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 possi...
