The Role of Human Satellite III (1q12) Copy Number Variation in the Adaptive Response during Aging, Stress, and Pathology: A Pendulum Model

The pericentric satellite III (SatIII or Sat3) and II tandem repeats recently appeared to be transcribed under stress conditions, and the transcripts were shown to play an essential role in the universal stress response. In this paper, we review the role of human-specific SatIII copy number variatio...

description The pericentric satellite III (SatIII or Sat3) and II tandem repeats recently appeared to be transcribed under stress conditions, and the transcripts were shown to play an essential role in the universal stress response. In this paper, we review the role of human-specific SatIII copy number variation (CNV) in normal stress response, aging and pathology, with a focus on 1q12 loci. We postulate a close link between transcription of SatII/III repeats and their CNV. The accrued body of data suggests a hypothetical universal mechanism, which provides for SatIII copy gain during the stress response, alongside with another, more hypothetical reverse mechanism that might reduce the mean SatIII copy number, likely via the selection of cells with excessively large 1q12 loci. Both mechanisms, working alternatively like swings of the pendulum, may ensure the balance of SatIII copy numbers and optimum stress resistance. This model is verified on the most recent data on SatIII CNV in pathology and therapy, aging, senescence and response to genotoxic stress in vitro.
