Abstract excerpt
Covalently closed hairpin ends, also known as hairpin telomeres, provide an unusual solution to the end replication problem. The hairpin telomeres are generated from replication intermediates by a process known as telomere resolution. This is a DNA breakage and reunion reaction promoted by hairpin telomere resolvases (also referred to as protelomerases) found in a limited number of phage and bacteria. The...
