Inhibition of telomere recombination by inactivation of KEOPS subunit Cgi121 promotes cell longevity.

DNA double strand break (DSB) is one of the major damages that cause genome instability and cellular aging. The homologous recombination (HR)-mediated repair of DSBs plays an essential role in assurance of genome stability and cell longevity. Telomeres resemble DSBs and are competent for HR. Here we...
