Interaction of Rif1 Protein with G-Quadruplex in Control of Chromosome Transactions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
DNA Replication

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 1042))

Abstract

Recent studies on G-quadruplex (G4) revealed crucial and conserved functions of G4 in various biological systems. We recently showed that Rif1, a conserved nuclear factor, binds to G4 present in the intergenic regions and plays a major role in spatiotemporal regulation of DNA replication. Rif1 may tether chromatin fibers through binding to G4, generating specific chromatin domains that dictate the replication timing. G4 and its various binding partners are now implicated in many other chromosome regulations, including transcription, replication initiation, recombination, gene rearrangement, and transposition.
