SMG6 [ENSP00000263073]
Telomerase-binding protein EST1A; Component of the telomerase ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex that is essential for the replication of chromosome termini . May have a general role in telomere regulation . Promotes in vitro the ability of TERT to elongate telomeres . Overexpression induces telomere uncapping, chromosomal end-to-end fusions (telomeric DNA persists at the fusion points) and did not perturb TRF2 telomeric localization . Binds to the single-stranded 5'-(GTGTGG)(4)GTGT-3' telomeric DNA, but not to a telomerase RNA template component (TER) (PubMed:12676087, PubMed:12699629).
Synonyms: SMG6, SMG6p, hSMG6, I3L176, I3L1W8 ...
