The maintenance of proper telomeric length by the addition of telomeric repeats by telomerase. [GOC:elh]
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme complex responsible for maintaining the integrity of telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomeres are composed of repetitive DNA sequences that prevent chromosome degradation and fusion. During DNA replication, the lagging strand synthesis mechanism cannot fully replicate the 5' end of the chromosome, leading to a gradual shortening of telomeres with each cell division. Telomerase counteracts this shortening by adding repetitive DNA sequences to the 3' end of the telomere, using its own RNA template as a guide. The process involves the following steps: 1) Binding: Telomerase binds to the 3' end of the telomere. 2) Extension: Telomerase uses its RNA template to synthesize a short DNA sequence, complementary to the telomere repeat, at the 3' end of the telomere. 3) Translocation: Telomerase then translocates to the newly synthesized DNA segment, extending the telomere by another repeat. 4) Repetition: Steps 2 and 3 are repeated several times, adding multiple telomeric repeats to the chromosome end. The activity of telomerase is tightly regulated, ensuring that telomere length is maintained within a specific range. In normal somatic cells, telomerase activity is low, resulting in gradual telomere shortening with age. However, in germ cells and certain stem cells, telomerase activity is high, maintaining telomere length and preventing premature aging. Telomerase plays a crucial role in cellular senescence, aging, and cancer development. Telomere shortening contributes to cellular aging and limits the number of cell divisions. Conversely, dysregulation of telomerase activity, leading to excessive telomere lengthening, can contribute to cancer development by promoting unlimited cell proliferation.'
