Yeast monitor, or count, the number of telomeric Rap1p C termini in a negative feedback mechanism to modulate the length of the terminal TG <jats:sub>1-3</jats:sub> repeats, and synthetic telomeres that tether Rap1p molecules adjacent to the TG <jats:sub>1-3</jats:sub> tract cause wild-type cells to maintain a shorter TG <jats:sub>1-3</jats:sub> tract. To identify trans-acting proteins required to count Rap1p molecules, these same synthetic telomeres were placed in two short telomere mutants: <jats:italic>yku70Δ</jats:italic> (which lack the yeast Ku70 protein) and <jats:italic>tel1Δ</jats:italic> (which lack the yeast ortholog of ATM).

This distinct response to internal Rap1p molecules was not caused by a variation in Rap1p site density in the TG <jats:sub>1-3</jats:sub> repeats as sequencing of <jats:italic>tel1Δ</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>yku70Δ</jats:italic> telomeres showed that both strains have only five to six Rap1p sites per 100-bp telomere. In addition, the <jats:italic>tel1Δ</jats:italic> short telomere phenotype was epistatic to the unregulated telomere length caused by deletion of the Rap1p C-terminal domain. Thus, the length of the TG <jats:sub>1-3</jats:sub> repeats in <jats:italic>tel1Δ</jats:italic> cells was independent of the number of the Rap1p C termini at the telomere.
