Disease mutations in the N-terminal extension and α2’-helix of dyskerin do not abolish dimerization but disrupt binding to the telomerase RNA

2025-08-22

Abstract excerpt

The H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex component dyskerin is essential for the biogenesis of H/ACA RNAs, including the human telomerase RNA (hTR). The N-terminal extension and α2’ helix of dyskerin are hotspots for disease-associated mutations linked to X-linked dyskeratosis congenita (X-DC), a premature aging disorder. Some of these mutations disrupt dyskerin–hTR interactions, leading to hTR destabilization and redu...
