Protein: Telomerase reverse transcriptase (AtTERT) (EC 2.7.7.49) (Q9SPU7)
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress)
Function: Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme essential for the replication of chromosome termini in most eukaryotes. It elongates telomeres. It is a reverse transcriptase that adds simple sequence repeats to chromosome ends by copying a template sequence within the RNA component of the enzyme. Required to prevent genome instability induced by breakage-fusion-bridge (BFB) cycles. Can extend completely non-telomeric sequences using RNA template in vitro.
