Trypanosoma brucei UMSBP2 is a single-stranded telomeric DNA binding protein essential for chromosome end protection

Galina Glousker

Universal minicircle sequence binding proteins (UMSBPs) are CCHC-type zinc-finger proteins that bind a single-stranded G-rich sequence, UMS, conserved at the replication origins of the mitochondrial (kinetoplast) DNA of trypanosomatids. Here, we report tha ...

The telomeric DNA damage response occurs in the absence of chromatin decompaction

Joachim Lingner, Suliana Manley, Verena Pfeiffer, Aleksandra Vancevska, Kyle Michael Douglass

Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures that protect chromosome ends from DNA damage response (DDR) and DNA rearrangements. The telomeric shelterin protein TRF2 suppresses the DDR, and this function has been attributed to its abilities to trigge ...

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 ...

Tandem affinity purification of AtTERT reveals putative interaction partners of plant telomerase in vivo

Jana Majerská

The life cycle of telomerase involves dynamic and complex interactions between proteins within multiple macromolecular networks. Elucidation of these associations is a key to understanding the regulation of telomerase under diverse physiological and pathol ...

A practical qPCR approach to detect TERRA, the elusive telomeric repeat-containing RNA

Joachim Lingner, Marianna Feretzaki

Telomeres, the heterochromatic structures that protect the ends of the chromosomes, are transcribed into a class of long non-coding RNAs, telomeric repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA), whose transcriptional regulation and functions are not well understood. The ...

TRF2-Mediated Control of Telomere DNA Topology as a Mechanism for Chromosome-End Protection

Eric Aeby, Jing Ye, Bei Pei

The shelterin proteins protect telomeres against activation of the DNA damage checkpoints and recombinational repair. We show here that a dimer of the shelterin subunit TRF2 wraps similar to 90 bp of DNA through several lysine and arginine residues localiz ...

On-chip microfluidic biocommunication assay for studying male-induced demise in C. elegans hermaphrodites

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Li Dong

Like other animals, C. elegans nematodes have the ability to socially interact and to communicate through exchange and sensing of small soluble signaling compounds that help them cope with complex environmental conditions. For the time being, worm biocommu ...

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 ...

NAD+ repletion improves mitochondrial and stem cell function and enhances life span in mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Matthias Lütolf, Davide D'Amico, Dongryeol Ryu, Xu Wang, Hongbo Zhang, Peiling Luan, Keir Joe Menzies, Karim Laurent Gariani, Ruedi Aebersold

Adult stem cells (SCs) are essential for tissue maintenance and regeneration yet are susceptible to senescence during aging. We demonstrate the importance of the amount of the oxidized form of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) and its imp ...

No DDRama at chromosome ends: TRF2 takes centre stage

Antonio Porro, Liuh-Yow Chen, Sascha Feuerhahn

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures capping the natural termini of eukaryotic linear chromosomes. Telomeres possess an inherent ability to circumvent the activation of a full-blown DNA damage response (DDR), and hence fusion reactions, by limiting inapp ...

Telomere functions grounding on TERRA firma

Joachim Lingner

Long noncoding telomeric repeat-containing RNAs TERRAs - are transcribed in a regulated manner from telomeres throughout eukaryotes. TERRA molecules consist of chromosome end-specific subtelomeric sequences and telomeric repeats at their 3' ends. Recent wo ...
