Exon coconversion biases accompanying intron homing: battle of the nucleases.

abstract：:Recombination catalyzed by the Flp site-specific recombinase involves breakage and joining of four DNA strands between two target substrates. The reaction is carried out in two steps of pairwise strand exchanges by a DNA-protein assembly in which four Flp monomers act cooperatively to execute strand cleavage and joini...

abstract：:Pcf11 is one of numerous proteins involved in pre-mRNA 3'-end processing and transcription termination. Using elongation complexes (ECs) formed from purified yeast RNA polymerase II (Pol II), we show that a 140-amino acid polypeptide from yeast Pcf11 is capable of dismantling the EC in vitro. This action depends on th...
