  • MAMMALIAN RNA DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE
    Publication number: 20110243910
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions comprising a TERT-RMRP or TERT-RNA complex and methods of treating subjects with genetic diseases in which gene silencing is either increased by administering the compositions of the invention or decreased by administering an inhibitor of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) activity of these compositions. Moreover, the invention provides methods of screening for agonists and antagonists of RdRP activity and TERT-RMRP complex formation. Finally, the invention provides a method of identifying a RNA molecule that forms a complex with a TERT polypeptide and has RdRP activity.
