TABLE 3.

Rap1p binding potential is not critical for determination of replicative capacity of telomerase-deficient K. lactis strains

Strain	Initial telomere length (kb)	Range of final telomere length (kb)	Δ shortening (kb)	Replicative capacity (no. of passages)
Strain	Initial telomere length (kb)	Range of final telomere length (kb)	Δ shortening (kb)	Avg^d	Maximal
TER1	0.49	0.19-0.21	0.32	3 ± 0.18	4
ter1-AA	6-10^a	0.25-10^a	5.75-9.75^b	16.1 ± 2.2	40
ter1-Bsi	6-10^a	0.25-10^a	5.75-9.75^b	20.9 ± 12.1^c	40+
ter1-Acc	6-10^a	0.25-10^a	5.75-9.75^b	21 ± 4.2^c	39

The upper limit of the telomeric bands is at the limit of mobility of the gels, around 10 kb.

It is impossible to define the source of the fastest migrating fragments; therefore, the Δ shortening is shown for either possibility (fastest migrating fragment or slowest migrating initial fragment shortening to the fastest migrating fragments).

Calculated only for those clones that achieved final replicative capacity.

Data are means ± standard deviations.
