Abstract excerpt
The invariant AGC triad of U6 snRNA plays an essential, unknown role in splicing. The triad has been implicated in base-pairing with residues in U2, U4, and U6. Through a genetic analysis in S. cerevisiae, we found that most AGC mutants are suppressed both by restoring pairing with U2, supporting the significance of U2/U6 helix Ib, and by destabilizing U2 stem I, indicating that this stem regulates helix Ib...
