Abstract excerpt
Sustained cell proliferation requires telomerase to maintain functional telomeres that are essential for chromosome integrity and protection. Although nuclear import of telomerase transcriptase (hTERT) is required for telomerase activity to elongate telomeres in vivo, the molecular mechanism regulating nuclear localization of hTERT is unclear. We have identified a bipartite nuclear localization signal (NLS; amino...
