telomerase reverse transcriptase isoform 1 [Mus musculus]

Protein Classification

telomerase reverse transcriptase( domain architecture ID 10572207)

telomerase reverse transcriptase is the catalytic component of the teleromerase holoenzyme complex whose main activity is the elongation of telomeres by acting as a reverse transcriptase that adds simple sequence repeats to chromosome ends by copying a template sequence within the RNA component of the enzyme

 450-582 7.89e-59

Telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex - RNA binding domain; Telomeres in most organizms are comprised of tandem simple sequence repeats. The total length of telomeric repeat sequence at each chromosome end is determined in a balance of sequence loss and sequence addition. One major influence on telomere length is the enzyme telomerase. It is a reverse transcriptase that adds these simple sequence repeats to chromosome ends by copying a template sequence within the RNA component of the enzyme. The RNA binding domain of telomerase - TRBD - is made up of twelve alpha helices and two short beta sheets. How telomerase and associated regulatory factors physically interact and function with each other to maintain appropriate telomere length is poorly understood. It is known however that TRBD is involved in formation of the holoenzyme (which performs the telomere extension) in addition to recognition and binding of RNA.

TERT: Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) that synthesizes telomeric DNA repeats. The telomerase RNA subunit provides the template for synthesis of these repeats. The catalytic subunit of RNP is known as telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). The reverse transcriptase (RT) domain is located in the C-terminal region of the TERT polypeptide. Single amino acid substitutions in this region lead to telomere shortening and senescence. Telomerase is an enzyme that, in certain cells, maintains the physical ends of chromosomes (telomeres) during replication. In somatic cells, replication of the lagging strand requires the continual presence of an RNA primer approximately 200 nucleotides upstream, which is complementary to the template strand. Since there is a region of DNA less than 200 base pairs from the end of the chromosome where this is not possible, the chromosome is continually shortened. However, a surplus of repetitive DNA at the chromosome ends protects against the erosion of gene-encoding DNA. Telomerase is not normally expressed in somatic cells. It has been suggested that exogenous TERT may extend the lifespan of, or even immortalize, the cell. However, recent studies have shown that telomerase activity can be induced by a number of oncogenes. Conversely, the oncogene c-myc can be activated in human TERT immortalized cells. Sequence comparisons place the telomerase proteins in the RT family but reveal hallmarks that distinguish them from retroviral and retrotransposon relatives.

RT_Bac_retron_I: Reverse transcriptases (RTs) in bacterial retrotransposons or retrons. The polymerase reaction of this enzyme leads to the production of a unique RNA-DNA complex called msDNA (multicopy single-stranded (ss)DNA) in which a small ssDNA branches out from a small ssRNA molecule via a 2'-5'phosphodiester linkage. Bacterial retron RTs produce cDNA corresponding to only a small portion of the retron genome.
