Additional Info
Tissue Specificity
Isoform 1 and isoform 2 expressed in thymus, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and testis. High level of inactive isoform 3 in adult hippocampus, low level in heart, cortex and cerebellum.
Post Translational Modifications
Phosphorylation at Tyr-697 under oxidative stress leads to translocation of TERT to the cytoplasm and reduces its antiapoptotic activity. Dephosphorylated by SHP2/PTPN11 leading to nuclear retention. Phosphorylation at the G2/M phase at Ser-447 by DYRK2 promotes ubiquitination by the EDVP complex and degradation. Ubiquitinated by the EDVP complex, a E3 ligase complex following phosphorylation at Ser-447 by DYRK2. Ubiquitinated leads to proteasomal degradation.
Function
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme essential for the replication of chromosome termini in most eukaryotes. Active in progenitor and cancer cells. Inactive, or very low activity, in normal somatic cells. 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. Catalyzes the RNA-dependent extension of 3'-chromosomal termini with the 6-nucleotide telomeric repeat unit, 5'-TTAGGG-3'. The catalytic cycle involves primer binding, primer extension and release of product once the template boundary has been reached or nascent product translocation followed by further extension. More active on substrates containing 2 or 3 telomeric repeats. Telomerase activity is regulated by a number of factors including telomerase complex-associated proteins, chaperones and polypeptide modifiers. Modulates Wnt signaling. Plays important roles in aging and antiapoptosis.
