Inhibition of MRN activity by a telomere protein motif

Telomeres suppress the DNA damage response at chromosome ends. Here the authors show that in budding yeast the activity of the MRX complex in DNA repair and DNA damage signaling is inhibited by telomeric protein Rif2 via a short motif at the N-terminus.
