Rap1 and Cdc13 have complementary roles in preventing exonucleolytic degradation of telomere 5′ ends

Abstract Telomere DNA ends with a single-stranded 3′ overhang. Long 3′ overhangs may cause aberrant DNA damage responses and accelerate telomere attrition, which is associated with cancer and aging, respectively. Genetic studies have indicated several important players in preventing 5′ end hyper-res...
