Abstract excerpt
We have previously used site-directed mutagenesis to introduce an additional branch site into the first intron of the human beta-globin gene at nt -24 between the natural branch site (nt -37) and the normal 3' splice site (nt -1). We found that either the upstream or downstream branch site could be used during in vitro splicing, depending on which site best matched the mammalian branch site consensus YURAC (R =...
