Abstract excerpt
We report the identification and characterization of transcriptional silencing at native telomeres in the budding yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. We show that K. lactis telomeres are able to repress the transcription of a gene located at the junction between the telomeric repeat tract and the subtelomeric domain. As in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, switching between the repressed and derepressed transcriptional states...
