Abstract
Processing of the 3' end of sea urchin H3 histone pre-mRNA requires conserved sequence elements and the presence of U7 snRNA. A mutation in the conserved CAAGAAGA sequence of the H3 pre-mRNA that renders 3' processing of this precursor defective is shown to be suppressed by a compensatory change in the U7 snRNA, restoring the base-pairing potential of the two RNAs. RNA-RNA contacts between these two molecules appear to be an essential feature of the 3' processing reaction.Keywords
