Abstract excerpt
The td group I intron interrupting the thymidylate synthase (TS) gene of phage T4 is a mobile intron that encodes the homing endonuclease I-TevI. Efficient RNA splicing of the intron is required to restore function of the TS gene, while expression of I-TevI from within the intron is required to initiate intron mobility. Three distinct layers of regulation temporally limit I-TevI expression to late in the T4...
