Telomerase is an essential ribonucleoprotein (RNP) enzyme that copies new telomeric repeats onto chromosome ends by repetitively synthesizing the short telomere-repeat sequence 5'-TTGGGG-3' using an RNA template component TER (PubMed:19941821). Acts as part of a replication protein A (RPA)-related subcomplex of the holoenzyme telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex: TEB1 specifically recognizes and binds telomeric ssDNA, thereby mediating the recruitment of the holoenzyme telomerase RNP complex to telomeres (PubMed:19941821, PubMed:25225329, PubMed:27895115). TEB1 is related to RPA1 subunit of the RPA complex but is specific to telomeric DNA, which is not the case of RPA1 (PubMed:25225329).<ref>PMID:19941821</ref> <ref>PMID:20363756</ref> <ref>PMID:22143754</ref> <ref>PMID:25225329</ref> <ref>PMID:27895115</ref>

Telomerase is an RNA-protein complex (RNP) that extends telomeric DNA at the 3' ends of chromosomes using its telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and integral template-containing telomerase RNA (TER). Its activity is a critical determinant of human health, affecting aging, cancer, and stem cell renewal. Lack of atomic models of telomerase, particularly one with DNA bound, has limited our mechanistic understanding of telomeric DNA repeat synthesis. We report the 4.8 A resolution cryoelectron microscopy structure of active Tetrahymena telomerase bound to telomeric DNA. The catalytic core is an intricately interlocked structure of TERT and TER, including a previously structurally uncharacterized TERT domain that interacts with the TEN domain to physically enclose TER and regulate activity. This complete structure of a telomerase catalytic core and its interactions with telomeric DNA from the template to telomere-interacting p50-TEB complex provides unanticipated insights into telomerase assembly and catalytic cycle and a new paradigm for a reverse transcriptase RNP.
