Deletions of TER and/or YlKU80 genes affect telomere length, single-stranded telomeric overhang and growth in Y. lipolytica. (a) The strains with indicated genotypes were passaged 2 times (each passage took 4 days) and the length of telomeres was assessed by TRF analysis. (b) Scheme of a chromosomal end containing a subtelomere with multiple PmlI restriction sites (modified from Kinsky et al., 2010). (c) The length of telomeric overhangs was measured by in-gel hybridization under nondenaturing conditions using a C-rich telomeric probe (central panel) and compared with the hybridization signal obtained by standard Southern blot hybridization (right panel). Ethidium bromide stained gel served as a loading control (left panel). (d) The comparison of growth rates of wild-type (WT) and Δter strain. The growth curve of Δter strain starts 5 days (~30 generations) after the transformation of cells with the deletion cassette.
