Abstract excerpt
Compensatory mutations are crucial for functional RNA because they maintain RNA configuration and thus function. Compensatory mutation has traditionally been considered to be a two-step substitution through the GU-base-pair intermediate. We tested for an alternative AC-mediated compensatory mutation (ACCM). We investigated ACCMs by using a comprehensive sampling of ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2)...
