Only the G3A substitution mutant in the catalytic triad of DV was mobile, while the other two mutants were revertants back to G. In DVI, a branch-point nucleotide was found to be essential for mobility.
Although it is specifically the N6 amino group of the branch-point A that is recognized, many lines of evidence suggest that the actual base at the branch site is not required to be an A. Naturally occurring introns have U (11 times), followed by G (5 occurrences) and C (1 occurrence) (Comparative RNA Web Site database: http://www.rna.icmb.utexas.edu/).
More recent support for this upstream weak or non pairing with simultaneous downstream pairing, was observed in all lariat forming group II introns in barley chloroplasts [ 23 ] . Here 13/16 introns lacked Watson-Crick pairing above the branch-point A and G:C was the downstream base pair whenever there was an upstream A:C, A:G or G:G.
A deletion mutant of the branch-point A (ΔA54), along with the other three substitution mutants A54G, A54C and A54U were tested.
In aI5γ, G and U at the branch-point were found to allow for some branching to occur [ 22 ] . Also, it was observed that even if the branch-point residue was paired, it did not have a large effect on splicing efficiency and no effect on the choice of the branch site [ 20 ] .
