Introns in the cytolethal distending toxin gene of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 2005

Tan Kai Soo, Ong Grace, Song Keang Peng

Abstract excerpt

In eukaryotic cells, genes are interrupted by intervening sequences called introns. Introns are transcribed as part of a precursor RNA that is subsequently removed by splicing, giving rise to mature mRNA. However, introns are rarely found in bacteria. Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a periodontal pathogen implicated in aggressive forms of periodontal disease. This organism has been shown to produce...
