Deletion of 184–188 Nucleotides of Human Telomerase RNA Does Not Affect the Telomerase Functioning

Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex, the main components of which are telomerase RNA and reverse transcriptase. Previously, it was shown in our laboratory that human telomerase RNA contains an open reading frame starting at adenine in position 176. The open reading frame encodes the hTERP prot...

Description
Summary:Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex, the main components of which are telomerase RNA and reverse transcriptase. Previously, it was shown in our laboratory that human telomerase RNA contains an open reading frame starting at adenine in position 176. The open reading frame encodes the hTERP protein, and the deletion of nucleotides 184–188 of human telomerase RNA disrupts the open reading frame and leads to the absence of hTERP. Human telomerase RNA has a conserved structure, changes in which affect telomerase activity. In this work, we have shown that the deletion of nucleotides 184–188 of telomerase RNA does not affect the functioning of telomerase.
