20. Plasmid pADE2 (11) was cut with Bam HI and religated, deleting the ADE2 gene. The resulting plasmid (sp59) was cut with Bam HI, end-filled with Klenow polymerase, and ligated with Eco RI-Xba I end-filled fragment from D1724 (23), creating plasmids sp 194 (with the two telomeric sequences in opposite orientation) and sp195 (with the two telomeric sequences in the same orientation). Plasmid sp193 (Tel270 in opposite orientation) was created by inserting an Eco RI-Hind III end-filled fragment from pLTel (73) into sp59 cut with Bam HI. Yeast strains used in this study are all derivatives of Lev95 (MATa ade2-1 trp1-1 leu2-3, 112his3-11, 15 URA3-1 can1-100 rap1::LEU2 pRAP1-SUP4-0), which is itself derived from strain W303-1B. Lev143/144, Lev165/ 166, and Lev153/154/155 result from the transformation of Lev95 with the linearized plasmids sp194, sp195, and sp193, respectively. Lev7 and Lev8 are described in (24).

24. G site was ligated with BgI II-cut sp180 to give plasmid sp181. Lev130, Lev132, and Lev134 result from the transformation of Lev95 with the linearized plasmids sp179, sp180, and sp181, respectively.

28. In both wild-type and mutant cells, we observed a nonlinear response with increasing numbers of Gbd/ Rap1 hybrids targeted to the telomere. One possible explanation is that full site occupancy may not have been achieved in these experiments, particularly with larger numbers of sites (three or four).

42. G sites is still insufficient to reduce telomere length (17); this indicates that a threshold number of Rap1 p COOH-terminal domains, not obtained under these conditions, is required to effectively inhibit telomere elongation.
