摘要: What determines the precise sites of cleavage in two transesterification reactions messenger RNA (mRNA) splicing is a major unsolved question. Mutation invariant G (guanosine) at position 5 5' splice Saccharomyces cerevisiae introns activates nearby aberrant sites. A genetic approach was used to test hypothesis that base-pairing interaction between site and ACAGAG sequence U6 determinant choice. Mutations or intron (or both) were predicted stabilize suppressed increased normal cleavage. In addition, mutation mutations 3' dinucleotide. These data can fit model for spliceosomal active comprised set RNA-RNA interactions intron, U2 U6.
