Functional diversification of yeast telomere associated protein, Rif1, in higher eukaryotes
19 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes at the end of linear eukaryotic chromosomes which maintain the genome integrity by regulating telomere length, preventing recombination and end to end fusion events. Multiple proteins associate with telomeres and function in concert to carry out these functions. Rap1 interacting factor 1 (Rif1), was identified as a protein involved in telomere length regulation in...
