We now appreciate that this unusual complex of DNA and protein is a dynamic structure that depends on telomerase and other cellular factors for maintenance. Regulation of telomere function is an ...

The telomere provides a protective cap for the linear chomosome ends. In S. cerevisiae this function is mediated by Cdc13, and two other proteins, Stn1 and Ten1. Several lines of evidence suggest that ...

During the early stages of meiosis, telomeres assemble into a structure that looks like the stems of a floral bouquet — the telomere bouquet. The main role of the telomere bouquet was thought to ...
