Capping of long telomeres in ter1-Kpn;rap1-ΔC strains by very few Bcl repeats. Telomeric patterns of three independent ter1-Kpn;rap1-ΔC transformants (+) that carry the ter-BclI gene on a plasmid (pTER) and untransformed controls (−). Each set was subjected to three different restriction digestion protocols: EcoRI only (R1), reflecting total telomeric pattern, EcoRI + BclI (R1 + B), reflecting telomeric pattern except the Bcl cap, and EcoRI+KpnI (R1+K), reflecting the basal wild-type telomeric pattern.
