A role for Separase in telomere protection
Drosophila telomeres are elongated by transposition of specialized retroelements rather than telomerase activity. Here, the authors show that Separase is enriched at Drosophila telomeres and loss of Sse, the gene encoding Separase, leads to telomere defects, suggesting a role for Separase in telomer...
