Abstract
Methods and compositions are provided for modulating, e.g., increasing or decreasing, the expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). In the subject methods, the binding interaction of the GC-Box 5 repressor site with a repressor protein (or protein complex including the same) is modulated to achieve the desired change in TERT expression. The subject methods and compositions find use in a variety of different applications, including the immortalization of cells, the production of reagents for use in life science research, therapeutic applications; therapeutic agent screening applications; and the like.
