Dyskerin Is a Component of the <i>Arabidopsis</i> Telomerase RNP Required for Telomere Maintenance
23 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Dyskerin binds the H/ACA box of human telomerase RNA and is a core telomerase subunit required for RNP biogenesis and enzyme function in vivo. Missense mutations in dyskerin result in dyskeratosis congenita, a complex syndrome characterized by bone marrow failure, telomerase enzyme deficiency, and progressive telomere shortening. Here we demonstrate that dyskerin also contributes to telomere maintenance in...
