TERRA G-quadruplex RNA interaction with TRF2 GAR domain is required for telomere integrity

Abstract Telomere dysfunction causes chromosomal instability which is associated with many cancers and age-related diseases. The non-coding telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) forms a structural and regulatory component of the telomere that is implicated in telomere maintenance and chromosomal e...
