Protection of telomeres by a conserved Stn1–Ten1 complex
22 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are specialized chromatin structures that protect chromosome ends. Critical among telomere proteins are those that bind the telomeric single-strand DNA (ssDNA) overhangs. These proteins are thought to differ among eukaryotes. Three interacting proteins (Cdc13, Stn1, and Ten1) associate with the telomeric overhang in budding yeast, a single protein known as Pot1 (protection of telomeres-1) performs this...
