Grant Activity:
Molecular characterisation of the DBHS proteins in telomerase assembly
Purpose:
Telomerase is an enzyme that is active in over 90 percent of cancers. Telomerase activity allows cancer cells to divide an indefinite number of times. We have identified a novel role for the DBHS protein family in regulating telomerase activity. We aim to investigate the mechanisms by which these proteins function to assemble and transport telomerase to its site of action in the cell. We then aim to develop chemical inhibitors of these proteins, and test their utility in preventing cancer cell growth.
