TERT Promoter Mutations Enhance Telomerase Activation by Long-Range Chromatin Interactions.
Cancer discovery - 1 Nov 2016
Min Jaewon, Shay Jerry W
Abstract excerpt
Although single-nucleotide somatic mutations in the proximal promoter of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene create novel consensus sequences for transcription factors that enhance TERT expression, the precise mechanism of how telomerase is reactivated in cancer cells remains poorly understood. In this issue, Akıncılar and colleagues identify a potential mechanism of TERT reactivation that is...
