Deskripsi
Incessant telomere synthesis in cancer cells depends on specific mutations in the TERT promoter, enabling its activation by transcription factors ETS1 and p52. Here, the authors elucidate the structural basis for p52/ETS1 binding to mutant TERT, suggesting a general mechanism for TERT reactivation in cancer.
