Telomerase is a specialized DNA polymerase that consists of multiple protein subunits and an RNA component.
The RNA component could be made the target of an anti-telomerase attack if its full sequence were known.
The RNA component catalyses the interaction of SRP with its SR receptor.
The RNA component is 9749 nucleotides long.
The RNA component, in isolation, was enough for the observed catalytic activity of the enzyme.
For example, the RNA component of human telomerase contains a pseudoknot that is critical for activity.
It was then discovered that SRP contained an RNA component.
The RNA components of snRNPs interact with the intron and may be involved in catalysis.
All such windows are false positives, because the simulated genomes have no RNA component.
Three months and seventeen days later, Andrews' team successfully cloned the RNA component of telomerase ("hTR").
