Function

RNA chaperone that plays a key role in telomere maintenance and RNA localization to Cajal bodies (PubMed:29695869, PubMed:29804836). Specifically recognizes and binds the Cajal body box (CAB box) present in both small Cajal body RNAs (scaRNAs) and telomerase RNA template component (TERC) (PubMed:19285445, PubMed:20351177, PubMed:29695869, PubMed:29804836). Essential component of the telomerase holoenzyme complex, a ribonucleoprotein complex essential for the replication of chromosome termini that elongates telomeres in most eukaryotes (PubMed:19179534, PubMed:20351177, PubMed:26170453, PubMed:29695869). In the telomerase holoenzyme complex, required to stimulate the catalytic activity of the complex (PubMed:27525486, PubMed:29804836). Acts by specifically binding the CAB box of the TERC RNA and controlling the folding of the CR4/CR5 region of the TERC RNA, a critical step for telomerase activity (PubMed:29804836). In addition, also controls telomerase holoenzyme complex localization to Cajal body (PubMed:22547674). During S phase, required for delivery of TERC to telomeres during S phase and for telomerase activity (PubMed:29804836). In addition to its role in telomere maintenance, also required for Cajal body formation, probably by mediating localization of scaRNAs to Cajal bodies (PubMed:19285445, PubMed:21072240). Also plays a role in DNA repair: phosphorylated by ATM in response to DNA damage and relocalizes to sites of DNA double-strand breaks to promote the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (PubMed:25512560, PubMed:27715493). Acts by recruiting the ubiquitin ligase RNF8 to DNA breaks and promote both homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) (PubMed:25512560, PubMed:27715493).

Activity summary

WDR79 also known as WRAP53 is a protein that assists in the assembly and maintenance of telomerase a ribonucleoprotein complex. It has a mass of approximately 80 kDa. The protein is mainly expressed in the nucleus of cells where it also interacts with components of Cajal bodies. Through these interactions WDR79 aids in the localization and stability of telomerase RNA (TERC) which is critical for telomerase activity. Additionally WDR79 interacts with p53 and acts as a cofactor for some spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs).

Biological function summary

WDR79 has a significant role in RNA processing and telomere maintenance. It is part of various ribonucleoprotein complexes where it serves as a scaffold facilitating RNA-protein interactions. WDR79 plays an essential role in the biogenesis of small Cajal body-specific RNAs (scaRNAs) which modify small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). These modifications are necessary for proper splicing and maturation of pre-mRNA. Besides WDR79 is involved in the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair of double-strand breaks in DNA a critical cellular response to DNA damage.

Pathways

WDR79 is centrally involved in telomere maintenance and RNA splicing pathways. In telomere maintenance it operates closely with the TERT and TERC components of the telomerase complex ensuring proper telomere elongation and genomic stability. In RNA splicing WDR79 interacts with proteins such as coilin which is integral to the organization and function of Cajal bodies where snRNP biogenesis occurs. The role of WDR79 in these pathways highlights its importance in regulating fundamental cellular processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in WDR79 function are linked to cancer and dyskeratosis congenita. Mutations and deregulation of this protein disturb telomere maintenance and cause genomic instability conditions that often lead to cancer development. WDR79 has connections to proteins such as TERT in these pathways which when dysregulated promote oncogenesis. In dyskeratosis congenita impaired telomerase function due to defective WDR79 interactions leads to stem cell failure and tissue degeneration underlining the protein’s importance in tissue maintenance and cellular longevity.
