Abstract excerpt
Manganese (Mn(2+)) promotes specific cleavage at two major (I and III) and four minor (II, IV, V and VI) sites, in addition to slow non-specific cleavage, in a 659-nucleotide RNA containing the Cr.LSU group I intron. The specific cleavages occurred between G and AAA sequences and thus can be considered Mn(2+)-GAAA ribozymes. We have estimated rates of specific and non-specific cleavages under different...
