Introduction

Pfam

Est1 is a protein which recruits or activates telomerase at the site of polymerisation [1]. This is the DNA/RNA binding domain of EST1 [3].

InterPro

This entry represents a DNA/RNA binding domain found in the telomere elongation protein EST1 and related sequences, such as the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway proteins SMG5 and SMG7 [PUBMED:12676088, PUBMED:14636577, PUBMED:15546618].
