Dual DNA-binding capability of Cdc13 coordinates with Ku to safeguard telomere integrity

Zhitong Feng, Jiangchuan Shen, Yuxi Li…·Hengyao Niu

This study shows that Cdc13's dual DNA-binding capability coordinates with Ku to protect telomeres, and mutations in this function lead to metabolic reprogramming and increased fitness in yeast.

Cdc13 exhibits dynamic DNA strand exchange in the presence of telomeric DNA

David G. Nickens, Zhitong Feng, Jiangchuan Shen…·Matthew L. Bochman

This study shows that Cdc13 can dynamically exchange DNA strands in the presence of telomeric DNA, revealing a mechanism for its movement at telomeres.
