Mapping of interaction domains of putative telomere-binding proteins AtTRB1 and AtPOT1b from Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We previously searched for interactions between plant telomere-binding proteins and found that AtTRB1, from the single-myb-histone (Smh) family, interacts with the Arabidopsis POT1-like-protein, AtPOT1b, involved in telomere capping.

The Ku subunit of telomerase binds Sir4 to recruit telomerase to lengthen telomeres in S. cerevisiae

open access: yeseLife, 2015
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in humans, the telomerase RNA subunit is bound by Ku, a ring-shaped protein heterodimer best known for its function in DNA repair. Ku binding to yeast telomerase RNA promotes telomere lengthening and telomerase recruitment

PARP1 Regulates the Biogenesis and Activity of Telomerase Complex Through Modification of H/ACA-Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is established as a key regulator of the cellular DNA damage response and apoptosis. In addition, PARP1 participates in the global regulation of DNA repair, transcription, telomere maintenance, and inflammation ...

A single‐stranded telomere binding protein in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2001
We identified and characterized a protein (STB‐1) from the nuclear extract of Caenorhabditis elegans that specifically binds single‐stranded telomere DNA sequences, but not the corresponding RNA sequences. STB‐1 binding activity is specific to the nematode telomere, but not to the human or plant telomere.

Interaction of yeast Rad51 and Rad52 relieves Rad52-mediated inhibition of de novo telomere addition.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2020
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are toxic forms of DNA damage that must be repaired to maintain genome integrity. Telomerase can act upon a DSB to create a de novo telomere, a process that interferes with normal repair and creates terminal deletions.

Telomere maintenance and the DNA damage response: a paradoxical alliance

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of linear chromosomes of eukaryotic organisms. Telomere binding proteins, including the six components of the complex known as shelterin, mediate the protective function of telomeres.

The Telomere Binding Protein TRF2 Induces Chromatin Compaction

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Mammalian telomeres are specialized chromatin structures that require the telomere binding protein, TRF2, for maintaining chromosome stability. In addition to its ability to modulate DNA repair activities, TRF2 also has direct effects on DNA structure and topology.

G-Quadruplex-Binding Proteins: Promising Targets for Drug Design

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical secondary nucleic acid structures. Sequences with the potential to form G4s are abundant in regulatory regions of the genome including telomeres, promoters and 5′ non-coding regions, indicating they fulfill ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
