| Abstract: | We have analysed 998 Arabidopsis intron sequences in the EMBL database. All Arabidopsis introns to adhere to the :GU...AG: rule with the exception of 1% of introns with :GC at their 5 ends. Virtually all of the introns contained a putative branchpoint sequence (YUNAN) 18 to 60 nt upstream of the 3 splice site. Although a polypyrimidine tract was much less apparent than in vertebrate introns, the most common nucleotide in the region upstream of the 3 splice site was uridine. Consensus sequences for 5 and 3 splice sites and branchpoint sequences for Arabidopsis introns are presented. |
