Abstract

Previously reported results showed that the BmKK2's intron could be recognized and spliced in cultured HEK 293T cells. At the same time, a cryptic splicing site of BmKK2 gene was found in the second exon. Moreover, replacing BmKK2's intron with BmP03's intron (an artificial BmKK2‐BmP03 mosaic gene) did not affect the intron's recognition and splicing, but increased the expression level of the toxin‐GFP fusion protein (Cao et al., J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2006;20:1–6). In this investigation, the BmKK2's intron with 79 nucleotides length was artificially shifted from the 49th nt (the 17th Gly codon between the first base and the second base) to the 100th nt (the 34th Gly codon between the first base and the second base). Based on the constructed intron‐splicing system, the results of RT‐PCR and the western blotting analysis showed that the BmKK2's shifted‐intron (named BmKK2‐s) was not recognized and spliced correctly, but the cryptic splicing site of BmKK2 gene was still spliced in the second exon, which possibly indicated that locations of introns were very important to the recognition and splicing of introns, and splicing of introns was very much associated with the corresponding upstream and downstream exons. This result possibly provides evidence for splice‐site recognition across the exons. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
