telomerase holoenzyme complex assembly
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a telomerase holoenzyme complex. [GO_REF:0000079, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:26305931]
Telomerase holoenzyme complex assembly is a highly regulated process essential for maintaining the integrity of eukaryotic chromosomes. The complex is composed of two core components: the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and the telomerase RNA component (TERC). TERT possesses catalytic activity, synthesizing DNA repeats at chromosome ends, while TERC serves as a template for this synthesis.
The assembly of the holoenzyme complex is initiated by the association of TERC with dyskerin, a protein involved in RNA processing and stability. This interaction stabilizes TERC and facilitates its binding to TERT. The association of TERT with TERC is further stabilized by the binding of other accessory proteins, including NHP2, NOP10, and GAR1. These proteins contribute to the proper folding and localization of the complex within the nucleus.
The interaction between TERC and TERT is crucial for the catalytic activity of the holoenzyme. TERC provides the template for DNA synthesis, while TERT utilizes this template to extend the 3' ends of chromosomes. The assembly process involves precise interactions between these components, ensuring the correct positioning of TERC and TERT for efficient and accurate telomere extension.
Furthermore, the assembly of the telomerase holoenzyme is regulated by various factors, including cell cycle stage, cellular stress, and the presence of specific protein modifications. The complex can be assembled and disassembled in response to these factors, ensuring that telomere extension occurs only when necessary.
In summary, the assembly of the telomerase holoenzyme complex is a complex and tightly regulated process. The interaction of TERC with dyskerin, followed by the association of TERT and other accessory proteins, leads to the formation of a functional complex. This process is crucial for maintaining the stability and integrity of chromosomes, contributing to genomic stability and cellular longevity.'
