Plant telomere-binding proteins [PDF]
Biologia Plantarum, 2006 Telomere-binding proteins have recently been recognised not only as necessary building blocks of telomere structure, but namely as components which are of central importance to telomere metabolism being involved in regulation of telomere length as well as in protective (capping) function of telomeres.

Identification and characterization of novel telomere binding proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2021 Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures at the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes. The specific DNA structures are exposed to the so-called end-replication and end-protection problems. Proteins that bind specifically to the unique sequences of telomeres aid in solving these problems. In vertebrates, the core protective complex is called shelterin and

Telomeric repeats facilitate CENP-A(Cnp1) incorporation via telomere binding proteins.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The histone H3 variant, CENP-A, is normally assembled upon canonical centromeric sequences, but there is no apparent obligate coupling of sequence and assembly, suggesting that centromere location can be epigenetically determined.

Identification of telomerase RNAs in species of the Yarrowia clade provides insights into the co-evolution of telomerase, telomeric repeats and telomere-binding proteins. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Telomeric repeats in fungi of the subphylum Saccharomycotina exhibit great inter- and intra-species variability in length and sequence. Such variations challenged telomeric DNA-binding proteins that co-evolved to maintain their functions at telomeres ...

Evolution of Telomeres in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Its Possible Relationship to the Diversification of Telomere Binding Proteins. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 Telomeres of nuclear chromosomes are usually composed of an array of tandemly repeated sequences that are recognized by specific Myb domain containing DNA-binding proteins (telomere-binding proteins, TBPs).

Plasmodium falciparum GBP2 Is a Telomere-Associated Protein That Binds to G-Quadruplex DNA and RNA
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 In the early-diverging protozoan parasite Plasmodium, few telomere-binding proteins have been identified and several are unique. Plasmodium telomeres, like those of most eukaryotes, contain guanine-rich repeats that can form G-quadruplex structures.

Euplotes crassushas genes encoding telomere-binding proteins and telomere-binding protein homologs [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1992 We have identified two 1.6 kb macronuclear DNA molecules from Euplotes crassus that hybridize to the alpha subunit of the Oxytricha telomere protein. We have shown that one of these molecules encodes the 51 kDa Euplotes telomere protein while the other appears to encode a homolog of the telomere protein.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae telomerase subunit Est3 binds telomeres in a cell cycle- and Est1-dependent manner and interacts directly with Est1 in vitro. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 Telomerase is a telomere dedicated reverse transcriptase that replicates the very ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Saccharomyces cerevisiae telomerase consists of TLC1 (the RNA template), Est2 (the catalytic subunit), and two accessory proteins, Est1 and ...
