Cockayne Syndrome group B protein interacts
... we report that CSB physically interacts with TRF2, a duplex telomeric DNA binding protein essential for telomere protection. We find that CSB localizes at a small subset of human telomeres and that it is required for preventing the formation of telomere dysfunction-induced foci (TIF) in CS cells. We ...

... We observed high frequencies of chromosome ends with undetectable TTAGGG repeats and extra-chromosomal telomeric DNA signals leading to an excess in the total yield of telomeric signals in FA cells. This result is interpreted as an excess of breaks in telomeric repeat arrays in FA lymphocytes. This ...
