Abstract excerpt
In the pre-mRNA processing machinery of eukaryotic cells, U6 snRNA is located at or near the active site for pre-mRNA splicing catalysis, and U6 is involved in catalyzing the first chemical step of splicing. We have further defined the roles of key features of yeast U6 snRNA in the splicing process. By assaying spliceosome assembly and splicing in yeast extracts, we found that mutations of yeast U6 nt 56 and 57...
