Telomerase is an essential ribonucleoprotein enzyme that copies new telomeric repeats onto chromosome ends by repetitively synthesizing the short telomere-repeat sequence 5'-TTGGGG-3' using an RNA template component TER (PubMed:15696174, PubMed:17322903, PubMed:20713447). TAP65/p65 specifically binds telomerase RNA template TER and is required for biogenesis and placement of the TER stem-terminus element: TAP65/p65 first protects the 3'-end of TER from degradation and acts as a chaperone to correctly fold TER for protein binding; it then bends TER stem-loop IV to position it for interaction of stem-loop IV with catalytic TERT RNA-binding domain (PubMed:15696174, PubMed:17322903, PubMed:20713447, PubMed:22315458, PubMed:22705372). Publication Abstract from PubMed Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex essential for maintenance of telomere DNA at linear chromosome ends. The catalytic core of Tetrahymena telomerase comprises a ternary complex of telomerase RNA (TER), telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), and the essential La family protein p65. NMR and crystal structures of p65 C-terminal domain and its complex with stem IV of TER reveal that RNA recognition is achieved by a combination of single- and double-stranded RNA binding, which induces a 105 degrees bend in TER. The domain is a cryptic, atypical RNA recognition motif with a disordered C-terminal extension that forms an alpha helix in the complex necessary for hierarchical assembly of TERT with p65-TER. This work provides the first structural insight into biogenesis and assembly of TER with a telomerase-specific protein. Additionally, our studies define a structurally homologous domain (xRRM) in genuine La and LARP7 proteins and suggest a general mode of RNA binding for biogenesis of their diverse RNA targets.
