Abstract excerpt
Group II introns encode reverse transcriptases that function in both intron mobility and RNA splicing. The proteins bind specifically to unspliced precursor RNA to promote splicing, and then remain associated with the excised intron to form a DNA endonuclease that mediates intron mobility by target DNA-primed reverse transcription. Here, immunoblotting and UV cross-linking experiments show that the reverse...
