Abstract excerpt
We have used in vitro genetics to evaluate the function and interactions of the conserved base G8 in the hairpin ribozyme catalytic RNA. Second site revertant selection for a G8X mutant, where X is any of the other three natural nucleobases, yielded a family of second site suppressors of the G8U mutant, but not of G8C or G8A, indicating that only G and U can be tolerated at position 8 of the ribozyme. This result...
