HOT1 functions as a homodimer to promote ALT-permissive chromatin

Telomere homeostasis is a tightly regulated and dynamic process sustained by a network of proteins that organize telomeric chromatin and safeguard chromosome stability. In ALT-positive cells, telomere maintenance relies on recombination-based mechanisms and is modulated by local chromatin states and epigenetic regulation. Here, we show that the telomeric binding protein HOT1 (HMBOX1) requires…
