Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that the authentic 5' splice site (5'ss) of the first exon in the human beta-globin gene is intrinsically stronger than a cryptic 5'ss located 16 nucleotides upstream. Here we examined by mutational analysis the contribution of individual 5'ss nucleotides to discrimination between these two 5'ss. Based on the in vitro splicing efficiencies of a panel of 26 wild-type and mutant substrates in...
