Abstract excerpt
Over 1000 nucleotides may separate the ribozyme core of some group I introns from their 3' splice junctions. Using the sunY intron of bacteriophage T4 as a model system, we have investigated the mechanisms by which proximal splicing events are suppressed in vitro, as well as in vivo. Exon ligation as well as cleavage at the 5' splice site are shown to require long-range pairing between one of the peripheral...
