(Submitter supplied) Telomerase, the essential enzyme that maintains telomere length, contains two core components, TERT and TR. While early studies in yeast and mouse both indicated that loss of telomerase leads to phenotypes that arise after an increased number of generations, due to telomere shortening, recent studies claim additional roles for telomerase components in transcription and the response to DNA damage. To test these telomere length maintenance-independent roles of telomerase components, we examined first generation mTR-/- and mTERT-/- mice with long telomeres.
