Rif1: A Conserved Regulator of DNA Replication and Repair Hijacked by Telomeres in Yeasts
29 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
Rap1-interacting factor 1 (Rif1) was originally identified in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a telomere-binding protein that negatively regulates telomerase-mediated telomere elongation. Although this function is conserved in the distantly related fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, recent studies, both in yeasts and in metazoans, reveal that Rif1 also functions more globally, both in the...
