Characterization of t-loop formation by TRF2

T-loops are thought to hide telomeres from DNA damage signaling and DSB repair pathways. T-loop formation requires the shelterin component TRF2, which represses ATM signaling and NHEJ. Here we establish that TRF2 alone, in the absence of other shelterin proteins can form t-loops. Mouse and human cel...
