Cell cycle-dependent modification of Pot1 and its effects on telomere function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Telomere functions are tightly controlled throughout the cell cycle to allow telomerase access while suppressing a bona fide DNA damage response (DDR) at linear chromosome ends.

Epigenetic telomere protection by Drosophila DNA damage response pathways. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2006
Analysis of terminal deletion chromosomes indicates that a sequence-independent mechanism regulates protection of Drosophila telomeres. Mutations in Drosophila DNA damage response genes such as atm/tefu, mre11, or rad50 disrupt telomere protection and ...

NONO, SFPQ, and PSPC1 promote telomerase recruitment to the telomere

open access: yesNature Communications
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that maintains telomeric repeats on chromosome ends in continuously dividing cells. Telomere maintenance via telomerase is dependent on the correct assembly of the enzyme complex, complex stabilization by ...

Telomere Length Abnormality: Investigating Approaches and Correlations with Cancer, Bone Marrow Failure and Hematological Malignancies

open access: yesBiomedicines
Proper telomere maintenance is crucial for ensuring healthy cellular function. Telomeres have a tendency to reduce in length with cellular aging. Moreover several factors may promote telomere attrition.

The Presence of Telomere Fusion in Sporadic Colon Cancer Independently of Disease Stage, TP53/KRAS Mutation Status, Mean Telomere Length, and Telomerase Activity

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2014
Defects in telomere maintenance can result in telomere fusions that likely play a causative role in carcinogenesis by promoting genomic instability. However, this proposition remains to be fully understood in human colon carcinogenesis.

Telomeres and disease [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 2009
The telomeres of most eukaryotes are characterized by guanine-rich repeats synthesized by the reverse transcriptase telomerase. Complete loss of telomerase is tolerated for several generations in most species, but modestly reduced telomerase levels in human beings are implicated in bone marrow failure, pulmonary fibrosis and a spectrum of other ...

Telomere length and incident atrial fibrillation - data of the PREVEND cohort.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundThe incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increases with age. Telomere length is considered a marker of biological ageing. We investigated the association between leukocyte telomere length and incident AF in the Dutch Prevention of Renal and ...

hnRNPA2 mediated acetylation reduces telomere length in response to mitochondrial dysfunction.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Telomeres protect against chromosomal damage. Accelerated telomere loss has been associated with premature aging syndromes such as Werner's syndrome and Dyskeratosis Congenita, while, progressive telomere loss activates a DNA damage response leading to ...

Exercise, Telomeres, and Cancer: “The Exercise-Telomere Hypothesis” [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Telomeres are genomic complex at the end of chromosomes that protects the DNA and telomere length (TL) is related to several age-related diseases, lifespan, and cancer. On the other hand, cancer is a multifactorial disease that is responsible for reduce the quality of life and kills millions of people every year. Both, shorter TL and cancer are related
