A 406 nucleotide long potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd)-specific linear RNA transcript was synthesized in vitro and subjected to limited digestion with ribonuclease (RNase) T1. Under certain conditions this guanosine-specific endoribonuclease proved to be capable of processing the longer-than-unit-length, precursor-like viroid RNA transcript by cleaving out a linear 358 nucleotide long product and ligating that to a circular RNA molecule. The new finding that RNase T1 acts as an RNA processing ...[more]
