Sir3 helps telomeres stick together

Mutant phagosomes bite off more than they can chew A kbar et al. reveal that the fl y homologue of a gene mutated in human disease encodes a protein required for phagosome matura-tion and digestion of pathogens. The HOPS complex is a multi-subunit tethering factor that regulates vacuole fusion in budding yeast. Metazoans express two versions of the HOPS subunits Vps16p and Vps33p. Vps16A and Vp...
