New publication from the Butter lab on the identification of novel telomere binding proteins TEBP-1 and TEBP-2 in C. elegans

12-05-2021

In this new publication, the Butter lab used a quantitative proteomics approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of the proteins interacting with the telomere sequence in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. They indentified TEBP-1 and TEBP-2, two paralogs expressed in the germline and embryogenesis, as telomere-associated proteins. Read the full paper here.
