The open reading frame in the first intron of the mitochondrial gene encoding subunit I of cytochrome c oxidase encodes a maturase and stimulates homologous recombination in Escherichia coli. In this paper, we demonstrate that this intron is mobile in crosses, indicating that it also encodes an endonuclease. This is the first report on an intron which possesses mobility and acts as a maturase.
细胞色素c氧化酶亚基I的线粒体基因第一个内含子中的开放阅读框编码一种成熟酶,并在大肠杆菌中刺激同源重组。在本文中,我们证明了这个内含子在杂交中是可移动的,这表明它也编码一种内切核酸酶。这是关于一个具有可移动性并作为成熟酶的内含子的首次报道。
