Abstract excerpt
The two group IC3 pre-tRNA introns from Azoarcus and Synechococcus share very analogous secondary structures. They are small group I ribozymes that possess only two peripheral domains, P2 and P9. However, the 3'-splice site hydrolysis activity of the Synechococcus ribozyme critically depends on P2 whereas that of Azoarcus does not, indicating that the structure-function relationships of the two ribozymes are...
