Elimination of a group II intron from a plastid gene causes a mutant phenotype.

Nucleic acids research - 1 Jul 2011

Abstract excerpt

Group II introns are found in bacteria and cell organelles (plastids, mitochondria) and are thought to represent the evolutionary ancestors of spliceosomal introns. It is generally believed that group II introns are selfish genetic elements that do not have any function. Here, we have scrutinized this assumption by analyzing two group II introns that interrupt a plastid gene (ycf3) involved in photosystem...
