Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed base pairing interactions between the U5 snRNA and 5' exon sequences during pre-mRNA splicing in a mammalian in vivo system. We constructed synthetic U5 genes with mutations that alter four bases (C3, U4, U5 and U6) within the invariant 9 nt U5 sequence GCCUUUUAC; transient transfection of HeLa cells with these U5 sequences cloned into a U1 expression vector yielded high levels of the mutant...
