additional information | Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hrq1 and Pif1 DNA helicases synergistically modulate telomerase activity in vitro. The helicases alone have equal-but-opposite biphasic effects on telomerase, with Hrq1 stimulating activity at high concentrations. When the helicases are combined in reactions, they synergistically inhibit or stimulate telomerase activity depending on which helicase is catalytically active. Hrq1 affects telomerase activity by a different mechanism than Pif1. Pif1 helicase activity is stimulated by RNA-DNA hybrids | Saccharomyces cerevisiae | ? | - |

metabolism | Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hrq1 and Pif1 DNA helicases synergistically modulate telomerase activity in vitro. The helicases alone have equal-but-opposite biphasic effects on telomerase, with Hrq1 stimulating activity at high concentrations. When the helicases are combined in reactions, they synergistically inhibit or stimulate telomerase activity depending on which helicase is catalytically active. Hrq1 and Pif1 interact and their concerted activities ensure proper telomere length homeostasis in vivo. Modelling of Hrq1 and Pif1 cooperatively contributing to telomere length homeostasis in yeast, overview. Hrq1 affects telomerase activity by a different mechanism than Pif1. Pif1 acts on a long (50 nt) primer. Pif1 shows a complex activity profile over the range of concentrations tested | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
physiological function | Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pif1 DNA helicase synergistically modulates telomerase activity. It is a catalytic inhibitor of telomerase. The enzyme is involved in telomerase regulation together with DNA helicase Hrq1 | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
