Sujet :
Telomerase is an enzymatic multimolecular complex which has two known functions : 1) addition of [TTAGGG] repeats to telomeric DNA, counteracting normal mitotic erosion, and 2) activation of various genes controlling cell proliferation. The possible coordination of these two functions is a key issue in understanding the growth of cancer cells. We report long-term changes to this 3-D complex system, as shown by specific data analysis methods. We show that the dynamics of the two functions of telomerase are balanced, with a change in predominant function every 13 to 14 weeks. The conservative behavior of this dynamic system probably accounts for the persistent proliferation of cancer cells.
