The ribonucleoprotein telomerase is a specialized reverse transcriptase minimally composed of an RNA, TER, and a protein catalytic subunit, TERT. The TER and TERT subunits of telomerase associate to form a dimeric enzyme in several organisms, including human. A small portion of TER, the template domain, is used by telomerase for the synthesis of tandem repeats of telomeric DNA. We studied some ...
