Description

Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes located at the ends of linear chromosomes. Acting like a cap, they protect chromosome ends from degradation and rearrangement, maintaining genomic stability. Our lab has identified several T. brucei telomere proteins, including TRF (TTAGGG Repeat-binding Factor), TIN2 (TRF1-interacting Nulcear Protein 2) and RAP1 (Repressor Activator Protein 1) homologs. We are currently verifying the interactions between the new candidates and TbTIN2 or TbRAP1.
