Abstract excerpt
Synthetic transcripts of satellite 2 DNA from newts undergo self-catalyzed, site-specific cleavage in vitro. Cleavage occurs within a domain that is similar to the hammerhead domain used by a number of self-cleaving, infectious plant RNAs. The newt hammerhead has a potentially unstable structure due to a stem composed of two base pairs and a 2-nucleotide loop, and unlike other hammerheads that have been studied,...
