Abstract
In order to find new nuclear encoded proteins that assist group II splicing, we screened a complete knockout library of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain BY4741 consisting of 4878 viable haploid clones. The strain contains a rho+ mitochondrial genome with a set of 13 introns including the three group II introns (aI1, aI2, aI5γ) in the gene encoding cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit 1 (COX1) and the single group II intron (bI1) in the gene encoding cytochrome b (CYTB). In our screen and initial molecular analysis, we focus on intron aI5γ, the last intron in the COX1 gene.
