Telomeres are DNA repeats at the ends of linear chromosomes and are replicated by telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein reverse transcriptase. Telomere length regulation and chromosome end capping are essential for genome stability and are mediated primarily by the shelterin and CST complexes. POT1-TPP1, a subunit of shelterin, binds the telomeric overhang, suppresses ATR-dependent DNA damage response, and recruits telomerase to telomeres for DNA replication. POT1 localization to telomeres and chromosome end protection requires its interaction with TPP1. Therefore, the POT1-TPP1 complex is critical to telomere maintenance and full telomerase processivity. The aim of this mini-review is to summarize recent POT1-TPP1 structural studies and discuss how the complex contributes to telomere length regulation. In addition, we review how disruption of POT1-TPP1 function leads to human disease.
端粒是线性染色体末端的DNA重复序列,由端粒酶(一种核糖核蛋白逆转录酶)进行复制。端粒长度调控和染色体末端封端对于基因组稳定性至关重要,主要由 shelterin 和 CST 复合体介导。POT1-TPP1 是 shelterin 的一个亚基,它结合端粒突出端,抑制 ATR 依赖的DNA损伤反应,并将端粒酶招募到端粒进行DNA复制。POT1 定位于端粒和染色体末端保护需要其与 TPP1 相互作用。因此,POT1-TPP1 复合体对于端粒维持和完整的端粒酶持续合成能力至关重要。本综述的目的是总结近期关于 POT1-TPP1 的结构研究,并讨论该复合体如何有助于端粒长度调控。此外,我们还综述了 POT1-TPP1 功能的破坏如何导致人类疾病。
