Telomerase 3D structures

Structure of the catalytic subunit of telomerase, TERT, 3du5

Telomerase (TEL) adds DNA repeats to the tail end of telomeres. It carries its own RNA. The human TEL is composed of 2 Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT), 2 Telomerase RNA (TERC) and 2 dyskerin (DKC1) molecules. For additional details see Catalytic Subunit of T. Castaneum TERT Polymerase.
