Methylation of rRNA as a host defense against rampant group II intron retrotransposition
BACKGROUND: Group II introns are mobile retroelements, capable of invading new sites in DNA. They are self-splicing ribozymes that complex with an intron-encoded protein to form a ribonucleoprotein that targets DNA after splicing. These molecules can invade DNA site-specifically, through a process k...
