Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is a cellular reverse transcriptase, which utilizes an integral RNA template to extend single-stranded telomeric DNA. We used site-specific photocrosslinking to map interactions between DNA primers and the catalytic protein subunit (tTERT) of Tetrahymena thermophila telomerase in functional enzyme complexes. Our assays reveal contact of the single-stranded DNA adjacent to the primer-template hybrid and...
