TERRA<\/strong>\u00a0in biology is an abbreviation for “TElomeric Repeat-containing RNA”.\u00a0TERRA is\u00a0RNA<\/a>\u00a0that is\u00a0transcribed<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0telomeres<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the repeating 6-nucleotide<\/a>\u00a0sequences that cap the ends of\u00a0chromosomes<\/a>. TERRA functions with\u00a0shelterin<\/a>\u00a0to inhibit telomere lengthening by enzyme\u00a0telomerase<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TERRAs are essential for telomere length and maintenance. At least four factors contribute to telomere maintenance: telomerase, shelterin, TERRA and the CST Complex<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TERRA can also regulate telomere length by increasing euchromatin<\/a> formation. On the other hand, nonsense-mediated decay<\/a> factor enrichment at telomeres may exist to prevent TERRA inhibition of telomerase. TERRA levels vary during the cell cycle<\/a>, decreasing during S phase<\/a>, and increasing in the transition from G2 phase<\/a> to G1 phase<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From Wikipedia: TERRA\u00a0in biology is an abbreviation for “TElomeric Repeat-containing RNA”.\u00a0TERRA is\u00a0RNA\u00a0that is\u00a0transcribed\u00a0from\u00a0telomeres\u00a0\u2014 the repeating 6-nucleotide\u00a0sequences that cap the ends of\u00a0chromosomes.
