TRIM28 inhibits alternative lengthening of telomere phenotypes by protecting SETDB1 from degradation

Abstract Background About 10–15% of tumor cells extend telomeres through the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) mechanism, which is a recombination-dependent replication pathway. It is generally believed that ALT cells are related to the chromatin modification of telomeres. However, the mech...
