Biological function summary
TERT plays an important role in maintaining telomere length essential for protecting chromosome stability. The protein forms part of the telomerase holoenzyme complex working together with TERC to perform its function. Telomerase activity allows cells to bypass the Hayflick limit preventing senescence and enhancing replication potential. In addition to telomere maintenance TERT influences gene regulation and cellular proliferation.
Pathways
TERT holds significance in the telomere maintenance and signaling pathways. Telomere maintenance ensures genomic integrity and cellular longevity a process fundamental for tissue homeostasis and regeneration. TERT interacts with proteins such as dyskerin and TERC within these pathways. Its regulatory roles in these pathways also reveal interactions with other key proteins like hypothesized targets in the DNA damage response.

General info
Function
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme essential for the replication of chromosome termini in most eukaryotes. Active in progenitor and cancer cells. Inactive, or very low activity, in normal somatic cells. Catalytic component of the teleromerase holoenzyme complex whose main activity is the elongation of telomeres by acting as a reverse transcriptase that adds simple sequence repeats to chromosome ends by copying a template sequence within the RNA component of the enzyme. Catalyzes the RNA-dependent extension of 3'-chromosomal termini with the 6-nucleotide telomeric repeat unit, 5'-TTAGGG-3'. The catalytic cycle involves primer binding, primer extension and release of product once the template boundary has been reached or nascent product translocation followed by further extension. More active on substrates containing 2 or 3 telomeric repeats. Telomerase activity is regulated by a number of factors including telomerase complex-associated proteins, chaperones and polypeptide modifiers. Modulates Wnt signaling. Plays important roles in aging and antiapoptosis (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the reverse transcriptase family. Telomerase subfamily.
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylation at Tyr-697 under oxidative stress leads to translocation of TERT to the cytoplasm and reduces its antiapoptotic activity. Dephosphorylated by SHP2/PTPN11 leading to nuclear retention. Phosphorylation by the AKT pathway promotes nuclear location. Phosphorylation at the G2/M phase at Ser-447 by DYRK2 promotes ubiquitination by the EDVP complex and degradation (By similarity).. Ubiquitinated by the EDVP complex, a E3 ligase complex following phosphorylation at Ser-447 by DYRK2. Ubiquitinated leads to proteasomal degradation (By similarity).
