TERF2IP (Telomeric Repeat Binding Factor 2 Interacting Protein), also known as RAP1. is a critical component of the shelterin complex that safeguards telomeres—the protective nucleoprotein structures at chromosome ends. Telomeres prevent genomic instability by masking chromosomal termini from DNA repair machinery and regulating telomere length through interactions with telomerase. TERF2IP directly binds to TERF2 (TRF2), another shelterin protein, to stabilize the loop structure of telomeres (t-loop) and suppress unwanted DNA damage responses. Unlike most shelterin components, RAP1 has dual roles: it participates in telomere protection and also localizes to non-telomeric regions, influencing transcriptional regulation and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling.
Recombinant TERF2IP proteins are engineered for in vitro studies to dissect its molecular functions. These proteins are typically expressed in bacterial (e.g., *E. coli*) or mammalian systems, often fused with tags like His or GST for purification and detection. Structural studies using recombinant TERF2IP have revealed its N-terminal domain mediates TERF2 interaction, while the C-terminal region facilitates chromatin binding. Researchers utilize these proteins to explore TERF2IP’s role in telomere homeostasis, its involvement in diseases like cancer and premature aging syndromes (e.g., dyskeratosis congenita), and its non-telomeric regulatory functions. Mutations or dysregulation of TERF2IP are linked to telomere shortening, genomic instability, and inflammatory pathways, making it a target for therapeutic strategies. Recombinant TERF2IP also aids in screening small molecules or gene-editing approaches aimed at modulating telomere dynamics or NF-κB-associated pathologies.
