端粒酶是一种逆转录酶,专门将端粒DNA重复序列添加到染色体末端。端粒延伸弥补了DNA聚合酶不能完全复制线性染色体末端而造成的端粒重复序列的丢失。端粒酶作为一种核糖核蛋白发挥作用,除了催化端粒酶逆转录酶(TERT)外,还需要一个完整的端粒酶RNA(TR)组分。广泛的研究已经确定了TR和TERT内对活性至关重要的许多结构和功能特征。许多辅助蛋白也被鉴定出在酶的生物发生、定位和调节中具有各种功能。了解端粒酶功能的分子机制对于端粒介导的疾病和癌症的治疗具有重要意义。本文就端粒酶的结构和功能特点以及端粒酶功能障碍的检测技术作一综述。
Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase specialized in the addition of telomeric DNA repeats onto the ends of chromosomes. Telomere extension offsets the loss of telomeric repeats from the failure of DNA polymerases to fully replicate linear chromosome ends. Telomerase functions as a ribonucleoprotein, requiring an integral telomerase RNA (TR) component, in addition to the catalytic telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). Extensive studies have identified numerous structural and functional features within the TR and TERT essential for activity. A number of accessory proteins have also been identified with various functions in enzyme biogenesis, localization, and regulation. Understanding the molecular mechanism of telomerase function has significance for the development of therapies for telomere-mediated disorders and cancer. Here we review telomerase structural and functional features, and the techniques for assessing telomerase dysfunction.
