Tying up the Ends: Plasticity in the Recognition of Single-Stranded DNA at Telomeres
30 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres terminate nearly exclusively in single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) overhangs comprised of the G-rich 3' end. This overhang varies widely in length from species to species, ranging from just a few bases to several hundred nucleotides. These overhangs are not merely a remnant of DNA replication but rather are the result of complex further processing. Proper management of the telomeric overhang is required both...
