Description 289-293
We describe in this review, the salient splicing features of group I
introns of bac teriophage T4 and propose, a hypothetical model to fit in the
self-splicing of nrdB intron ofT4 phage. Occurrence of non-coding
sequences in prokaryotic cells is a rare event while it is common in
ellkaryotic cells, especially the higher eukaryotes. Therefore. T4
bacteriophage can serve as a good model system to study the evoluti onary
aspects of splicing of introns. Three genes of T4 phage were found to have st
retches of non-coding sequences which belonged to the group IA type introns of
self-splicing nature.
