Splicing of vertebrate introns involves recognition of three consensus elements at the 3' end. The branch point (BP) and polypyrimidine tract (PPT) are usually located within 40 nucleotides (nt) of the 3' splice site (3' ss), AG, but can be much more distant. A characteristic of the region between distant BPs (dBPs) and the 3' ss is the absence of intervening AG dinucleotides, leading to its designation as the...
