Taming active transposons at Drosophila telomeres: The interconnection between HipHop's roles in capping and transcriptional silencing.
Drosophila chromosomes are elongated by retrotransposon attachment, a process poorly understood. Here we characterized a mutation affecting the HipHop telomere-capping protein. In mutant ovaries and the embryos that they produce, telomere retrotransposons are activated and transposon RNP accumulates...
