thaliana genome data base in search of genes with similarity to the human telomere proteins
hTRF1 and hTRF2. hTRF1/hTRF2 are distinguished by the presence of a single Myb-like
domain in their C terminus that is required for telomeric DNA binding in vitro. Twelve
Arabidopsis genes fitting this criterion, dubbed TRF-like (TRFL), fell into two distinct gene
families. Notably, TRFL family 1 possessed a highly conserved region C-terminal to the Myb …
