Telomere Biology: A New Player in the End Zone
نویسندگان
چکیده
Yet another protein has been added to the crowd of players found at the ends of chromosomes. Known variously as PTOP, PIP1 or TINT1, this negative regulator of telomere length connects some of the key proteins already known to be present - TRF1, TIN2, POT1, and TRF2 - and adds even more complexity to telomere protein interactions.

متن کاملP-86: Evaluation of Telomere Length, Telomerase and Telomeric Repeat Containing RNA (TERRA) Expression Levels in Cumulus Cells of PCOS Patients
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the reasons of infertility in women with chronic anovulation. Ovulation process is tightly regulated by molecular mechanisms controlling proliferation/differentiation of cells. Telomeres, TTAGGG tandem repeats, are transcribed into a non coding RNA, named TERRA. Recent studies suggest that TERRA sustain several important functions at chromos...
متن کاملEffects of Aerobic Training Combined with Green Tea Extract on Leukocyte Telomere Length, Quality of Life and Body Composition in Elderly Women
Background: Exercise and consumption of green tea affect the aging process. However, the effect of exercise training combined with green tea extract on leukocyte telomere length, quality of life (QoL) and body composition in aging has so far been unclear and inconsistent. Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of aerobic training intervention and green tea e...
متن کاملThe effect of high intensity interval training on telomere length and telomerase activity in non-athlete young men
Introduction: Telomeres are DNA portions that are located on the two ends of the chromosome. Telomeres play an important role in cellular life. Exercise is one of the factors that contributes to their control. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on telomere length and telomerase activity in non-athletic young men. ...
متن کاملHealthy aging and disease: role for telomere biology?
Aging is a biological process that affects most cells, organisms and species. Human aging is associated with increased susceptibility to a variety of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, neurological diseases and cancer. Despite the remarkable progress made during the last two decades, our understanding of the biology of aging remains incomplete. Telomere biology...
