The N-terminus of hTERT contains a DNA-binding domain and is required for telomerase activity and cellular immortalization

Telomerase defers the onset of telomere damage-induced signaling and cellular senescence by adding DNA onto chromosome ends. The ability of telomerase to elongate single-stranded telomeric DNA depends on the reverse transcriptase domain of TERT, and also relies on protein:DNA contacts outside the ac...
