摘要
The telomerase enzyme, which synthesizes telomeric DNA repeats, is regulated in cis at individual chromosome ends by the telomeric protein/DNA complex in a manner dependent on telomere repeat-array length. A dynamic interplay between telomerase-inhibiting factors bound at duplex DNA repeats and telomerasepromoting ones bound at single-stranded terminal DNA overhangs appears to modulate telomerase activity and to be directly related to the transient deprotection of telomeres. We discuss recent advances on the mechanism of telomerase regulation at chromosome ends in both yeast and mammalian systems.
