Abstract excerpt
Splicing of the group I intron aI5 beta from the yeast mitochondrial COX1 transcript requires at least four proteins, encoded by the nuclear genes PET54, MRS1/PET157, SUV3 and MSS18. These proteins either act directly to facilitate intron aI5 beta excision, or indirectly in some manner. One possible indirect mode of action of these nuclear gene products is in stimulation of expression of a mitochondrial protein,...
