Unraveling the stepwise maturation of the yeast telomerase including a Cse1 and Mtr10 mediated quality control checkpoint

Abstract Telomerases elongate the ends of chromosomes required for cell immortality through their reverse transcriptase activity. By using the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae we defined the order in which the holoenzyme matures. First, a longer precursor of the telomerase RNA, TLC1 is transc...
