telomeres and telomerase的意思|示意

Senescence and immortalization: role of telomeres and telomerase - Carcinogenesis, 2005.

衰老和永生化：端粒与端粒酶的作用-癌变，2005。

Telomerase is an enzyme that can rebuild and lengthen telomeres.

端粒末端转移酶是一种可以重建并且延展端粒的酶。

The Nobel Laureates have shown that the solution is to be found in the ends of the chromosomes the telomeres - and in an enzyme that forms them - telomerase.

这几位获奖者已经证明，染色体解决上述问题的奥妙就在于染色体末端的端粒（telomer）以及形成端粒的酶——端粒酶。

These discoveries explained how the ends of the chromosomes are protected by the telomeres and that they are built by telomerase.

他们的发现解释了染色体末端是怎样得到端粒的保护，而端粒是在端粒酶的作用下形成的。

Blackburn and Greider went on to isolate telomerase, while Szostak identified a protein essential for maintaining telomeres in yeast, which turned out to be a key component of the enzyme.

Blackburn 及Greider此后继续研究分离端粒酶，而Szostak发现了一种保持酵母细胞端粒水平所必须的蛋白质，随后其成为端粒酶的关键组成物质。
