Inteins: nature's gift to protein chemists

NH Shah, TW Muir - Chemical science, 2014 - pubs.rsc.org
Inteins are auto-processing domains found in organisms from all domains of life. These
proteins carry out a process known as protein splicing, which is a multi-step biochemical …

An expanded library of orthogonal split inteins enables modular multi-peptide assemblies

F Pinto, EL Thornton, B Wang - Nature Communications, 2020 - nature.com
Inteins are protein segments capable of joining adjacent residues via a peptide bond. In this
process known as protein splicing, the intein itself is not present in the final sequence, thus …

Protein splicing: how inteins escape from precursor proteins

KV Mills, MA Johnson, FB Perler - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014 - ASBMB
Inteins are nature's escape artists; they facilitate their excision from flanking polypeptides
(exteins) concomitant with extein ligation to produce a mature host protein. Splicing requires …

Protein splicing of inteins: a powerful tool in synthetic biology

H Wang, L Wang, B Zhong, Z Dai - Frontiers in Bioengineering and …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Inteins are protein segments that are capable of enabling the ligation of flanking extein into a
new protein, a process known as protein splicing. Since its discovery, inteins have become …

Posttranslational Protein Modification in Archaea

J Eichler, MWW Adams - Microbiology and Molecular Biology …, 2005 - Am Soc Microbiol
One of the first hurdles to be negotiated in the postgenomic era involves the description of
the entire protein content of the cell, the proteome. Such efforts are presently complicated by …

Inteins, valuable genetic elements in molecular biology and biotechnology

S Elleuche, S Pöggeler - Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2010 - Springer
Inteins are internal protein elements that self-excise from their host protein and catalyze
ligation of the flanking sequences (exteins) with a peptide bond. They are found in …
