Rosbash, 1992). However, different compilations of mation: yeast introns have yielded conflicting exon consensus patterns (Csank et al., 1990; Rymond and Rosbash, Rs (i) 2 fblog2 (fb) e (n), 1992). The entire sequence of the yeast genome (Goffeau et al., 1996) now permits one to examine all the where fb and e (n) are the frequency of nucleotides and a correction term for sample size (n)(Schneider et al., information for this organism. In doing so, we find a hitherto unnoticed consensus pattern near the bound- 1986). There is no conservation in the exon (positions 1 to aries of the exons and suggest that this pattern is the result of the interaction of the exon sequence with a 10) to the 3 side of the splice site. However, significant conservation appears in the 5 exon at positions 2, small nuclear RNA (snRNA). Among the several snRNAs involved in the splicing 3, and 4, evident both in the information content and in the frequencies. To identify a consensus, we take as process, U5 is thought to interact with 5 exon sequences to help define 5 splice sites (reviewed by a criterion that a single base should represent at least 40% of the total. Thus, we define an S. cerevisiae exon Steitz, 1992; Horowitz and Krainer, 1994). Wyatt et al.(1992) demonstrated that the mammalian U5 snRNA can consensus for the splice site as A47A53A44N N (the subscripts show the actual percentages of the bases and be cross-linked to the region upstream of the 5 splice sites and that Watson–Crick pairing to the 5 exon is the bar “” shows the intron position). This consensus is clearly different from those derived before, using smaller not required. However, in S. cerevisiae, Newman and Norman (1992) found such a pairing between U5 and samples: T44G50 N in Csank et al.(1990) from 18 introns, and (G/A) 74 N in Rymond and Rosbash (1992) from 54 the 2 and 3 exon positions. Recently, O’Keefe et al.(1996) showed in vitro that mutations involving the loop introns. A biological role for this consensus would be in a I region of U5 do not abolish the first catalytic step of intron splicing reaction but affect the second catalytic pairing of the 5 exon sequence to an snRNA. Newman and Norman (1992) demonstrated that nucleotides 5 and step. Furthermore, their in vivo experiments showed that all such mutations are lethal. Sontheimer and Steitz 6 in the highly conserved loop I of U5 snRNA pair with bases 2 and 3 in the 5 exon sequence of the mRNA,(1993) demonstrated that U5 continues to hold the 5 exon throughout the splicing reaction. Hence, O’Keefe based on the suppression of point mutations. The sequence of loop I is (from positions 1 to 9)-GCCUUUUAC. et al. argue that the role of the loop I of U5 is to tether the free 5 exon after the first splicing step in the correct Thus, the 2 and 3 positions in the exon, which have a consensus AA, could form Watson–Crick base-pairings orientation for a nucleophilic attack at the 3 splice site in the second catalytic step. Nonetheless, it is not clear with nucleotides 5 and 6. The 4 exon consensus A is also complementary to nucleotide 7 in the loop, although how an interaction between loop I of U5 and the end of the 5 exon could occur, because the sequence of loop an actual pairing would have to be proved by experiment. I is highly conserved while exon sequences are variable. By scanning the Saccharomyces Genome Database, This biological model of partial pairing between U5 and the exon sequences could be satisfied through ranwe constructed an intron/exon subdatabase that contains all the introns for S. cerevisiae, using programs dom matching of a few bases at each site or could involvespecificsequences. Thus, weaskediftherewere from Long …
