Abstract excerpt
Pre-mRNA encoding rubisco activase in the Arabidopsis thaliana mutant rca contains a GU to AU change at the 5' splice site of intron 3 and this mutation results in accumulation of splicing intermediates bearing an incompletely processed intron. It has been demonstrated that one of the intermediates contains intron 3 in the form of a lariat and the branchpoint nucleotide has been mapped to the A residue at...
