| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The CST complex consists of three subunits of CTC1, STN1 and TEN1. It is phylogenetically conserved among budding yeast, fission yeast, mammals and plants, but its exact function remains to be explored. Because in fission yeast, stn1 is essential, we isolated a temperature-sensitive mutant stn1-1. Culturing stn1-1 in permissive, semi-permissive or non-permissive temperatures, we found that Stn1 is required for efficient progressing of DNA replication fork at subtelomeres. When stn1 is dysfunctional, replication forks fails to complete replication to the very end of telomere, leading to massive loss of subtelomeres and telomeres in a couple of cell cycles.
