| UniProt functional annotation for Q8L7L8 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8L7L8. |
| Organism: | Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis. | |
| Function: | Binds specifically to the plant telomeric double-stranded DNA sequences 5'-GGTTTAG-3'. At least 4 repeats of telomeric sequences are required for binding. Induces DNA bending. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer and heterodimer with TRP2 and TRP3. Interacts with KU70. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15364931, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15589838}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00625}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed ubiquitously. Highest expression in flowers and leaves. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15364931, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15688221}. | |
| Domain: | A N-terminal domain (80-269) is responsible for the interaction with KU70. | |
| Domain: | The C-terminal domain (464-578) is sufficient for telomere binding. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | No visible phenotype, probably due to redundancy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15364931}. | |
