Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase that maintains chromosome integrity through synthesis of repetitive telomeric sequences on the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, telomere length homeostasis is achieved through negative regulation of telomerase access to the chromosome terminus by telomere-bound Rap1 protein and its binding partners, Rif1p and Rif2p, and positive...
