Abstract excerpt
Human chromosome end-capping and telomerase regulation require POT1 (Protection of Telomeres 1) and TPP1 proteins, which bind to the 3' ssDNA extension of human telomeres. POT1-TPP1 binding to telomeric DNA activates telomerase repeat addition processivity. We now provide evidence that this POT1-TPP1 activation requires specific interactions with telomerase, rather than it being a DNA substrate-specific effect....
