Abstract excerpt
Telomerase replenishes the telomeric repeats that cap eukaryotic chromosome ends. To perform DNA synthesis, the active site of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) copies a template within the integral telomerase RNA (TER). In vivo, TERT and TER and additional subunits form a telomerase holoenzyme capable of telomere elongation. We previously purified epitope-tagged Tetrahymena thermophila TERT and...
