摘要： Introns, as important vectors of biological functions, can influence many stages of mRNA metabolism. However, in recent research, post-spliced introns are rarely considered. In this study, the optimal matched regions between introns and their mRNAs in nine model organism genomes were investigated with improved Smith-Waterman local alignment software. Our results showed that the distributions of mRNA optimal matched frequencies were highly consistent or universal. There are optimal matched frequency peaks in the UTR regions, which are obvious, especially in the 3 '-UTR. The matched frequencies are relatively low in the CDS regions of the mRNA. The distributions of the optimal matched frequencies around the functional sites are also remarkably changed. The centers of the GC content distributions for different sequences are different. The matched rate distributions are highly consistent and are located mainly between 60% and 80%. The most probable value of the optimal matched segments is about 20 bp for lower eukaryotes and 30 bp for higher eukaryotes. These results show that there are abundant functional units in the introns, and these functional units are correlated structurally with all kinds of sequences of mRNA. The interaction between the post-spliced introns and their corresponding mRNAs may play a key role in gene expression.
