Identification of Protein Components of Yeast Telomerase
Abstract
Telomere length is tightly regulated in Saccharomycetes. This lengthening is dependent on TLC1, which encodes the RNA component of telomerase but independent of RAD52, which encodes a protein required for most recombination events in mitotic yeast cells. Most cells lacking yeast telomerase die but survivors arise by RAD52 dependent events: the majority of these survivors have tandem duplications of the sub-telomeric Y' element.
