Quantitative mass spectrometry of Arabidopsis telomerase uncovered AtLa1, a homolog of ciliate and yeast proteins that promotes telomerase maturation. AtLa1 is essential for telomerase function in vivo, and in vitro it engages the same region of AtTR bound by AtNAP57, homologous to a telomerase accessory from mammals.
