Oxidative damage in telomeric DNA disrupts recognition by TRF1 and TRF2
Open accessAbstract
The ends of linear chromosomes are capped by protein-DNA complexes termed telomeres. Telomere repeat binding factors 1 and 2 (TRF1 and TRF2) bind specifically to duplex telomeric DNA and are critical components of functional telomeres. Consequences of telomere dysfunction include genomic instability, cellular apoptosis or senescence and organismal aging. Mild oxidative stress induces increased erosion and loss of telomeric DNA in human fibroblasts. We performed binding assays to determine whether oxidative DNA damage in telomeric DNA alters the binding activity of TRF1 and TRF2 proteins. Here, we report that a single 8-oxo-guanine lesion in a defined telomeric substrate reduced the percentage of bound TRF1 and TRF2 proteins by at least 50%, compared with undamaged telomeric DNA. More dramatic effects on TRF1 and TRF2 binding were observed with multiple 8-oxo-guanine lesions in the tandem telomeric repeats. Binding was likewise disrupted when certain intermediates of base excision repair were present within the telomeric tract, namely abasic sites or single nucleotide gaps. These studies indicate that oxidative DNA damage may exert deleterious effects on telomeres by disrupting the association of telomere-maintenance proteins TRF1 and TRF2.

8-oxo-Gs accumulate at telomeres, where they inhibit telomerase and decrease binding of telomeric proteins, leading to disruption of telomere length and precluding maintenance of chromosomal-end capping.
“In addition, 8-oxo-Gs accumulate at telomeres, where they inhibit telomerase and decrease the binding of telomeric proteins, leading to the disruption of telomere length and precluding the maintenance of chromosomal-end capping46.”
From ROS in cancer therapy: the bright side of the moon (2020) · cites this paper as [46]
The Results and Discussion (page numbers unavailable) show that 8-oxoG lesions in defined telomeric DNA substrates reduce TRF1 and TRF2 binding. The paper does not show that 8-oxoG accumulates at telomeres or inhibits telomerase. It proposes possible effects on telomere function but says further studies are needed to establish the consequences for telomere structure and function; the claimed disruption of length and prevention of end capping are therefore not established.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredOxidative stress induces tDD without telomere shortening and accelerates telomere shortening by inhibiting telomerase and disrupting recognition by telomere-binding proteins, contributing to uncapping.
“Oxidative stress reportedly both induces tDD without telomere shortening and accelerates telomere shortening23–26 by inhibiting telomerase27 and disrupting the recognition by telomere-binding proteins, which contributes to telomere uncapping22,28.”

Oxidative damage at telomeres displaces shelterin proteins TRF1 and TRF2.
“oxidative damage at telomeres displaces shelterin proteins TRF1 and TRF2, which might be another mechanism by which oxidative stress leads to telomere dysfunction (Opresko et al., 2005).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
