Stemness as a cell default state.
The potential of stem cells to generate all cell types while retaining the ability to self-renew has attracted much attention; a degree of focus comparable to that of developmental biologists on the capacity of an egg to produce a full organism. This interest has been enhanced by the prospective biomedical applications of stem-cell-derived technologies. As such, efforts are under way to identif...
متن کاملAZT as a telomerase inhibitor
Telomerase is a highly specialized reverse transcriptase (RT) and the maintenance of telomeric length is determined by this specific enzyme. The human holoenzyme telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein composed by a catalytic subunit, hTERT, an RNA component, hTR, and a group of associated proteins. Telomerase is normally expressed in embryonic cells and is repressed during adulthood. The enzyme is r...
متن کاملTelomerase: an RNP enzyme synthesizes DNA.
Telomerase is a eukaryotic ribonucleoprotein (RNP) whose specialized reverse transcriptase action performs de novo synthesis of one strand of telomeric DNA. The resulting telomerase-mediated elongation of telomeres, which are the protective end-caps for eukaryotic chromosomes, counterbalances the inevitable attrition from incomplete DNA replication and nuclease action. The telomerase strategy t...
متن کاملTetrahymena telomerase is active as a monomer.
Telomerase is an enzyme that utilizes an internal RNA molecule as a template for the extension of chromosomal DNA ends. The catalytic core of telomerase consists of the RNA subunit and a protein reverse transcriptase subunit, known as telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). It has previously been shown that both yeast and human telomerase can form dimers or multimers in which one RNA in the co...
متن کاملMicroRNA-203 As a Stemness Inhibitor of Glioblastoma Stem Cells
Glioblastoma stem cells (GBM-SCs) are believed to be a subpopulation within all glioblastoma (GBM) cells that are in large part responsible for tumor growth and the high grade of therapeutic resistance that is so characteristic of GBM. MicroRNAs (miR) have been implicated in regulating the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in cancer stem cells, including GBM-SCs, and they are a...
