Abstract excerpt
Deletion of uridylates from the 3'-most editing site of synthetic ATPase 6 pre-mRNA can be visualized directly by coincubation of a radiolabeled substrate RNA and a synthetic gRNA in 20S fractions of T.brucie mitochondrial lysates. Substrate RNA cleavage is gRNA directed and occurs 3' to the uridylates to be deleted. U residues appear to be sequentially removed from the 3' end of the 5' cleavage product prior to...
