Identification of novel interactors of human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Feb 18;51(14):2964-7. doi: 10.1039/c4cc07231f.

Abstract

A chemoproteomic-driven approach was used to investigate the interaction network between human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA and nuclear proteins. We identified novel G-quadruplex binding partners, able to recognize these DNA structures at chromosome ends, suggesting a possible, and so far unknown, role of these proteins in telomere functions.
