Open AccessRif1 S-acylation mediates DNA double-strand break repair at the inner nuclear membrane
Rif1 is involved in telomere homeostasis, DNA replication timing, and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway choice from yeast to human. The molecular mechanisms that enable Rif1 to fulfill its diverse r...

Rif1 maintains telomeres and mediates DNA repair by encasing DNA ends
Structure determination and functional analyses of budding yeast Rif1 reveal a novel, hooked N-terminal DNA-binding domain required for telomere maintenance and checkpoint control and show that Rif1's role in ...
