Recombinational telomere elongation promoted by DNA circles.

Molecular and cellular biology - 1 Jul 2002

Natarajan Shobhana, McEachern Michael J

Abstract excerpt

Yeast mutants lacking telomerase are capable of maintaining telomeres by an alternate mechanism that depends on homologous recombination. We show here, by using Kluyveromyces lactis cells containing two types of telomeric repeats, that recombinational telomere elongation generates a repeating pattern common in most or all telomeres in survivors that retain both repeat types. We propose that these patterns arise...
