Subnuclear shuttling of human telomerase induced by transformation and DNA damage

Judy M. Y. Wong , Leonard Kusdra & Kathleen Collins

The telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex caps chromosome ends by adding telomeric repeats. Here we show that catalytically active human telomerase has a regulated intranuclear localization that is dependent on the cell-cycle stage, transformation and DNA damage.
