Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The mechanism of telomere maintenance at G0 cells of Schizosaccharomyces pombe is largely unknown. The amount of the components of shelterin complex in G0 cells was reduced to about one quarter compared to proliferating cells, suggesting that the structure of telomere might be different between G0 and proliferating cells. The viability of a deletion mutant of Rap1, which are known to negatively regulate the localization of telomerase to telomere in proliferating cells, became lower and lower in G0 phase compared to that of a wild-type strain, suggesting that Rap1 plays an important role in G0 cells.
