Telomeric DNA at eukaryotic chromosome ends terminates with single stranded 3' G-rich overhangs. The overhang is generated by the interplay of several dynamic processes including semiconservative DNA replication, 3' end elongation by telomerase, C-strand f ...
Telomerase contains a large RNA subunit, TER, and a protein catalytic subunit, TERT. Whether telomerase functions as a monomer or dimer has been a matter of debate. Here we report biochemical and labeling data that show that in vivo-assembled human telomer ...
Telomeres are the DNA/RNA/protein structures at the end of linear eukaryotic chromosomes, which protect them against the DNA damage repair machinery, preventing chromosome end-to-end fusions and aberrant recombination. Moreover, telomeres compensate for th ...
Telomere maintenance by the conventional DNA replication machinery and telomerase is assisted by specialized DNA helicases, nucleases and telomere binding proteins. Here, we identify the THO components at telomeres and define critical roles of this complex ...
Telomeres are the physical ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. They protect chromosome ends from DNA degradation, recombination, and DNA end fusions, and they are important for nuclear architecture. Telomeres provide a mechanism for their replication by semico ...

Telomerase is responsible for the immortal phenotype of cancer cells and telomerase inhibition may specifically target cancer cell proliferation. Ligands able to selectively bind to G-quadruplex telomeric DNA have been considered as telomerase inhibitors b ...
Human RNA polymerase (Pol) III-transcribed genes are thought to share a simple termination signal constituted by four or more consecutive thymidine residues in the coding DNA strand, just downstream of the RNA 3'-end sequence. We found that a large set of ...
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 long noncoding telomeric repeat containing RNA (TERRA) is expressed at chromosome ends. TERRA upregulation upon experimental manipulation or in ICF (immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, facial anomalies) patients correlates with short telomeres. ...
Recruitment to telomeres is a pivotal step in the function and regulation of human telomerase. Impaired telomerase function can lead to premature organismal aging, development of cancer and multisystem disorders such as dyskeratosis congenita. Telomerase a ...
