Telomeres consist of an elaborate, higher-order DNA architecture, and a suite of proteins
that provide protection for the chromosome terminus by blocking inappropriate …

Parallel research on multiple model organisms shows that while some principles of telomere
biology are conserved among all eukaryotic kingdoms, we also find some deviations that …

Background The MYB gene family comprises one of the richest groups of transcription
factors in plants. Plant MYB proteins are characterized by a highly conserved MYB DNA …

The circadian clock helps organisms to anticipate and coordinate gene regulatory
responses to changes in environmental stimuli. Under growth limiting temperatures, the time …

Pot1 (p rotection oft elomeres 1) is a single-stranded telomere binding protein that is
essential for chromosome end protection and telomere length homeostasis. Arabidopsis …

The rapid evolution of telomere proteins has hindered identification of orthologs from diverse
species and created the impression that certain groups of eukaryotes have largely non …

Telomere homeostasis, a process that is essential for the maintenance of chromosome
integrity, is regulated by telomerase and a collection of associated proteins. By mass …

Telomeres, as physical ends of linear chromosomes, are targets of a number of specific
proteins, including primarily telomerase reverse transcriptase. Access of proteins to the …

Telomeres shield the natural ends of chromosomes from nucleolytic attack, recognition as
double-strand breaks, and inappropriate processing by DNA repair machinery. The trimeric …

Telomeres are essential structures at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Work on their
structure and function began almost 70 years ago in plants and flies, continued through the …
