The shelterin complex at mammalian telomeres contains the single-stranded DNA-binding protein Pot1, which regulates telomere length and protects chromosome ends. Pot1 binds Tpp1, the shelterin component that connects Pot1 to the duplex telomeric DNA-binding proteins Trf1 and Trf2. Control of telomere length requires that Pot1 binds Tpp1 as well as the single-stranded telomeric DNA, but it is not known whether the protective function of Pot1 depends on Tpp1. Alternatively, Pot1 might function similarly to the Pot1-like proteins of budding and fission yeast, which have no known Tpp1-like connection to the duplex telomeric DNA. Using mutant mouse cells with diminished Tpp1 levels, RNA interference directed to mouse Tpp1 and Pot1, and complementation of mouse Pot1 knockout cells with human and mouse Pot1 variants, we show here that Tpp1 is required for the protective function of mammalian Pot1 proteins.

D000089804 Shelterin Complex A TELOMERE cap complex consisting of telomere-specific proteins in association with telomeric DNA such as telomeric dsDNA-sDNA junction. They are involved in the protection of chromosome ends and TELOMERASE regulation and play a role in CELLULAR SENESCENCE and ageing-related pathology. In general it consists of six mostly TELOMERE-BINDING PROTEINS (POT1, RAP1, TIN2, TPP1, TRF1, and TRF2).

D034622 RNA Interference A gene silencing phenomenon whereby specific dsRNAs (RNA, DOUBLE-STRANDED) trigger the degradation of homologous mRNA (RNA, MESSENGER). The specific dsRNAs are processed into SMALL INTERFERING RNA (siRNA) which serves as a guide for cleavage of the homologous mRNA in the RNA-INDUCED SILENCING COMPLEX. DNA METHYLATION may also be triggered during this process.
