Group II and group III introns of twintrons: potential relationships with nuclear pre-mRNA introns
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1993Two new and important features of introns have emerged from analysis of the Euglena gracilis chloroplast genome. One is a new class of introns, designated group III, that may be the closest contemporaries to nuclear pre-mRNA introns. The second is introns that are interrupted by other introns termed twintrons.

Group
Group II introns are catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) and retroelements found in the genomes of bacteria, archaebacteria, and organelles of some eukaryotes. The prototypical retroelement form consists of a structurally conserved RNA and a multidomain reverse transcriptase protein, which interact with each other to mediate splicing and mobility reactions.

[8] Reactions catalyzed by group II introns in Vitro
1996Publisher Summary This chapter discusses experimental methods that are used in studies of self-splicing group II introns. Group II introns are found in organelle DNAs of fungi and photosynthetic eukaryotes and in bacterial genomes. The conserved secondary structures of group II introns consist of six substructures or domains, D1 through D6. There are

Conformation of the Group II Intron Branch Site in Solution
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2006Group II introns are multidomain ribozymes that catalyze their own removal from pre-mRNA. The nucleophile for the first cleavage step is the 2'OH of a specific adenosine within domain 6 (D6), called the branch site. Mechanistic parallels and limited secondary structural similarity with the eukaryotic spliceosome lead many to speculate that the two ...

Group II introns: structure, folding and splicing mechanism
bchm, 2007Abstract Group II introns are large autocatalytic RNAs found in organellar genomes of plants and lower eukaryotes, as well as in some bacterial genomes. Interestingly, these ribozymes share characteristic traits with both spliceosomal introns and non-LTR retrotransposons and may have a common evolutionary ancestor.

[36] Sequences and classification of group I and group II introns
1989Publisher Summary This chapter presents sequences and classification of group I and group II introns. The splicing of precursor RNAs (preRNAs) containing group I introns proceeds by a two-step transesterification mechanism, initiated by attack of the 3′-hydroxyl group of a free guanosine nucleotide on the 5′ splice site.
