Application Notes
1. TLR2 may be detected as a single band or as a doublet in western blot. Okabe (2000) described the doublet as 65 and 69 kDa using clone 4A794.15. However, observed molecular weights could vary depending on molecular weight standards used and gel conditions. 2. The TRF2 antibody is referred to as both clone 4A794.15 and 4A794 in the published literature. 3. The TRF2 antibody recognizes full-length TRF2 as well as TRF2 forms lacking both the N-terminal basic domain (B) and the telobox Myb-like C-terminal DNA-binding domain (M). TRF2 forms missing the B and M domains are often referred to as mutant TRF2. Refer to the published literature for additional information. 4. Although the exact epitope recognized by the TRF2 antibody has not been mapped, the scientific literature indicates it is in the D or L domain, but not in the B or M domain. The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Background: TRF-2

Originally discovered as part of shelterin complex, telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2, also called TERF2 or TRB2) is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein (55-60 kDa) involved in telomere homeostasis. TRF2 contains an N-terminal GAR domain, a central TRFH dimerization domain, and a C-terminal SAND/MYB-type DNA binding domain. Trf2 RNA has 10 exons and alternative splicing in rodents produces a truncated form, TRF2-S, which lacks the DNA binding domain and nuclear localization signal (NLS) (1).

Both TRF2 and TRF1 bind to telomeric double stranded 5'-TTAGGG-3' DNA repeats, then recruit RAP1, TIN2, TPP1, and POT1 for the assembly of the shelterin complex. The telomeric association of TRF2 is greatly increased in the S phase of the cell cycle (2). Loss of TRF2 leads to telomere shortening, the DNA damage response, chromosomal instability, and replicative senescence. Interestingly, the contribution of TRF2 to telomere shortening via a telomerase-independent mechanism has also been reported (3). In conjunction with the exonuclease, Apollo, TRF2 protects telomeres during replication and negatively regulates the accumulation of DNA topoisomerase (TOP1, TOP2A and TOP2B).

TRF2 has been implicated in cancer, shown to be a major oncogene in telomerase-deficient mice. A link to Werner syndrome, a premature aging disease caused by the loss of WRN, has been reported based on TRF2 recruitment of WRN for processing of telomeric DNA (4). TRF2 expression is increased during human embryonic stem cell differentiation and has been shown to interact with Repressor Element-1 Silencing Transcription Factor (REST), protecting it from proteasomal degradation (5).
