Description | Group II introns are widespread in plant cell organelles [ ]. In vivo, most plant group II introns do not self-splice, but require the assistance of proteinaceous splicing factors, known as maturases. In higher plants, maturases are encoded for in the nuclear genes [], but are otherwise encoded by organellar introns. This entry represents a sequence region known as domain X, which is conserved in group II introns [ ] and is required for maturase function []. |
