Hydroxylamine (HA) mutagenesis of an HA-induced splicing-defective bacteriophage T4 td intron mutant with a mutation in the intron P3 RNA pairing region was used to generate pseudorevertants. Because HA can only cause GC to AT transitions, the original mutant (H104A) could not undergo true reversion, yet the compensatory mutation on the opposite side of the P3 helix, which was complementary to the original H104A mutation, could occur. A pseudorevertant was isolated that contained both the original H104A mutation and the compensatory mutation HS9. By phenotypic and molecular genetic criteria, this double mutant (H104A-HS9) was shown to be able to undergo significant RNA splicing, thus confirming the existence and functional importance of the long-range P3 pairing region in this phage intron. The second-site suppressor mutation (HS9) was isolated by phage cross and also exhibited some self-splicing ability. A correlation exists between the strength of P3 helix Watson-Crick base pairing and the apparent level of splicing when wild-type, H104A, HS9, and H104A-HS9 are compared. This suggests that the primary role of the P3 RNA pairing region in the T4 td intron is structural in contributing to the critical RNA secondary structure.
