title: Roles of DNA repair proteins in telomere maintenance.
abstract: Telomeres are protected and maintained by telomere-specific proteins. In addition, proteins involved in DNA repair, such as Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex, RPA, and RecQ helicase, are also involved in telomere maintenance. In this review, the roles of these proteins in telomere maintenance and their functional relationships to the telomere-specific proteins will be discussed.
