Abstract excerpt
U6 is the most highly conserved of the five spliceosomal RNAs. It is associated with U4 by an extensive base-pairing interaction, which is disrupted immediately prior to the first nucleolytic step of splicing. It has been proposed that this event activates catalysis by unmasking U6. Using a combination of doped synthesis and site-directed mutagenesis to generate point mutations in U6, we have now identified 12...
