Introns

Another spliceosome, composed of U11, U12, U4atac/U6atac and U5 snRNPs, splices a small subset of GU-AG introns. Its principal activity is the splicing of introns with AU and AC 5' and 3' ends, respectively.

Introns are sections of DNA that will be spliced out after transcription, but before the RNA is used. Introns are common in eukaryotic RNAs of all types, but are found in prokaryotic tRNA and rRNA genes only.

Introns sometimes allow for alternative splicing of a gene, so that several different proteins that share some sections in common can be produced from a single gene.

Introns are sequences of DNA that interrupt a gene, but do not code for anything. The coding portions of a gene are called exons.

The introns in most pre-mRNAs begin with a GU and end with an AG. Presumably these short sequences assist in guiding the spliceosome.

Intron: Introns are portions of genomic DNA which are transcribed (and thus present in the primary transcript) but which are later spliced out. They thus are not present in the mature mRNA.

In both species, the gene consists of 19 exons and 18 introns spanning greater than 15 kbp of sequence. The coding regions across the entire gene are 84% and 92% identical at the nucleic acid and amino acid levels respectively.

The situation is more complicated for eukaryotic genes, which often contain one or more noncoding regions (introns). To find ORFs in these genes, the introns are removed in a process called splicing (Fig. 3).

Most, but not all structural eukaryote genes contain introns. Although transcribed, these introns are excised (cut out) before translation (a seemingly energy inefficient process).

Moreover, the genes are often fragmented internally by non-coding sequences called introns, which can be many times longer than the genes themselves. Introns are removed on the heels of transcription by splicing.

Eukaryotic genes contain introns but bacteria do not contain the necessary enzymes to remove introns, so eukaryotic genes that are inserted into bacteria must be inserted without introns.
