Abstract excerpt
U2 and U6 small nuclear RNAs are thought to play critical roles in pre-mRNA splicing catalysis. Genetic evidence suggests they form an extensively base-paired structure within the spliceosome that is required for catalysis. Especially in light of significant similarities with group II self-splicing introns, we wished to investigate whether the purified RNAs might by themselves be able to form a complex similar to...
