The replication of long tracts of telomeric repeats may require specific factors to avoid fork regression (Fouche, N., Ozgur, S., Roy, D., and Griffith, J. (2006) Nucleic Acids Res., in press). Here we show that TRF2 binds to model replication forks and four-way junctions in vitro in a structure-specific but sequence-independent manner. A synthetic peptide encompassing the TRF2 basic domain also binds to DNA four-way junctions, whereas the TRF2 truncation mutant (TRF2(Delta B)) and a mutant basic domain peptide do not. In the absence of the basic domain, the ability of TRF2 to localize to model telomere ends and facilitate t-loop formation in vitro is diminished. We propose that TRF2 plays a key role during telomere replication in binding chickenfoot intermediates of telomere replication fork regression. Junction-specific binding would also allow TRF2 to stabilize a strand invasion structure that is thought to exist at the strand invasion site of the t-loop.
