Nested Evolution of a tRNA(Leu)(UAA) Group I Intron by both Horizontal Intron Transfer and Recombination of the Entire tRNA Locus

The origin and evolution of bacterial introns are still controversial issues. Here we present data on the distribution and evolution of a recently discovered divergent tRNA(Leu)(UAA) intron. The intron shows a higher sequence affiliation with introns in tRNA(Ile)(CAU) and tRNA(Arg)(CCU) genes in α-...
