摘要

Telomeres are distinct structures, composed of short, repeated sequences, at the ends of all eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomeres have been shown in yeast to induce late replication in S phase and to silence transcription of neighboring genes. To examine the possibility of similar effects in human chromosomes, we studied cells from a subject with a microdeletion of 130 kb at the end of onc copy of chromosome arm 22q, repaired by the addition of telomere repeats. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization of S phase nuclei, a distinct difference was found in the replication timing or the breakpoint region between the intact and truncated copies of chromosome 22. This difference was evident as a shift from middle to late replication time of the breakpoint region adjacent to the repaired telomere. This finding suggests that the human telomere sequence influences activation of adja- cent replication origin(s). The difference in replication timing between the two chromosomes was not associated with differ- ences in sensitivity to digestion by DNase I or with methylation of regions immediately adjacent to the breakpoint. Further- more, both alleles of arylsulfatase A, a gene located at a distance of approximately 54 kb from the breakpoint, were expressed. We conclude that as in yeast, the proximity of telomeric DNA may induce a positional effect that delays the replication of adjacent chromosomal regions in humans.
