Term Name: second spliceosomal transesterification activity Search Ontology:
Synonyms:
  • 3'-splice site cleavage, exon ligation
  • lariat formation, 5'-splice site cleavage
Definition: 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. (2)
