The Saccharomyces telomere-binding protein Cdc13p interacts with both the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase α and the telomerase-associated Est1 protein

H Qi, VA Zakian - Genes & development, 2000 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Saccharomyces telomeres consist of∼ 350 bp of C1-3A/TG1-3 DNA. Most of this∼ 350 bp is
replicated by standard, semiconservative DNA replication. After conventional replication, the …
