Received March 1, 2004; revised version accepted April 20, 2004.
; Chakhparonian and Wellinger 2003). Short, direct DNA repeats constitute the underlying telomeric DNA and the strand running 5' to 3' toward the end of the chromosomes is usually rich in guanines (the G-rich strand). Lagging-strand synthesis always occurs on this G-rich strand and will leave a short gap at the 5' end of the newly synthesized C-rich strand. This gap cannot be filled in by repair, and a 3' G-rich overhang, called G-tail, remains. On the other end, leading-strand synthesis is thought to produce a blunt extremity. However, studies of the terminal DNA arrangement in a variety of organisms suggest that a G-tail is a conserved motif for all telomeres (Chakhparonian and Wellinger 2003). Thus, the question arises as to how the blunt-ended DNA ends generated by leading-strand synthesis are converted into ends with a G-tail.
Studies in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have shown that its telomeres acquire detectable G-tails late in S phase, after conventional replication (Wellinger et al. 1993a,b). Moreover, at least on the ends of a linear plasmid, G-tails occur on both, leading- and lagging-strand ends (Wellinger et al. 1996). Surprisingly, these S-phase-specific G-tails can also be detected in cells lacking telomerase, the main activity responsible for replicating telomeric G-strands (Dionne and Wellinger 1996). Collectively, these results suggest that the blunt end left after completion of leading-strand synthesis is processed into an end with a G-tail, presumably by nuclease/helicase activities (Wellinger et al. 1996). Analyses of the requirements to establish a normal telomeric DNA end-structure are hampered by the fact that for wild-type yeast cells, the precise DNA arrangement outside of S phase is unknown.
Recent studies on the Mre11p/Rad50p/Xrs2p (MRX) proteins, an evolutionarily conserved complex involved in a number of processes in mitosis and meiosis, revealed that this complex may play a key role in telomere length maintenance in humans, plants, and yeasts (for review, see Haber 1998; D'Amours and Jackson 2002). Yeast cells harboring a deletion of any one of these genes are viable, but display shortened telomeric repeat tracts (Kironmai and Muniyappa 1997; Boulton and Jackson 1998). The Mre11p protein alone, or in association with other proteins, displays various nucleolytic activities (D'Amours and Jackson 2002), and it has been demonstrated that in a de novo telomere formation assay, the MRX complex is needed for the generation of telomeric G-strand DNA and the loading of G-tail-binding proteins (Diede and Gottschling 2001). In addition, the MRX complex in Schizosaccharomyces pombe might process telomeric DNA ends in the absence of a DNA double-stranded-binding protein Taz1p (Tomita et al. 2003).
To gain insights into the requirements to establish a normal DNA end at telomeres, we developed a stringently controlled hybridization assay as well as a primer-extension assay. The results demonstrate that most of the normal yeast telomeres end in a G-tail of 
12–14 bases. Moreover, we show that in mre11
strains, this constitutive DNA end-structure is compromised; specifically, G-tails in such mutant strains are shorter. In addition, whereas the dynamics of the cell cycle-dependent increase of G-tail signals at the end of S phase occurs in both wild-type and mutant strains in an indistinguishable fashion, signals for G-tails at the end of S phase were also weaker in the mre11 strain. The data thus show that short 10–15-base G-tails are the proper ends of yeast chromosomes, and in mre11 cells, there is a deficiency in forming those G-tails, even though G-tail presence is not completely abolished. Therefore, the MRX complex does play a direct role in telomeric end-structure processing in normal yeast cells and could play a similar role at mammalian telomeres.

There is accumulating evidence that the three interacting proteins Mre11p, Rad50p, and Xrs2p (NBS1), forming the MRX or MRE11 complex, play a role in telomere maintenance in yeasts, plants, and mammals. If the MRX complex were involved in the processing of the blunt ends left after completion of leading-strand synthesis at the telomeres, one would expect to detect shorter G-tails (either transiently or constitutively) on yeast telomeres in strains lacking any of the components of the complex. The presence of G-tails can be assessed using a nondenaturing in-gel hybridization technique that we developed previously (Dionne and Wellinger 1996). Such analyses on DNA derived from asynchronously grown wild-type cell cultures yielded very faint signals for chromosomal terminal restriction fragments (TRFs). It remained unclear whether these signals were due to constitutive short G-tails or whether they were due to a fraction of cells being in late S phase, when G-tails are easily detectable on yeast telomeres (Wellinger et al. 1993b; Dionne and Wellinger 1996). However, such signals on telomeres of a high-copy linear plasmid of 7.5 kb, called YLpFAT10, are concentrated in a small area of the gel and become readily visible, even on DNA derived from G1-arrested cultures (Fig. 1A [top right] B). FACS analysis and counting of unbudded versus budded cells of these cultures established that the vast majority of cells (
95%) were indeed in G1 (data not shown; see Supplementary Fig. 1). More importantly, when genomic DNA isolated from mre11 strains was analyzed in the same fashion, a significant reduction of the signals for the G-tails is observed (Fig. 1A [top right, cf. lanes marked MRE11 and those marked mre11], B). Treatment of the DNA with exonuclease I prior to the end-structure analyses (ExoI+ lanes in Fig. 1A) indicates that the detected signal corresponds to terminal single-stranded G-strands. Furthermore, the same gel shown in Figure 1A was also hybridized to a G-rich probe and no telomeric C-rich signals were detected (data not shown). Quantification of the signals for G-tails confirmed that they are 1.3- to 2-fold lower on DNA derived from mre11 cells as compared with wild-type cells (Fig. 1B). Similar results were obtained for a rad50 strain, with strains of different genetic backgrounds and when chromosomal telomeres were analyzed (Fig. 1B; Supplementary Fig. 2; data not shown). Collectively, these results demonstrate that in G1, G-tails can be detected on telomeres of yeast cells, and that the signal for G-tails in mre11 cells is reduced when compared with wild-type cells.

cells (Fig. 3). For wild-type cells, extension products up to 12–14 nucleotides are readily detectable. Remarkably, products of 9–12 nucleotides were more abundant than shorter products. In contrast, short products (+2 to +8) were much more abundant than the longer products when DNA derived from mre11 cells was used (Fig. 3). However, we note that even with DNA derived from these mutant cells, weak signals for G-tails of the same length as those seen with DNA derived from wild-type cells could be detected. Quantification of the signals revealed that with DNA derived from wild-type cells, about three- to fourfold more signal is in the range of +8 and longer as compared with the mre11 cells (data not shown; see Fig. 3). Therefore, whereas all strains can have G-tails of 12–14 bases, the fraction of telomeres ending with a G-tail of 8 nucleotides and longer is significantly reduced in mre11 cells. At least qualitatively, these results are consistent with the results obtained using hybridization techniques (Figs. 1, 2) and confirm that a large fraction of the constitutive G-tails observed on telomeres in G1 is shorter in mre11 cells, when compared with wild-type cells. Taken together, the data show that the constitutive chromosomal DNA end-structure for wild-type yeast cells encompasses overhangs of the G-rich strand that vary in length, with most of them being shorter than 14 nucleotides. Moreover, the constitutive G-tails on telomeres of mre11 cells clearly are shorter, most of them being shorter than 8 bases.

Next, we wished to examine what fraction of telomeres does carry such 3'-overhangs and whether some telomeres carried a blunt-end or a short 5'-overhang. Genomic DNA with a native telomeric end-structure was treated with Exonuclease III. This strand-specific exonuclease degrades the strands with the 3'-end on dsDNA that is blunt or possesses a 5'-overhang. As positive controls, we used genomic DNA on which telomeres were blunt-ended by ExoI treatment as in Figure 1, prior to ExoIII treatment. On this DNA, the generation of 5'-overhangs is detectable by a GT probe after nondenaturing in-gel hybridization (Fig. 4A). However, native ends are, by and large, resistant to ExoIII treatment (Fig. 4A). Quantification of the gel revealed that the signals for blunted ends were 5- to 10-fold increased when compared with those obtained with native telomeres. In a second and independent approach, we used YLpFAT10 telomeres to determine the amount of ends harboring G-tails. Because YLpFAT10 as well as the pGTxx plasmid series each contained one sequence element complementary to the T7 probe, the estimated number of telomeres ending with G-tails could be derived by comparing signals obtained on pGTxx plasmids with those on YLpFAT10. DNA in gels such as shown in Figure 2A was denatured, hybridized to a T7 probe, and the signals for the GT22, GT19 plasmids and YLpFAT10 were quantified. This yielded an approximate ratio of YLpFAT10 molecules with respect to the control pGTxx DNAs on the gels. In parallel, the same DNA was analyzed by nondenaturing in-gel hybridization using the CA-telomeric probe, washed at 4°C, and signal intensities for plasmids GT22, GT19 and YLpFAT10 were again quantified. These latter signal intensities were corrected for the fact that each YLpFAT10 molecule contains two telomeres, whereas the pGTxx plasmids only contained one target sequence for the CA probe. The obtained values were then adjusted to the molecular ratio of the molecules. Assuming equal chances of hybridization to each of the targets, the obtained values indicate the fraction of YLpFAT10 telomeres hybridizing to the probe (Fig. 4B). Although there is some variability, the data corroborate the results obtained with the ExoIII experiments, in that at least 80% of the telomeres on YLpFAT10 hybridized to the probe when the gels were washed at 4°C. Taken together, these data indicate that the vast majority, and most likely, all native telomeres have a 3'-overhang.

cells
Because we observed that mre11 cells display shorter G-tails than wild-type cells, we were interested in determining whether the S-phase-dependent increase in G-tail signals observed in wild-type cells was decreased or abolished in the mutants. MRE11 and mre11 cells were synchronized, and DNA analyzed at different time points by in-gel hybridization (Supplementary Figs. 1, 2; data not shown). A quantification of the relative signals shows a significant reduction for telomeric G-tail signals in 
-factor and cdc7-arrested mre11 cells when compared with wild-type cells (Fig. 5). For the cells that were released, the relative signals for G-tails increase for both strains in S phase (Fig. 5). From these data, it is clear that mre11 cells display a cell cycle-dependent change in the G-tail signals as wild-type cells do. Throughout the experiment, a significant difference between G-tail signal intensity for wild-type and mre11 strains was observed, suggesting that not only G1-specific G-tails, but also the S-phase-specific G-tails may be shorter in the mutant strain. However, due to the techniques used, such comparisons between cultures are challenging, and it remains uncertain whether this constant difference is real. Nevertheless, these results are consistent with previous data, which suggested that nucleolytic processing of a DNA double-strand break generated at the MAT locus during mating-type switching is inefficient in strains harboring deletions of the RAD50 or XRS2 genes (Ivanov et al. 1994). It is therefore tempting to speculate that the lower levels of the cell cycle-dependent G-tails observed in our synchrony experiments with mre11 cells are due to inefficient processing. Importantly though, the data do show that in the mutant strain, S-phase-dependent long G-tails are generated, suggesting that it is a processing event that probably occurs after DNA replication, which should establish a normal end-structure for the rest of the cell cycle, that is affected in these cells.

). Furthermore, in a telomere formation assay that is based on HO-cutting and exposing a short telomeric repeat tract, the MRX complex was shown to be needed for Cdc13p binding, and hence, G-tail formation. In mre11 cells, telomere formation was delayed, but not completely abolished (Diede and Gottschling 2001). Our results reported here are consistent with the idea that mre11 cells have an altered telomeric end-structure, consisting of shorter G-tails (Figs. 1, 3). However, Cdc13p binding to telomeres appears not to be reduced in mre11 cells (Tsukamoto et al. 2001), which suggests that in vivo, the length requirements for binding of this protein to G-tails may be <11 bases, the minimal length required for binding in vitro (Hughes et al. 2000). Alternatively, there may be a different mode of Cdc13p binding on yeast telomeres with very short overhangs. Taken together, the data suggest that in the absence of the MRX complex, alternative activities establish an altered and shortened G-tail on yeast telomeres. This also suggests that the establishment of such an end-structure and the binding of Cdc13p are essential features for telomere capping.
These suggested roles for the MRX complex in processing yeast telomeres may be conserved in mammals. For example, the functional homolog of the yeast Xrs2p in humans, NBS1, associates transiently with a telomeric complex of hRAD50/hMRE11/TRF2 (Zhu et al. 2000). This association occurs in S phase of the cell cycle, and it has been suggested that the association of NBS1 with hRAD50 and hMRE11 at telomeres either is necessary to prepare the telomeres for replication, or for a post-replicative processing event, such as the generation of appropriate G-tails and/or the formation of t-loops (Zhu et al. 2000). Furthermore, there is evidence for an S-phase-specific regulatory role for the NBS1 protein in maintaining telomeres in the absence of telomerase in human cell lines (Wu et al. 2000). The MRX complex is also involved in intra-S checkpoint signaling (D'Amours and Jackson 2001). On telomeres, the DNA strand replicated by leading-strand synthesis is thought to become a transiently blunt-ended molecule. Such ends may be sensed by this checkpoint, and processing to expose a single-stranded 3' end could be initiated. Therefore, our results raise the possibility that such leading-strand ends may have particular requirements for recognition and processing, which would involve the MRE11 complex in yeast and humans.

Primer extension analysis of G-tails
A total of 0.1 ng of the oligo DUP-16 were boiled for 10 min in PE1 buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl at pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM dithiothreitol) and left to anneal at 23°C for more than 1 h. Chromosomal terminal restriction fragments (TRFs) were gel purified using a QIAquick gel extraction kit (Qiagen). Standard poly(A)-tailing reactions were performed with annealed DUP-16 oligo or gel-purified TRFs (details to be published elsewhere). Radiolabeled poly-T+(C/A) oligo [5'-CGGAATTCC(T)18M-3'; M = C or A] was annealed to these 3'-terminally tailed products in PE1 buffer at 16°C for 16 h. Primer-extension reactions were performed on annealed substrates in PE1 buffer, which also contained 0.325 mM dATP, 0.325 mM dCTP, and 20 µg BSA at 12°C for 20 min. In these conditions, strand displacement occurs on <10% of products (data not shown; Fig. 3). Reactions were stopped and loaded on a 15% polyacrylamide gel.
