Oxidative damage in telomeric DNA disrupts recognition by TRF1 and TRF2
The ends of linear chromosomes are capped by protein–DNA complexes termed telomeres. Telomere repeat binding factors 1 and 2 (TRF1 and TRF2) bind specifically to duplex telomeric DNA and are critical components of functional telomeres. Consequences of telomere dysfunction include genomic instability...
