Catalysis by the intervening sequence in Tetrahymena preribosomal RNA

Catalysis by the intervening sequence in Tetrahymena preribosomal RNA
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: a. Self-excision and splicing of the intervening sequence (IVS). Note that a pGOH is added in the reaction.

A series of further steps reduces the IVS to L-19 IVS.

b. Conversion of 2C5 to C4 + C6 by L-19 IVS.

This oligonucleotide can itself either shorten or elongate small oligonucleotides, acting here as a true ribozyme catalyst.
