POT1a promotes an extendable telomere state via contacts with the telomerase RNP as well as STN1 and CTC1, while TEN1 opposes these functions.
Title: POT1a and components of CST engage telomerase and regulate its activity in Arabidopsis.

Data indicate that TEN1/MDO1 (AT1G56260) is critical for telomere stability and also plays a role in modulating telomerase enzyme activity.
Title: MERISTEM DISORGANIZATION1 encodes TEN1, an essential telomere protein that modulates telomerase processivity in Arabidopsis.

The MDO1 gene product is required for the maintenance of stem cells through the protection of cells from DNA damage.
Title: The Arabidopsis MERISTEM DISORGANIZATION 1 gene is required for the maintenance of stem cells through the reduction of DNA damage.
