Human C1 is crucial for extended lifespan and telomere maintenance. (A) TRAP analysis of BJT cells transduced with retroviruses expressing MMH, HHM, mTERT-hC1, hTERT-mC1, mTERT-hC2, hTERT-mC2, hTERT, or mTERT. (B) C1 domain of hTERT is required, but not sufficient for extended lifespan. Serial passage of cells in panel A is shown. (C and D) Telomeres shorten then stabilize in immortal hTERT-mC2-BJT cells over 150 population doublings by TRF Southern blot analysis (mTERT-BJT and hTERT-BJT shown for comparison).
