| Abstract | In yeast telomerase mutants, the Sgs1 RecQ helicase slows the rate of senescence and also facilitates the appearance of certain types of survivors of critical telomere shortening via mechanisms dependent on Rad52-dependent homologous recombination (HR). Here we describe a third function for Sgs1 in telomerase-deficient cells, inhibition of survivors that grow independent of Rad52. Unlike tlc1 rad52 double mutants, which do not form survivors of telomere dysfunction, tlc1 rad52 sgs1 triple mutants readily generated survivors. After emerging from growth crisis, the triple mutants progressively lost telomeric and subtelomeric sequences, yet grew for more than 1 year. Analysis of cloned chromosome termini and of copy number changes of loci genome-wide using tiling arrays revealed terminal deletions extending up to 57 kb, as well as changes in Ty retrotransposon copy numbers. Amplification of the remaining terminal sequences generated large palindromes at some chromosome termini. Sgs1 helicase activity but not checkpoint function was essential for inhibiting the appearance of the survivors, and the continued absence of Sgs1 was required for the growth of the established survivors. Thus, in addition to facilitating the maintenance of telomere repeat sequences via HR-dependent mechanisms, a RecQ helicase can prevent the adoption of HR-independent mechanisms that stabilize chromosome termini without the use of natural telomere sequences. This provides a novel mechanism by which RecQ helicases may help maintain genome integrity and thus prevent age-related diseases and cancer. |

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.
