| Abstract |
Telomeres, the protein-DNA complexes at the ends of linear chromosomes, are protected and regulated by the shelterin molecules, the telomerase complex, and other accessory factors, among which is Apollo, a DNA repair factor of the beta-lactamase/beta-CASP family. Impaired telomere protection in humans causes dyskeratosis congenita and Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson (HH) syndrome, characterized by premature aging, bone marrow failure, and immunodeficiency. We identified a unique Apollo splice variant (designated Apollo-Delta) in fibroblasts from a patient with HH syndrome. Apollo-Delta generates a dominant negative form of Apollo lacking the telomeric repeat-binding factor homology (TRFH)-binding motif (TBM) required for interaction with the shelterin TRF2 at telomeres. Apollo-Delta hampers the proper replication of telomeres, leading to major telomeric dysfunction and cellular senescence, but maintains its DNA interstrand cross-link repair function in the whole genome. These results identify Apollo as a crucial actor in telomere maintenance in vivo, independent of its function as a general DNA repair factor. |
