Structural highlights
Function
POF8_SCHPO RNA-binding protein required for assembly of the holoenzyme telomerase ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex (PubMed:29422501, PubMed:29422503, PubMed:29422664). Specifically binds telomerase RNA ter1 and promotes assembly of ter1 with catalytic subunit trt1 (PubMed:29422501, PubMed:29422503). Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme essential that copies new telomeric repeats onto chromosome ends and functions to maintain cell division (PubMed:29422501, PubMed:29422503, PubMed:29422664).[1] [2] [3]
