De novo telomere addition at chromosome breaks: Dangerous Liaisons
Telomerase counteracts the loss of terminal DNA sequences from chromosome ends; however, it may erroneously add telomeric repeats to DNA double-strand breaks. In this issue, Ouenzar et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201610071) uncover cell cycle-dependent sequestration of the telomerase RNA in nucleoli, a process that excludes telomerase from DNA repair sites.
متن کاملDevelopmentally regulated telomere addition in Tetrahymena thermophila.
To investigate the developmentally programmed telomere addition that accompanies chromosome fragmentation during macronuclear differentiation in Tetrahymena thermophila, five representative telomeric regions from the macronucleus were cloned and characterized in detail. The sequences adjacent to the telomeric (C4A2:T2G4) repeats on these five macronuclear ends had no significant sequence homolo...
متن کاملDevelopmentally regulated initiation of DNA synthesis by telomerase: evidence for factor-assisted de novo telomere formation.
Telomerase serves a dual role at telomeres, maintaining tracts of telomere repeats and forming telomeres de novo on broken chromosomes in a process called chromosome healing. In ciliates, both mechanisms are readily observed. Vegetatively growing cells maintain pre-existing telomeres, while cells undergoing macronuclear development fragment their chromosomes and form telomeres de novo. Here we ...
متن کاملHealing of euchromatic chromosome breaks by efficient de novo telomere addition in Drosophila melanogaster.
Previously, we observed that heterochromatic 4 and Y chromosomes that had experienced breakage in the male germline were frequently transmitted to progeny. Their behavior suggested that they carried functional telomeres. Here we show that efficient healing by de novo telomere addition is not unique to heterochromatic breaks.
متن کاملDe novo telomere addition to spacer sequences prior to their developmental degradation in Euplotes crassus.
During sexual reproduction, Euplotes crassus precisely fragments its micronuclear chromosomes and synthesizes new telomeres onto the resulting DNA ends to generate functional macronuclear minichromosomes. In the micronuclear chromosomes, the macronuclear-destined sequences are typically separated from each other by spacer DNA segments, which are eliminated following chromosome fragmentation. Re...
