Abstract excerpt
Telomere synthesis depends on telomerase, which contains an RNA subunit linked to a specialized reverse transcriptase subunit and several associated proteins. Here we report the characterization of four mutations in the yeast reverse transcriptase subunit Est2p that cause an overelongation of telomeres and an increase in the association of Est1p with telomeres during S phase. These 'up-mutations' are clustered in...
