The Role of the Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase Tankyrase1 in Telomere Length Control by the TRF1 Component of the Shelterin Complex
9 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Tankyrase1 is a multifunctional poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase that can localize to telomeres through its interaction with the shelterin component TRF1. Tankyrase1 poly(ADP-ribosyl)ates TRF1 in vitro, and its nuclear overexpression leads to loss of TRF1 and telomere elongation, suggesting that tankyrase1 is a positive regulator of telomere length. In agreement with this proposal, we show that tankyrase1 RNA...
