The transcriptional regulation of human telomerase (hTERT) by the chromatin remodeling protein SMAR1 involves intricate molecular mechanisms. SMAR1, also known as SMAR1 (scaffold/matrix attachment region-binding protein 1), interacts with specific regions of chromatin associated with the hTERT gene. It modulates the chromatin structure, influencing the accessibility of transcription factors and RNA polymerase to the hTERT promoter. This regulation is crucial for controlling the expression of hTERT, which encodes the catalytic subunit of telomerase, a key enzyme in maintaining telomere length and cellular senescence.
