Abstract excerpt
The upstream cleavage site of group I self-splicing introns is identified by an absolutely conserved U.G base-pair within a double helix. Mutant introns with a wobble C.A substitute are catalytically active, but all other combinations of nucleotides at these positions abolish splicing, suggesting that an unusual RNA structure generated by the wobble pair is recognized by the catalytic intron core. The solution...
