5. Summary & Conclusions CBEA is a key element of enterprise systems engineering; it is the analytical framework that supports capabilities-based planning, programming, and acquisition in a systemic approach to the purposeful evolution of the enterprise.
The genes of telomerase subunits, which include TERT, TERC, DKC1 and TEP1, are located on different chromosomes. The human TERT gene (hTERT) is translated into a protein of 1132 amino acids. TERT polypeptide folds with (and carries) TERC, a non-coding RNA (451 nucleotides long).
They work like the plastic tips of shoelaces to protect the ends of chromosomes, the strings of genes in the heart of every cell that tell it what to do. Without telomeres, our cells would lose the ability to divide and would quickly die off. Scientists have been fascinated by telomeres for several decades.
