The Fugu HMG-box sequences are nearly identical to mammalian TOX HMG-boxes, and the exon/intron boundary encoding the box is at the characteristic position (Fig.
Support for the observations in this report comes from work by Chu et al ., 2001 [ 22 ] on the aI5γ intron, in which they propose that a 4 bp stem 3' of the branch-point is one of the determinants for branch-point activation.
While more than 80% of the documented rRNA genes do not have an intron, 646 16S and 182 23S rRNAs have at least one intron.
Moreover, two recent comparative sequence analyses using monocots versus Arabidopsis [ 29] and dicots versus Arabidopsis [ 11] clearly showed that exon sizes are well conserved in homeologs even between monocots and dicots, whereas intron length varied in rice versus barley and tomato versus Arabidopsis . In BLAST searches using either the processed nucleotide sequence or the predicted protein sequence of an Arabidopsis gene, the score of each BLAST match was clearly higher and the E -value was significantly lower when compared to the use of either non-processed nucleotide sequence or intergenic nucleotide sequence.
In some cases more than one intron was unspliced; for example, in one interesting case only one intron was spliced in the RIKEN transcript (gi: 15146259), whereas four introns were spliced from the corresponding Ceres transcript (Ceres:3992, corresponding to gene At2g35520).
