The hTERT and hTERC telomerase gene promoters are activated by the second exon of the adenoviral protein, E1A, identifying the transcriptional corepressor CtBP as a potential repressor of both genes.

Abstract excerpt
Telomerase plays a role in the unlimited replicative capacity of the majority of cancer cells and provides a potential anticancer target. The regulation of telomerase is complex but transcriptional control of its two essential components, hTERC (RNA component) and hTERT (reverse transcriptase component), is of major importance. To investigate this further, we have used the adenoviral protein, E1A, as a tool to...
