Abstract excerpt
Telomerase contains an essential RNA, which includes the template sequence copied by the reverse transcription action of telomerase into telomeric DNA. Using phylogenetic comparison, we identified seven conserved sequences in telomerase RNAs from Kluyveromyces budding yeasts. We show that two of these sequences, CS3 and CS4, are essential for normal telomerase function and can base-pair to form a putative...
