Telomere Replication: An Est Fest
نویسنده
چکیده
The search for subunits of the telomerase enzyme has uncovered orthologs of the budding years Est1 protein in several species, including humans. Thus, positive regulation of telomerase by Est1 appears to be a widely utilized mechanism for maintaining telomere length homeostasis.

Telomere Replication Identify Three Additional EST Genes
The primary determinant for telomere replication is the enzyme telomerase, responsible for elongating the Grich strand of the telomere. The only component of this enzyme that has been identified in Saccharomyces cermzsiae is the TLCl gene, encoding the telomerase RNA subunit. However, a yeast strain defective for the ESTl gene exhibits the same phenotypes (progressively shorter telomeres and a ...

EST1, EST2, EST3 and TLC1 function in a single pathway for telomere replication in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [1] [2], as would be expected if these genes all encode components of the same complex. Est2p, the reverse transcriptase protein subunit, and TLC1, the templating RNA, are subunits of the catalytic core of yeast telomerase [3] [4] [5]. In contrast, mutations in EST1, EST3 or CDC...

Background & objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are presently isolated from various human tissues such as bone marrow. These cells have relatively high replication potential and can differentiate into various cell lineages with mesodermal and non-mesodermal origin and therefore, show promising in treatment of diseases. Their striking features like availability of source, ease of isolation...

3798 Cell Cycle Volume 10 issue 21 Telomeres, the physical ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes, are bound by proteins that protect chromosome ends from being recognized as DNA doublestranded breaks. Telomeres shorten due to incomplete DNA replication and nucleolytic degradation. This shortening is counteracted by a specialized reverse transcriptase called telomerase. In the budding yeast Sacc...
متن کاملEarly Replication of Short Telomeres in Budding Yeast
The maintenance of an appropriate number of telomere repeats by telomerase is essential for proper chromosome protection. The action of telomerase at the telomere terminus is regulated by opposing activities that either recruit/activate the enzyme at shorter telomeres or inhibit it at longer ones, thus achieving a stable average telomere length. To elucidate the mechanistic details of telomeras...
