Abstract excerpt
The non-ORC protein, TIF1, recognizes sequences in the Tetrahymena thermophila ribosomal DNA (rDNA) minichromosome that are required for origin activation. We show here that TIF1 represses rDNA origin firing, but is required for proper macronuclear S phase progression and division. TIF1 mutants exhibit an elongated macronuclear S phase and diminished rate of DNA replication. Despite this, replication of the rDNA...
