Construction and Expression of Eukaryotic Expression Vector and Plasmid Expressing siRNA of Human Protection of Telomeres 1

1 IntroductionThe POT1 (protection of telomeres 1) protein binds the single-stranded overhang at the ends of chromosomes in diverse eukaryocytes. It is essential for chromosome end-protection in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and it is involved in regulation of telomere length in human cells. Human POT1 had been identified in 2001 year. Its amino terminal is highly conservative in eukaryocytes. Since Pot1 can bind internal loops and directly adjacent DNA-binding sites, it is…
