The 2′-OH group at the group II intron terminus acts as a proton shuttle
2010
Group II introns can act as mobile genomic elements and integrate into genomic DNA through reverse splicing. A selective nucleotide modification approach was used to show that the 2′-hydroxyl at the ribozyme 3′ terminus plays a catalytic role as a proton shuttle during reverse splicing.
