  • Title: Antigenic variation: extending the reach of telomeric silencing.
    Author: Horn D.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2009 Jun 23; 19(12):R496-8. PubMed ID: 19549499.
    Abstract:
    Immune evasion in the parasitic African trypanosome relies upon the silencing of variant surface glycoprotein genes that are found adjacent to telomeres. Work on the RAP1 telomere-binding protein now indicates that silencing spreads over a sufficient distance to repress these genes.
