The TEL patch of telomere protein TPP1 mediates telomerase recruitment and processivity

Human chromosome ends are capped by shelterin, a protein complex that protects the natural ends from being recognized as sites of DNA damage and also regulates the telomere-replicating enzyme, telomerase1–3. Shelterin includes the heterodimeric POT1-TPP1 protein, which binds the telomeric single-str...
