Abstract excerpt
Dyskerin is a protein involved in the formation of small nucleolar and small Cajal body ribonucleoproteins. These complexes participate in RNA pseudouridylation and are also components of the telomerase complex required for telomere elongation. Dyskerin mutations cause a rare disease, X-linked dyskeratosis congenita, with no curative treatment. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum contains a gene coding for...
