ABSTRACT

Efficient replication of terminal DNA is crucial to maintain telomere stability. In fission yeast, Taz1 and the Stn1-Ten1 (ST) complex play prominent roles in DNA-ends replication. However, their function remains elusive. Here, we have analyzed genome-wide replication and show that ST does not affect genome-wide replication but is crucial for the efficient replication of a subtelomeric region called STE3-2. We further show that, when ST function is compromised, a homologous recombination (HR)-based fork restart mechanism becomes necessary for STE3-2 stability. While both Taz1 and Stn1 bind to STE3-2, we find that the STE3-2 replication function of ST is independent of Taz1 but relies on its association with the shelterin proteins Pot1-Tpz1-Poz1. Finally, we demonstrate that the firing of an origin normally inhibited by Rif1 can circumvent the replication defect of subtelomeres when ST function is compromised. Our results help illuminate why fission yeast telomeres are terminal fragile sites.
