The mutation D223Y in Rpa1 leads to telomere shortening and replication defects at lagging-stand telomeres.RPA1 prevents the formation of G-quadruplex structures at lagging-strand telomeres and facilitate telomerase action at telomeres.
Title: RPA prevents G-rich structure formation at lagging-strand telomeres to allow maintenance of chromosome ends.

A mutant protein, ssb1-418, greatly alleviated the repair and mitotic defects of mutant cut14-Y1. Ssb1 protein formed nucleolar foci in cut14-Y1 cells, but the number of foci was diminished in cut14-Y1 ssb1-418 double mutants.
Title: Opposing role of condensin hinge against replication protein A in mitosis and interphase through promoting DNA annealing.

Results suggest that in the absence of Taz1 and functional RPA, Pot1 cannot function properly and the helicase activity of Rqh1 promotes telomere loss.
Title: Fission yeast Taz1 and RPA are synergistically required to prevent rapid telomere loss.
