Abstract excerpt
Telomeres solve the end-replication problem. Previous results suggested a relation between Yku70/80 and proteins Tell and Rad50 in telomere stabilization. Inactivation of any of these genes lead to a shortening of telomeres, while in ku70 tell or ku70 rad50 double mutants a drastic amplification of Y' elements was found. The biological significance of this observation is not clear. To further characterize Y'...
