Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex that adds telomeric DNA repeats to the ends of most eukaryotic chromosomes. The reverse transcriptase subunit of telomerase (TERT) differs from retroviral reverse transcriptases in having a long basic amino-terminal extension. We made a large library containing random mutations in the amino terminus of the EST2 gene, which encodes the Saccharomyces cerevisiae TERT, and...
