Little is known about the protein composition of plant telomeres. We queried the Arabidopsis
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 …
