Tetrahymena telomerase holoenzyme subunits p75, p45 and p19 form a subcomplex (7-4-1) peripheral to the catalytic core. We report structures of p45 and p19 and reveal them as the Stn1 and Ten1 subunits of the CST complex, which stimulates telomerase complementary-strand synthesis. 7-4-1 binds telomeric single-stranded DNA, and mutant p19 overexpression causes telomere 3'-overhang elongation. We propose that telomerase-tethered Tetrahymena CST coordinates telomere G-strand and C-strand synthesis.
嗜热四膜虫端粒酶全酶亚基p75、p45和p19形成一个位于催化核心外围的亚复合物(7-4-1)。我们报道了p45和p19的结构,并揭示它们是CST复合物的Stn1和Ten1亚基,该复合物可刺激端粒酶互补链的合成。7-4-1结合端粒单链DNA,突变型p19的过表达导致端粒3'端悬突延长。我们提出,与端粒酶相连的嗜热四膜虫CST可协调端粒G链和C链的合成。
