Abstract excerpt
Precise recognition of the boundaries between exons and introns (splice sites [SS]) is essential for the fidelity of gene expression. In contrast with the 5'SS, the consensus 3'SS sequence in both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and humans is just three nucleotides long: YAG. How the correct 3'SS is chosen among many possible alternates by the spliceosome is often unclear but likely involves proofreading by the Prp22...
