Abstract excerpt
The U5 snRNA loop 1 is characterized by the conserved sequence G1C2C3U4U5U6Y7A8Y9 and is essential for the alignment of exons during the second step of pre-mRNA splicing in Saccharo myces cerevisiae. Despite this sequence conservation the size, rather than sequence, of loop 1 is critical for exon alignment in vitro. To determine the in vivo requirements for U5 loop 1 a library of loop 1 sequences was transformed...
