DNAs encoding polypeptides which cleave telomeric repeats are successfully isolated form a retrotransposon-like sequences present in the telomeric repeats of genomic DNA. The polypeptides encoded by the above DNAs show an activity of cleaving telomeric repeats of insects and vertebrates. Thus, polypeptides cleaving telomeric repeats, DNAs encoding these polypeptides and the production and use thereof are provided. These polypeptides are usable in specifically cleaving telomeric repeats. Moreover, these polypeptides are applicable to the control of cell aging and treatment of cancer.

L'invention concerne des ADN codant des polypeptides qui coupent des répétitions télomériques, qui sont isolés avec succès de séquences analogues à un rétrotransposon présentes dans les répétitions télomériques d'ADN génomique. Les polypeptides codés par ces ADN montrent une activité de clivage de répétitions télomériques d'insectes et de vertébrés. L'invention concerne donc des polypeptides coupant des répétions télomériques, des ADN codant ces polypeptides, ainsi que leur production et utilisation. Ces polypeptides servent spécifiquement au clivage de répétitions télomériques. De plus, on peut les appliquer dans la lutte contre le vieillissement des cellules et pour le traitement du cancer.
