Mutation in TERT separates processivity from anchor-site function
Repeat-addition processivity (RAP), that is, generating multiple DNA repeats from a single template without primer dissociation, is a key property of telomerase. In the Tetrahymena reverse-transcriptase component...

The POT1–TPP1 telomere complex is a telomerase processivity factor
Telomeres were originally defined as chromosome caps that prevent the natural ends of linear chromosomes from undergoing deleterious degradation and fusion events. POT1 (protection of telomeres) protein binds ...

Crystal structure of the essential N-terminal domain of telomerase reverse transcriptase
Telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein enzyme, adds telomeric DNA repeats to the ends of linear chromosomes. Here we report the first high-resolution structure of any portion of the telomerase reverse transcriptase, ...

Structure of human POT1 bound to telomeric single-stranded DNA provides a model for chromosome end-protection
The POT1 (protection of telomeres 1) protein binds the single-stranded overhang at the ends of chromosomes in diverse eukaryotes. It is essential for chromosome end-protection in the fission yeast Schizosaccharom...

DNA self-recognition in the structure of Pot1 bound to telomeric single-stranded DNA
Telomeres, specialized protein–DNA complexes that cap the ends of linear chromosomes, are essential for protecting chromosomes from degradation and end-to-end fusions1,2. The Pot1 (protection of telomeres 1) prot...
