GbTRB1 binds telomeric DNA in Ginkgo biloba
Telomere-binding proteins play a crucial role in maintaining the stability of telomere structures. In this study, we found that GbTRB1, a double-stranded telomere-binding protein, can bind telomeric DNA., plays a pivotal role in telomere complex ...

Identification of non-coding RNAs associated with telomeres using a combination of enChIP and RNA sequencing. [PDF]
Accumulating evidence suggests that RNAs interacting with genomic regions play important roles in the regulation of genome functions, including X chromosome inactivation and gene expression. However, to our knowledge, no non-biased methods of identifying

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

G-quadruplexes and G-quadruplex ligands: targets and tools in antiviral therapy [PDF]
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acids secondary structures that form within guanine-rich strands of regulatory genomic regions. G4s have been extensively described in the human genome, especially in telomeres and oncogene promoters; in ...

Modeling cancer genomic data in yeast reveals selection against ATM function during tumorigenesis [PDF]
The DNA damage response (DDR) comprises multiple functions that collectively preserve genomic integrity and suppress tumorigenesis. The Mre11 complex and ATM govern a major axis of the DDR and several lines of evidence implicate that axis in tumor ...

SLX4 Assembles a Telomere Maintenance Toolkit by Bridging Multiple Endonucleases with Telomeres
SLX4 interacts with several endonucleases to resolve structural barriers in DNA metabolism. SLX4 also interacts with telomeric protein TRF2 in human cells. The molecular mechanism of these interactions at telomeres remains unknown.

Single stranded DNA annealing is a conserved activity of telomere resolvases.
Bacterial species of the genera Agrobacterium and Borrelia possess chromosomes terminated by hairpin telomeres. Replication produces dimeric replication intermediates fused via replicated telomere junctions. A specialized class of enzymes, referred to as

Telomere protein complexes and their role in lymphoid malignancies [PDF]
Telomeres are highly regulated and dynamic complexes that protect the genomic DNA and prevent the end of linear chromosomes from being misrecognized as a broken DNA.
