A role for branchpoints in splicing in vivo.

Nature - 1 Jan 2000

Rautmann G, Breathnach R

Abstract excerpt

The nucleotides immediately surrounding intron/exon junctions of genes transcribed by RNA polymerase B can be derived from 'consensus' sequences for donor and acceptor splice sites by only a few base changes. Studies in vivo have underlined the importance of these junction nucleotides for splicin...
