Abstract excerpt
Base-pairing between U2 and U6 snRNAs to form intermolecular helix II has been demonstrated previously as a requirement for pre-mRNA splicing in mammalian cells. In contrast, deletion and substitution mutation experiments in yeast have indicated that helix II is not essential; instead, other regions of U2 and U6 have been proposed to pair, forming a helix called Ib. To investigate the importance of U2/U6 helices...
