Type: | Domain | Name: | CST complex subunit Stn1, C-terminal |
Description: | Stn1 is a component of the CST complex, a complex that binds to single-stranded DNA and is required to protect telomeres from DNA degradation. The CST complex binds single-stranded DNA with high affinity in a sequence-independent manner, while isolated subunits bind DNA with low affinity by themselves. In addition to telomere protection, the CST complex has probably a more general role in DNA metabolism at non-telomeric sites [, ]. This entry represents the C-terminal domain of Stn1. | Short Name: | CST_STN1_C |
