In addition, other studies have revealed a functional role for checkpoint Rad proteins in telomere maintenance [ 43 44 ] , while one has shown that an over-expressed, epitope tagged version of Rad3 associates with telomeric DNA [ 44 ] . It will be interesting to determine if checkpoint proteins have a role in centromere function, or mating-type silencing, both of which require intact heterochromatic structures.
First, the Rad26-GFP dots were resistant to an extraction method that was developed to specifically-preserve the localization of chromatin-binding proteins [ 42 ] . Secondly, we discovered that the rad26Δ strain is sensitive to TBZ, a phenotype common to mutants that disrupt centromeric-heterochromatin [ 45 ] . Finally, fission yeast has a relatively small number of heterochromatic regions (3 centromeres, 6 telomeres, and 1 mating-type locus; [ 53 54 ] ) and the number of Rad26-GFP dots we observe is roughly consistent with localization to these regions.
