Rare group I intron with insertion sequence element in a bacterial ribonucleotide reductase gene.
A rare group I intron in a cyanobacterial ribonucleotide reductase gene has been characterized. It contains a mobile insertion sequence element not required for RNA splicing. Ribonucleotide reductase genes were found to be hot spots for all three types of self-splicing intervening sequences, including group I and II introns and inteins.
