Figure 1. Protelomerase Resolves Replicated Hairpin Telomeres
(A) Replication of a linear chromosome with hairpin telomeres produces a dimeric circular intermediate that is resolved into unit-length chromosomes by the activity of protelomerase.
(B) A model for the hairpin formation reaction by the protelomerase TelK, proposed based on the crystal structure presented in this study.
