Group II introns are mobile ribozymes that self-splice from precursor RNAs to yield excised
intron lariat RNAs, which then invade new genomic DNA sites by reverse splicing. The …

▪ Abstract Mobile group II introns, found in bacterial and organellar genomes, are both
catalytic RNAs and retrotransposable elements. They use an extraordinary mobility …

Present in the genomes of bacteria and eukaryotic organelles, group II introns are an
ancient class of ribozymes and retroelements that are believed to have been the ancestors …

Group II introns are remarkable mobile retroelements that use the combined activities of an
autocatalytic RNA and an intron‐encoded reverse transcriptase (RT) to propagate efficiently …

Mobile group II introns are site-specific retroelements that use a novel mobility mechanism in
which the excised intron RNA inserts directly into a DNA target site and is then reverse …

The self-transmissible megaplasmid pHG1 carries essential genetic information for the
facultatively lithoautotrophic and facultatively anaerobic lifestyles of its host, the Gram …

Group II introns are large, autocatalytic ribozymes that catalyze RNA splicing and
retrotransposition. Splicing by group II introns plays a major role in the metabolism of plants …

Mobile group II introns are bacterial retrotransposons that combine the activities of an
autocatalytic intron RNA (a ribozyme) and an intron-encoded reverse transcriptase to insert …

Group II introns are large, natural catalytic RNAs or ribozymes that were discovered in
organelles of certain protists, fungi, algae, and plants and more recently also in prokaryotic …

Group II intron retrohoming occurs by a mechanism in which the intron RNA reverse splices
directly into one strand of a double-stranded DNA target site, while the intron-encoded …
