Syntheses of ai5γ group II intron lariat RNA. The two-step RNA substrates include a stem to favor natural lariat formation. For the one-step synthesis and for the first step of the two-step synthesis, t = 0, 0.5, and 1.5 h using the 7S11 deoxyribozyme. For the second step of the two-step synthesis, t = 10 and 60 min using T4 RNA ligase (– denotes PAGE-purified branched RNA incubated without T4 RNA ligase). Samples were analyzed by 5% PAGE.
