Abstract excerpt
U6 snRNA is essential for and may participate in the catalysis of pre-mRNA splicing. Extensive mutational analyses in several systems have identified nucleotides essential for U6 function in splicing; however, relatively little is known regarding the role of the U6 phosphate backbone. We previously described a mutation in a nematode U6 snRNA that causes it to be used as a splicing substrate within the...
