26462146 | Ber8 could then induce the delocalization of TRF1 and POT1 from the telomere accompanied by a rapid telomere uncapping |
26345860 | Based on the established cell replicative senescence model, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses were used to detect telomere-associated factor expression at the mRNA and protein levels, including that of human telomere binding protein 1, tankyrase 1, telomerase RNA, telomere protection protein 1 (POT1), and p53 during the process of human embryonic lung fibroblast replicative senescence |
26345860 | The results showed that transcription of human telomere binding protein 1 did not change with cell senescence, whereas the protein expression of human telomere binding protein 1 increased gradually and then decreased rapidly; there was no change in the mRNA and protein expression of POT1; with the replicative senescence of human embryonic lung fibroblasts, expression of POT1 decreased gradually; TRF1 showed an increasing trend with cell senescence; and p53 protein expression did not change |
26345860 | Together, the results from this study suggest that human telomere binding protein 1, POT1, and TRF1 played important roles in cell senescence |
23514618 | Gene array qPCR analysis of MIA PaCa-2 cells treated with the lead compound revealed significant dose-dependent modulation of a distinct subset of genes, including strong induction of DNA damage responsive genes CDKN1A, DDIT3, GADD45A/G, and PPM1D, and repression of genes involved in telomere maintenance, including hPOT1 and PARP1 |
19067655 | We have tested this hypothesis in a cohort of preimplantation human renal allograft biopsies ( n = 75) that have been assayed by real-time polymerase chain reaction for the expression of known markers of cellular damage and biological aging, including CDKN2A, CDKN1A, SIRT2 and POT1 |
19067655 | POT1 expression also showed a significant association with this parameter ( p = 0 |
18778766 | Together, our results show that short G-rich single-stranded oligonucleotides induce telomere uncapping in a cell cycle-dependent manner, probably by titrating essential factors like Pot1 away from telomeres |
18089797 | Functional diversity of human protection of telomeres 1 isoforms in telomere protection and cellular senescence |
18089797 | Protection of telomeres 1 (POT1) proteins in various organisms bind telomeres and regulate their structure and function |
18089797 | In contrast to mice carrying two distinct POT1 genes encoding two POT1 proteins (POT1a and POT1b), humans have the single POT1 gene |
18089797 | In addition to full-length POT1 protein (variant v1), the human POT1 gene encodes four other variants due to alternative RNA splicing (variants v2, v3, v4, and v5), whose functions are poorly understood |
18089797 | The functional analyses of the NH(2)-terminally and COOH-terminally truncated POT1 variants in this study showed that neither the single-stranded telomere-binding ability of the NH(2)-terminal oligonucleotide-binding (OB) folds nor the telomerase-dependent telomere elongation activity mediated by the COOH-terminal TPP1-interacting domain was telomere protective by itself |
18089797 | This study highlights a human-specific complexity in telomere protection and damage signaling conferred by functionally distinct isoforms from the single POT1 gene |
17284852 | To understand the telomere regulation mechanism in relation to cell aging and cancer, we examined the single-stranded telomeric DNA binding domain (ssDBD) of fission yeast telomere-binding protein Pot1 by constructing a series of deletion mutants |
15000677 | Chromosome telomeres of humans and many model organisms contain a structure called a t-loop, which is maintained by TERF, TINF2, Pot1, and other proteins |
