Orphan nuclear receptors-induced ALT-associated PML bodies are targets for ALT inhibition

Abstract excerpt

Orphan nuclear receptors (NRs), such as COUP-TF1, COUP-TF2, EAR2, TR2 and TR4, are implicated in telomerase-negative cancers that maintain their telomeres through the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) mechanism. However, how telomere association of orphan NRs is involved in ALT activation remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that telomeric tethering of orphan NRs in human fibroblasts initiates formation...
