Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein reverse transcriptase specialized for use of a sequence within its integral RNA component as the template for DNA synthesis. Telomerase adds telomeric simple sequence repeats to single-stranded primers in vitro or chromosome ends in vivo. We have investigated the sequences and structures of recombinant Tetrahymena thermophila telomerase RNA necessary for physical association and activity with the catalytic protein subunit expressed in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. In contrast with previous results using another reconstitution method, we find that phylogenetically conserved primary sequences and a phylogenetically nonconserved secondary structure are essential for telomerase RNA function. Telomerase RNA binding to the catalytic protein subunit requires sequences 5' of the template and is highly sequence specific. Other telomerase RNA sequences are required for enzyme activity and proper template use but not for protein interaction affinity. In addition, we demonstrate that the production of active recombinant telomerase requires a factor in rabbit reticulocyte lysate that promotes ribonucleoprotein assembly. These studies demonstrate multiple functions for the telomerase RNA and indicate that recombinant telomerase activity requires more than the catalytic protein and RNA components of the enzyme that have been identified to date.
