The telomeres protect chromosome ends from fusion and degradation. In the absence of a specific telomere elongation mechanism, their DNA progressively shortens with every round of replication leading to replicative senescence. Here, we show that telomerase-deficient cells bearing a single very short telomere senesce earlier, demonstrating that length of the shortest telomere is a major determinant of the onset of senescence. We further show that Mec1p/ATR recognises specifically the single very short telomere causing the accelerated senescence. Strikingly, before entry into senescence, cells divide for some generations despite a complete erosion of their shortened telomeres. This pre-senescence growth requires RAD52 and MMS1 and there is no evidence for major inter-telomeric recombination. We propose that, in the absence of telomerase, a very short telomere is first maintained in a pre-signalling state by a RAD52/MMS1 dependent pathway and then switches to a signalling state leading to senescence through a Mec1p-dependent checkpoint.
