Abstract excerpt
The group I intron from the chloroplast rRNA large subunit of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Cr.LSU) undergoes autocatalytic splicing in vitro. Cr.LSU displays a range of reactions typical of other group I introns. Under optimal conditions, the 5' cleavage step proceeds rapidly, but the exon-ligation step is relatively slow, and no pH dependent hydrolysis of the 3' splice site occurs. A requirement for high...
