Abstract excerpt
Mutations that impact maturation of human telomerase RNA (hTR) are common in telomere biology disorders. Here, we describe sequential posttranscriptional modifications that coordinate hTR biogenesis and decay. Initially, TGS1-mediated 5'-cap trimethylation targets long genomically extended hTR precursors for degradation. Prevention of 5'-cap trimethylation results in accumulation of nucleolar 3'-end extended...
