Quantitative telomeric chromatin isolation protocol for human cells

Joachim Lingner, Sophie Redon, Jana Majerská

The ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, known as telomeres, consist of repetitive DNA sequences, multiple proteins and noncoding RNAs. Telomeres are dynamic structures that play crucial roles as guardians of genome stability and tumor suppressors. Defects in t ...

Peroxiredoxin 1 Protects Telomeres from Oxidative Damage and Preserves Telomeric DNA for Extension by Telomerase

Joachim Lingner, Viesturs Simanis, Sophie Redon, Wareed Ahmed, Eric Aeby

Oxidative damage of telomeres can promote cancer, cardiac failure, and muscular dystrophy. Specific mechanisms protecting telomeres from oxidative damage have not been described. We analyzed telomeric chromatin composition during the cell cycle and show th ...

A three-state model for the regulation of telomerase by TERRA and hnRNPA1

Joachim Lingner, Sophie Redon, Ivo Zemp

Telomeres, the physical ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, are transcribed into telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA), a large non-coding RNA, which forms an integral part of telomeric heterochromatin. In vitro, naked TERRA molecules are efficient inhibitor ...

The human CST complex is a terminator of telomerase activity

Joachim Lingner, Sophie Redon, Liuh-Yow Chen

The lengths of human telomeres, which protect chromosome ends from degradation and end fusions(1,2), are crucial determinants of cell lifespan(3). During embryogenesis and in cancer, the telomerase enzyme counteracts telomeric DNA shortening. As shown in c ...

The Rat1p 5’ to 3’ exonuclease degrades telomeric repeat-containing RNA and promotes telomere elongation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Joachim Lingner, Sophie Redon, Andrea Bernardo Panza, Nahid Iglesias

Vertebrate telomeres are transcribed into telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) that associates with telomeres and may be important for telomere function. Here, we demonstrate that telomeres are also transcribed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by RNA polymer ...

Protein-RNA and protein-protein interactions mediate association of human EST1A/SMG6 with telomerase

Joachim Lingner, Sophie Redon

The human EST1A/SMG6 polypeptide physically interacts with the chromosome end replication enzyme telomerase. In an attempt to better understand hEST1A function, we have started to dissect the molecular interactions between hEST1A and telomerase. Here, we d ...
