According to recent research published in the journal Yeast, "Telomere length is regulated by a complex interplay of several factors, including telomerase, telomere-binding proteins, DNA replication machinery and recombination. In yeast, DNA polymerase alpha is required for de novo synthesis of telomeres from broken ends of DNA, and it also suppresses the elongation of normal telomeric repeats."
"Heterochromatin proteins Clr1-Clr4 and Swi6 and DNA pol alpha organize heterochromatin structure at mating type, centromere, rDNA and telomere regions that are refractory to transcription and recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Here, we have addressed the role of ...
