| Description | Proteins binding the single-stranded G-rich strand of the Arabidopsis type (TTTAGGG)n and related human-type (TTAGGG)n telomeric sequences are present in nuclear extracts of both Nicotiana and Cestrum, although the telomeres of any of these types types are present in Cestrum species. Analysis of POT1-like proteins available on public databases and cloned by us from C. parqui, revealed the N-terminal OB folds typical for this protein family and a novel, plant-specific conserved C-terminal OB-fold domain (CTOB). |
