The present invention is directed to novel telomerase nucleic acids and amino
acids. In particular, the present invention is directed to nucleic acid and amino
acid sequences encoding various telomerase protein subunits and motifs, including
the 123 kDa and 43 kDa telomerase protein subunits of Euplotes aediculatus,
and related sequences from Schizosaccharomyces, Saccharomyces sequences,
and human telomerase. The present invention is also directed to polypeptides comprising
these telomerase protein subunits, as well as functional polypeptides and ribonucleoproteins
that contain these subunits.
