Abstract

We have previously shown, using phosphorothioate substitutions at splice site, that both transesterification steps of group II intron self-splicing proceed, by stereochemical inversion, with an Sp but not an Rp phosphorothioate. Under alternative reaction conditions or with various intron fragments, group II introns can splice following hydrolysis at the 5' splice site and can also hydrolyze the bond between spliced exons (the spliced-exon reopening reaction). In this study, we have determined the stereochemical specificities of all of the major model hydrolytic reactions carried out by the aI5 gamma intron from Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria. For all substrates containing exon 1 and most of the intron, the stereospecificity of hydrolysis is the same as for the step 1 transesterification reaction. In contrast, the spliced-exon reopening reaction proceeds with an Rp but not an Sp phosphorothioate at the scissile bond, as does true reverse splicing. Thus, by stereochemistry, this reaction appears to be related to the reverse of step 2 of self-splicing. Finally, a substrate RNA that contains the first exon and nine nucleotides of the intron, when reacted with the intron ribozyme, releases the first exon regardless of the co...Continue Reading

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.
