Replication stress as a source of telomere recombination during replicative senescence inSaccharomyces cerevisiae
27 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
Replicative senescence is triggered by short unprotected telomeres that arise in the absence of telomerase. In addition, telomeres are known as difficult regions to replicate due to their repetitive G-rich sequence prone to secondary structures and tightly bound non-histone proteins. Here we review accumulating evidence that telomerase inactivation in yeast immediately unmasks the problems associated with...
