Abstract excerpt
We have found that intron 5 alpha of the COXI gene (al5 alpha) of yeast mtDNA is a mobile group I intron in crosses between strains having or lacking the intron. We have demonstrated the following hallmarks of that process: 1) co-conversion of flanking optional intron markers; 2) mutations that truncate the intron open reading frame block intron mobility; and 3) the intron open reading frame encodes an...
