The ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes are transcribed into different species of non-coding transcripts (the telomeric transcriptome), including TERRA (telomeric repeat-containing RNA) molecules; however, the functions associated with the telomeric transcriptome remain elusive. Experimental evidence accumulated during the past few years indicates that the transcriptional activity of telomeres is changed in cells in which the integrity of the telomeres or the heterochromatic state of chromosome ends is altered. On the contrary transcription of a telomere appears not to be influenced by its length. In this paper we briefly review the current state of knowledge on the composition, biogenesis, and regulation of the telomeric transcriptome from yeasts to humans. We also suggest a model in which TERRA is part of the DNA damage response triggered by dysfunctional telomeres and discuss the potential involvement of telomere transcription in the development of human pathologies.

Summary: TERRA, a noncoding RNA crucial for telomere regulation, is transcribed from the subtelomeric region in various life stages of parasites and shares conserved features with other eukaryotes. Additionally, TERRA may control telomere length changes through regulating telomeric base J levels, while also playing a role in telomere protection, especially in infective forms of parasites.

In Vitro Characterization of the Physical Interactions between the Long Noncoding RNA TERRA and the Telomeric Proteins TRF1 and TRF2

Patricia L. Abreu, Yong Woo Lee, Claus M. Azzalin

Summary: RNA-protein interactions play crucial roles in cellular pathways such as protein translation, nuclear organization, and genome stability maintenance. The binding of TRF1 and TRF2 to TERRA depends on the latter's ability to form G-quadruplex structures. The inhibitory activity of TRF1 on TERRA-B domain complex formation is mainly mediated by a patch of glutamates within its N-terminal A domain.

The alternative lengthening of telomeres mechanism jeopardizes telomere integrity if not properly restricted

Bruno Silva, Rajika Arora, Claus M. Azzalin

Summary: This study demonstrates that telomere transcription is a major trigger of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) activity. Inhibiting the transcription of telomeric long noncoding RNA TERRA can suppress ALT features. Additionally, experimentally increasing TERRA transcription leads to rapid loss of telomeric DNA.

ER-mitochondria contact sites in mitochondrial DNA dynamics, maintenance, and distribution

Hema Saranya Ilamathi, Marc Germain

Summary: Mitochondria are the central metabolic hubs in cells, relying on proteins encoded by nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for their function. The maintenance and distribution of mtDNA are crucial for proper mitochondrial function and are associated with mitochondrial diseases. mtDNA is organized into nucleoids that dynamically move and interact with each other. The replication and distribution of mtDNA nucleoids are regulated by the complex interplay of mitochondrial dynamics, ER-mitochondria contact sites, and cytoskeletal networks.
