Abstract

The heterodimeric Ku complex has been shown to participate in DNA repair and telomere regulation in a variety of organisms. Here we report a detailed characterization of the function of Ku70 in the diploid fungal pathogen Candida albicans by anslysis of ku70 heterozygous and homozygous deletion mutants and their reconstituted strains, and its role in telomere maintenance.
