== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TEBA_STENO TEBA_STENO] May function as protective capping of the single-stranded telomeric overhang. May also participate in telomere length regulation during DNA replication. Binds specifically to the T4G4-containing extension on the 3'strand and protects this region of the telomere from nuclease digestion and chemical modification.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Telomeres are specialized protein-DNA complexes that compose the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomeres protect chromosome termini from degradation and recombination and act together with telomerase to ensure complete genome replication. We have determined the crystal structure of the two-subunit Oxytricha nova telomere end binding protein (OnTEBP) complexed with single strand telomeric DNA at 2.8 A resolution. The structure reveals four oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding folds, three of which form a deep cleft that binds the ssDNA, and a fourth that forms an unusual protein-protein interaction between the alpha and beta subunits. This structure provides a molecular description of how the two subunits of OnTEBP recognize and bind ssDNA to form a sequence-specific, telomeric nucleoprotein complex that caps the very 3' ends of chromosomes.
