Journal ArticleDOI

Saccharomyces Rrm3p, a 5' to 3' DNA helicase that promotes replication fork progression through telomeric and subtelomeric DNA.

TL;DR: In wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae, replication forks slowed during their passage through telomeric C(1-3)A/TG(3) tracts, greatly exacerbated in the absence of RRM3, shown here to encode a 5' to 3' DNA helicase.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Saccharomyces Pif1p DNA Helicase and the Highly Related Rrm3p Have Opposite Effects on Replication Fork Progression in Ribosomal DNA

TL;DR: A model in which replication fork pausing causes breakage and recombination in the rDNA is supported, as the Pif1p helicase and the highly related Rrm3p were rDNA associated in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pif1p helicase, a catalytic inhibitor of telomerase in yeast.

TL;DR: It is shown that Pif1p acts by inhibiting telomerase rather than telomere-telomere recombination, and this inhibition requires the helicase activity of PIF1p, which is a catalytic inhibitor of telomer enzyme-mediated telomeres lengthening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Creating a functional single-chromosome yeast

TL;DR: A functional single-chromosome yeast from a Saccharomyces cerevisiae haploid cell containing sixteen linear chromosomes is created by successive end-to-end chromosome fusions and centromere deletions to demonstrate an approach to exploration of eukaryote evolution with respect to chromosome structure and function.
