Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae DBR1 gene encodes a 2'-5' phosphodiesterase that debranches intron RNA lariats following splicing. Yeast dbr1 mutants accumulate intron lariats and are also defective for mobility of the retrotransposons Ty1 and Ty3. We used a mutagenic PCR method to generate a collection of dbr1 mutant alleles to explore the relationship between the roles of DBR1 in transposition and debranching....
