A telomerase with novel non-canonical roles: TERT controls cellular aggregation and tissue size in Dictyostelium.
Telomerase, particularly its main subunit, the reverse transcriptase, TERT, prevents DNA erosion during eukaryotic chromosomal replication, but also has poorly understood non-canonical functions. Here, in the model social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum, we show that the protein encoded by tert has...
