Distinct functions of POT1 proteins contribute to the regulation of telomerase recruitment to telomeres

Mammalian shelterin proteins POT1 and TPP1 form a stable heterodimer that protects telomere ends. The authors exploit the observation that mice have two POT1 paralogs, enabling functional dissections to shed important light on the mechanistic basis for human POT1 functions.
