General annotation (Comments)

Function

Component of the telomerase ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex that is essential for the replication of chromosome termini. May have a general role in telomere regulation. Promotes in vitro the ability of TERT to elongate telomeres. Overexpression induces telomere uncapping, chromosomal end-to-end fusions (telomeric DNA persists at the fusion points) and did not perturb TRF2 telomeric localization. Binds to the single-stranded 5'-(GTGTGG)4GTGT-3' telomeric DNA, but not to a telomerase RNA template component (TER). Ref.1 Ref.5 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.14

Plays a role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Is thought to provide a link to the mRNA degradation machinery as it has endonuclease activity required to initiate NMD, and to serve as an adapter for UPF1 to protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), thereby triggering UPF1 dephosphorylation. Degrades single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), but not ssDNA or dsRNA. Ref.1 Ref.5 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.14

Cofactor

Manganese. Ref.14

Subunit structure

Component of the telomerase holoenzyme complex at least composed of TERT, DKC1, WRAP53/TCAB1, NOP10, NHP2, GAR1, TEP1, EST1A, POT1 and a telomerase RNA template component (TERC). Interacts with TERT, independently of the telomerase RNA. Interacts with PP2A catalytic subunits, SMG1, UPF1, UPF2 and UPF3B. Ref.1 Ref.5 Ref.7 Ref.10 Ref.12

Subcellular location

Nucleusnucleolus. Chromosometelomere Probable. Cytoplasmcytosol. Note: Particularly enriched in the nucleolus. Ref.1 Ref.10

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitous. Ref.1 Ref.5

Domain

The PINc domain confers endonuclease activity and is expected to bind the catalytic metal ion. Ref.9 Ref.10

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 PINc domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAH64916.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally extended.

The sequence BAA34452.2 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally shortened.
