The nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair pathway is inhibited at telomeres, preventing chromosome fusion. In budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Rap1 protein directly binds the telomere sequences and is required for NHEJ inhibition. Here we show that the Rap1 C-terminal domain establishes two parallel inhibitory pathways through the proteins Rif2 and Sir4. In addition, the central domain of Rap1 inhibits NHEJ independently of Rif2 and Sir4. Thus, Rap1 establishes several independent pathways to prevent telomere fusions. We discuss a possible mechanism that would explain Rif2 multifunctionality at telomeres and the recent evolutionary origin of Rif2 from an origin recognition complex (ORC) subunit.
非同源末端连接(NHEJ)修复途径在端粒处受到抑制,从而防止染色体融合。在芽殖酵母酿酒酵母中,Rap1蛋白直接结合端粒序列,是NHEJ抑制所必需的。在这里,我们表明Rap1的C末端结构域通过Rif2和Sir4蛋白建立了两条平行的抑制途径。此外,Rap1的中央结构域独立于Rif2和Sir4抑制NHEJ。因此,Rap1建立了几个独立的途径来防止端粒融合。我们讨论了一种可能的机制,该机制可以解释Rif2在端粒处的多功能性以及Rif2从起源识别复合物(ORC)亚基的近期进化起源。
