A short partial sequence homology is present at all intron-exon junctions, or splice points, in the chick ovalbumin gene; it is probably a signal for a splicing enzyme. The significance of the junction sequences for splicing is discussed. We find no evidence of strong Watson-Crick base pairing between adjacent junctions.
在鸡卵清蛋白基因的所有内含子-外显子连接处,即剪接位点,都存在一段短的部分序列同源性;它可能是一种剪接酶的信号。文中讨论了连接序列对于剪接的重要性。我们没有发现相邻连接处之间存在强沃森-克里克碱基配对的证据。
