Enhanced specificity against misfolding in a thermostable mutant of the Tetrahymena ribozyme.
Biochemistry - 8 Feb 2011
Wan Yaqi, Russell Rick
Abstract excerpt
Structured RNAs encode native conformations that are more stable than the vast ensembles of alternative conformations, but how this specificity is evolved is incompletely understood. Here we show that a variant of the Tetrahymena group I intron ribozyme that was generated previously by in vitro selection for enhanced thermostability also displays modestly enhanced specificity against a stable misfolded structure...
