Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein that adds DNA to the ends of chromosomes. The catalytic protein subunit of telomerase (TERT) contains an N-terminal domain (TEN) that is important for activity and processivity. Here we describe a mutation in the TEN domain of human TERT that results in a greatly increased primer K(d), supporting a role for the TEN domain in DNA affinity. Measurement of enzyme kinetic parameters...
