| Abstract | Telomeres are specialized chromatin structures that protect chromosome ends. Critical among telomere proteins are those that bind the telomeric single-strand DNA (ssDNA) overhangs. These proteins are thought to differ among eukaryotes. Three interacting proteins (Cdc13, Stn1, and Ten1) associate with the telomeric overhang in budding yeast, a single protein known as Pot1 (protection of telomeres-1) performs this function in fission yeast, and a two-subunit complex consisting of POT1 and TPP1 associates with telomeric ssDNA in humans. Cdc13 and Pot1 have related oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding fold (OB-fold) domains that bind the telomeric ssDNA overhang. Here we show that Schizosaccharomyces pombe has Stn1- and Ten1-like proteins that are essential for chromosome end protection. Stn1 orthologs exist in all species that have Pot1, whereas Ten1-like proteins can be found in all fungi. Fission yeast Stn1 and Ten1 localize at telomeres in a manner that correlates with the length of the ssDNA overhang, suggesting that they specifically associate with the telomeric ssDNA. Unlike in budding yeast, in which Cdc13, Stn1, and Ten1 all interact, fission yeast Stn1 and Ten1 associate with each other, but not with Pot1. Our findings suggest that two separate protein complexes are required for chromosome end protection in fission yeast. Structural profiling studies detect OB-fold domains in Stn1 and Ten1 orthologs, indicating that protection of telomeres by multiple proteins with OB-fold domains is conserved in eukaryotic evolution. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
