Abstract excerpt
The highly conserved spliceosomal protein Prp8 is known to cross-link the critical sequences at both the 5' (GU) and 3' (YAG) ends of the intron. We have identified prp8 mutants with the remarkable property of suppressing exon ligation defects due to mutations in position 2 of the 5' GU, and all positions of the 3' YAG. The prp8 mutants also suppress mutations in position A51 of the critical ACAGAG motif in U6...
