Ustilago maydis Trf2 ensures genome stability by antagonizing Blm-mediated telomere recombination: optimizing DNA repair factor activity through opposing regulations

Syed S. Zahid, Sarah Aloe, Jeanette Sutherland…·Neal F. Lue

The paper investigates Trf2's role in Ustilago maydis by showing it inhibits Blm-mediated telomere recombination, with opposing regulation by Tay1 to optimize telomere maintenance and protection.
