Structural basis for reactivating the mutant TERT promoter by cooperative binding of p52 and ETS1

Incessant telomere synthesis in cancer cells depends on specific mutations in the TERT promoter, enabling its activation by transcription factors ETS1 and p52. Here, the authors elucidate the structural basis for p52/ETS1 binding to mutant TERT, suggesting a general mechanism for TERT reactivation i...

Sumario:Incessant telomere synthesis in cancer cells depends on specific mutations in the TERT promoter, enabling its activation by transcription factors ETS1 and p52. Here, the authors elucidate the structural basis for p52/ETS1 binding to mutant TERT, suggesting a general mechanism for TERT reactivation in cancer.
