TRF1 TRFH domain and TIN2 peptide complex, pdb=3BQO
The TRFH (Telomeric Repeat Factor Homology) is a domain which is in the centre of the TRF1(Telomeric Repeat-Binding Factor) and of about 200 amino acids.In humans TERF1 is encoded by the TERF1 gene. TIN2(TERF1-interacting Nuclear Factor) is a protein encoded in humans by the TINF2 gene that can bind to TRFH TRF1.
