Abstract excerpt
Telomerase processively adds telomeric DNA repeats to chromosome ends using catalytic protein subunit TERT and a template on its RNA subunit TR. Mammalian telomerase is recruited to telomeres by the TEL patch and NOB regions of shelterin component TPP1. Recent cryo-EM structures of human telomerase reveal that a composite TERT TEN-(IFD-TRAP) domain interacts with TPP1. Here, we generate TERT mutants to...
