Abstract excerpt
The P7 element of group I introns contains a semiconserved "bulged" nucleotide, a C in group IA introns (nt 870 in the td intron) and an A in group IB introns [Cech, T.R. (1988) Gene 73, 259-271]. Variants U870, G870, and A870, isolated by a combination of in vitro and in vivo genetic strategies, indicate that C and A at position 870 are consistent with splicing whereas U and G are not. Although mutants G870 and...
