Abstract: Telomeres, the ends of chromosomes, present cells with a problem -- they can trigger DNA-damage responses and may become degraded or fuse with one another. To prevent this, telomeres are complexed with proteins. One such protein -- the Oxytricha telomere end-binding protein -- has now been crystallized, and the structure shows how it is exquisitely tailored for its job.
