Telomeric G4<br />

Discussion<br />

Apart from protective role, in in vitro primer extension assays to study<br />

telomere elongation, intermolecular G4 are highly stable and are excellent<br />

substrates when compared to intramolecular G4 for ciliate telomerase. From<br />

yeast to humans, telomerase could form <strong>di</strong>mers or multimers and this has<br />

been shown to regulate the catalytic activity of telomerase enzyme [216,217].<br />

It should be determined if telomerase <strong>di</strong>merization can elongate more than<br />

one telomere simultaneously.<br />
