Abstract excerpt
The specific recognition of splice signals at or near exon-intron junctions is not explained by their weak conservation and instead is postulated to require a multitude of features embedded in the pre-mRNA strand. We explored the possibility of 3D structural scaffold of AdML-a model pre-mRNA substrate-guiding early spliceosomal components to the splice signal sequences. We find that mutations in the non-cognate...
