dc.description.abstract | Telomerase:
• A ribonucleoprotein complex, with RNA and protein components, in all eukaryotes
• Required for lengthening the ends of telomeric DNA by reverse transcriptase
Without Telomerase:
• Unable to lengthen chromosomes, DNA shortens with each replication
• Results in the loss of genetic information and greater susceptibility to mutation
Unknown:
• The exact amino acid interactions of the telomeric proteins
• The nature of the interaction between certain telomeric proteins
The Study will:
• Examine the relations of three telomeric proteins, TRF1, TRF2, and TIN2
• Attempt to form complexes with protein fragments of decreasing size (Figure 1)
• Examine the interaction between TRF1 and TRF2
• Lead to greater understanding concerning telomeric protein binding | en |
