Abstract excerpt
The catalytic subunit of telomerase (TERT) contains conserved reverse transcriptase-like motifs but N- and C-terminal regions unique to telomerases. Despite weak sequence conservation, the C terminus of TERTs from various organisms has been implicated in telomerase-specific functions, including telomerase activity, functional multimerization with other TERT molecules, enzyme processivity and telomere length...
