The TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN complex mediates the attachment of telomeres to the nuclear envelope. Here the authors present the crystal structures of the human TERB1-TERB2 and TERB2-MAJIN subcomplexes and show that Terb2 mutations, which abolish complex formation cause aberrant homologous pairing and disordered synapsis in mouse.
