GO TERM SUMMARY
|
Name: |
second spliceosomal transesterification activity |
Acc: |
GO:0000386 |
Aspect: |
Molecular Function |
Desc: |
Catalysis of the second transesterification reaction of spliceosomal mRNA splicing. Ligation of the two exons occurs via a transesterification reaction where the free 3'-hydroxyl group of the 5' exon is the nucleophile attacking the 3' splice site. Non-expressed sequences are now detached from the exons. In cis splicing, the intron is in a lariat structure. |
Synonyms:
- 3'-splice site cleavage, exon ligation
- lariat formation, 5'-splice site cleavage
