Abstract

Recombination-mediated pathways for telomere lengthening may be utilized in the absence of telomerase activity. The RecQ-like helicases, BLM and Sgs1, are implicated in recombination-mediated telomere lengthening in human cells and budding yeast, respectively. Here, we show that BLM expression rescues disrupted telomere lengthening in telomerase-negative sgs1 yeast. BLM helicase activity is required for this complementation, indicating BLM and Sgs1 resolve the same telomeric structures. These data support a conserved function for BLM and Sgs1 in recombination-mediated telomere lengthening.
