Abstract excerpt
Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), the catalytic subunit of telomerase, contains motifs conserved among reverse transcriptases. Several nucleic acid-dependent polymerases that share a "fingers, palm, and thumb substructure" were shown to oligomerize. Here we demonstrate that hTERT also has this ability using partially purified recombinant hTERTs and mammalian cells co-expressing differently tagged...
