RNA splicing, via transesterification reactions with bulged adenosine as nucleophile

id: GO:0000377
name: RNA splicing, via transesterification reactions with bulged adenosine as nucleophile
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Splicing of RNA via a series of two transesterification reactions with a bulged adenosine residue from the intron branch point as the initiating nucleophile. When the initial RNA for the splicing reaction is a single molecule (cis splicing), the excised intron is released in a lariat structure.
