The Candida albicans Ku70 modulates telomere length and structure by regulating both telomerase and recombination.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

The heterodimeric Ku complex has been shown to participate in DNA repair and telomere regulation in a variety of organisms. Here we report a detailed characterization of the function of Ku70 in the diploid fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Both ku70 heterozygous and homozygous deletion mutants have a wild-type colony and cellular morphology, and are not sensitive to MMS or UV light. Interestingly, we observed...
