GO:0000363DefinitionCatalysis of the first transesterification reaction of U12-type spliceosomal mRNA splicing. The intron branch site adenosine is the nucleophile attacking the 5' splice site, resulting in cleavage at this position. In cis splicing, this is the step that forms a lariat structure of the intron RNA, which is still joined to the 3' exon. The catalytic site is thought to be formed by U6atac snRNA and/or U2atac snRNA, and/or associated proteins.
