Functional Organization of Repeat Addition Processivity and DNA Synthesis Determinants in the Human Telomerase Multimer
13 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
Human telomerase is a multimer containing two human telomerase RNAs (hTRs) and most likely two human telomerase reverse transcriptases (hTERTs). Telomerase synthesizes multiple telomeric repeats using a unique repeat addition form of processivity. We investigated hTR and hTERT sequences that were essential for DNA synthesis and processivity using a direct primer extension telomerase assay. We found that hTERT...
