Telomerase-Mediated Telomere Addition In Vivo Requires DNA Primase and DNA Polymerases α and δ

TL;DR: An assay in S. cerevisiae that creates a chromosome end immediately adjacent to a short telomeric DNA tract indicates that telomersic DNA synthesis by telomerase is tightly coregulated with the production of the opposite strand.
Journal ArticleDOI

The function of a stem-loop in telomerase RNA is linked to the DNA repair protein Ku.

TL;DR: It is shown that a 48-nt stem-loop structure within the 1.3-kb TLC1 RNA is necessary and sufficient for disrupting telomeric silencing and shortening telomeres and this short RNA sequence appears to function through an interaction with the conserved DNA end-binding protein Ku.
