Abstract excerpt
The thermostable Geobacillus stearothermophilus GsI-IIC intron is among the few bacterial group II introns found to proliferate to high copy number in its host genome. Here, we developed a bacterial genetic assay for retrohoming and biochemical assays for protein-dependent and self-splicing of GsI-IIC. We found that GsI-IIC, like other group IIC introns, retrohomes into sites having a 5'-exon DNA hairpin,...
