Abstract excerpt
Branchpoint nucleotides of intron lariats induce pausing of DNA synthesis by reverse transcriptases (RTs), but it is not known yet how they direct RT RNase H activity on branched RNA (bRNA). Here, we report the effects of the two arms of bRNA on branchpoint-directed RNA cleavage and mutation produced by Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MLV) RT during DNA polymerization. We constructed a long-chained bRNA template...
