Abstract

Sulfhydrolysis of cytosine residues to 4-thiouracil residues in mouse U6 snRNA was carried out to examine the secondary structure of U6 snRNA. The cytosine residues at positions 6, 42 and 68 were modified significantly, and at positions 11, 19 (or/and 25), 61 and 66 in moderate extent. Based on the result, the plausible secondary structure of U6 snRNA is discussed.
