Telomeres, the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes, are tandem DNA repeats and capped by various telomeric proteins. These nucleoprotein complexes protect telomeres from DNA damage response (DDR), recombination, and end-to-end fusions, ensuring genome stability. The human telosome/shelterin complex is one of the best-studied telomere-associated protein complexes, made up of six core telomeric proteins TRF1, TRF2, TIN2, RAP1, POT1, and TPP1. TPP1, also known as adrenocortical dysplasia protein homolog (ACD), is a putative mammalian homolog of TEBP-β and belongs to the oligonucleotide binding (OB)-fold-containing protein family. Three functional domains have been identified within TPP1, the N-terminal OB fold, the POT1 binding recruitment domain (RD), and the carboxyl-terminal TIN2-interacting domain (TID). TPP1 can interact with both POT1 and TIN2 to maintain telomere structure, and mediate telomerase recruitment for telomere elongation. These features have indicated TPP1 play an essential role in telomere maintenance. Here, we will review important findings that highlight the functional significance of TPP1, with a focus on its interaction with other telosome components and the telomerase. We will also discuss potential implications in disease therapies.
