Requirements of a group I intron for reactions at the 3' splice site.

Journal of molecular biology - 5 Feb 1993

van der Horst G, Inoue T

Abstract excerpt

Structural elements of the Tetrahymena group I intron have been implicated in directing the exon-ligation transesterification reaction (the second step of self-splicing) to the correct 3' splice site. The 3' splice site also serves as the reaction site in a distinct transesterification reaction k...
