Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the role of a novel temperature-sensitive splicing mutation, prp18. We had previously demonstrated that an accumulation of the lariat intermediate of splicing occurred at the restrictive temperature in vivo. We have now used the yeast in vitro splicing system to show that extracts from this mutant strain are heat labile for the second reaction of splicing. The heat inactivation of prp18...
