Megasatellites: a new class of large tandem repeats discovered in the pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata
Abstract : Megasatellites are DNA tandem arrays made of large motifs, that were discovered in the yeast
Candida glabrata. They are widespread in this species (40 copies) but are not found in any
other hemiascomycete so far, raising the intriguing question of their very origin. They are
found mainly in genes encoding cell wall products, suggesting that megasatellites were
selected for a function linked to cell-cell adhesion or to pathogenicity. Their putative role in
promoting genome rearrangements by interfering with DNA replication will also be
discussed.
