Abstract excerpt
The branch point sequence (BPS) is a conserved splicing signal important for spliceosome assembly and lariat intron formation. BPS mutations may result in aberrant pre-mRNA splicing and genetic disorders, but their phenotypic consequences have been difficult to predict, largely due to a highly degenerate nature of the BPS consensus. Here, we have examined the splicing pattern of nine reporter pre-mRNAs that have...
