How can you use “spliceosomal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
1), we determined the association of G-rich regions in 1434 fungal SSU rRNAs and 880 fungal LSU rRNAs with all reported spliceosomal introns in these genes.
More importantly, inspection of the 1800 nt alignment of SSU rRNAs and 3554 nt of LSU rRNAs of all fungi, of fungi containing spliceosomal introns, and of fungi lacking spliceosomal introns shows that most of the introns are inserted between nucleotides that are 99-100% conserved (whether they encode G - G or not) in taxa containing introns and sister groups lacking introns (Table 2).
92 spliceosomal introns are from 16S rRNA and 29 are from 23S rRNA; the lengths of these introns range from 49 to 292 nucleotides.
Group II introns were first identified in fungal mitochondria and grouped on the basis of their secondary structures [ 2 4 5 ] . They have been found in organelle genomes of fungi and plants and also in a number of bacteria [ 6 ] . None have been found in animals, although it has been suggested that group II introns may be progenitors of nuclear spliceosomal introns based on similarities between nuclear pre-mRNA splicing in eukaryotes and the splicing mechanism used by group II introns [ 7 8 ] .
We find that in contrast to the spliceosomal introns in rRNA, group I intron insertion sites show a stronger positive association with highly conserved rRNA regions (Fig.
