Abstract excerpt
The 440-nucleotide adenovirus type 5 i-leader sequence, encoding a 13.6-kilodalton protein, is located between the second and third components of the tripartite leader sequence. It appears primarily on the L1 family of mRNAs. To study its function, we constructed two point mutations within the i leader. pm382 lacks the wild-type i-leader splice acceptor and failed to splice the leader onto L1 mRNAs. pm383 lacks...
