Structural insights into POT1-TPP1 interaction and POT1 C-terminal mutations in human cancer

Human telomeres are protected by a specialized shelterin complex composed of six proteins. Here the authors structurally characterize the interaction between the POT1-TPP1 shelterin component and identify mutations associated with genome instability and cancer that disrupt the POT1-TPP1 interaction.
