The unusually large Plasmodium telomerase reverse-transcriptase localizes in a discrete compartment associated with the nucleolus
Telomerase replicates chromosome ends, a function necessary for maintaining genome integrity. We have identified the gene that encodes the catalytic reverse transcriptase (RT) component of this enzyme in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (PfTERT) as well as the orthologous genes from two ro...
