The human pathogen, Schistosoma mansoni, lacks the cognate sequence for human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and relies on the snail host, Biomphalaria glabrata homologous enzyme for its intra-molluscan development.

Abstract excerpt

The human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is the catalytic sub-unit of the ribonuclear protein, telomerase. Together with telomerase RNA, the enzyme complex participates in the maintenance of telomeres at the proximal ends of chromosomes, adding species-specific repeats to the 3’end of the telomere. The regulation of hTERT is tightly linked to the cell cycle and cell differentiation states governing eithe...
