Intragenic suppressors that restore the splicing and homing activities of the protein encoded by the second intron of the Saccharomyces capensis cyt b gene.

Abstract excerpt

The second (bi2) intron of the mitochondrial cyt b gene from Saccharomyces capensis encodes a bifunctional protein which acts both as a maturase, promoting intron splicing, and as a homing-endonuclease, I-ScaI, promoting intron mobility. In this work we isolated and characterized revertants from a respiratory-deficient mutant in which both functions of the protein have been lost. Intragenic revertants resulted...
