| a group ii intron encodes a functional laglidadg homing endonuclease and self-splices under moderate temperature and ionic conditions. | a group ii intron encoding a protein belonging to the laglidadg family of homing endonucleases was identified in the mitochondrial rns gene of the filamentous fungus leptographium truncatum, and the catalytic activities of both the intron and its encoded protein were characterized. a model of the rna secondary structure indicates that the intron is a member of the iib1 subclass and the open reading frame is inserted in ribozyme domain iii. in vitro assays carried out with two versions of the int ... | 2010 | 20656798 |
