▪ Abstract Inteins are genetic elements that disrupt the coding sequence of genes. However,
in contrast to introns, inteins are transcribed and translated together with their host protein …

Inteins (protein introns) are internal portions of protein sequences that are posttranslationally
excised while the flanking regions are spliced together, making an additional protein …

Inteins are mobile genetic elements capable of self-splicing post-translationally. They exist
in all three domains of life including in viruses and bacteriophage, where they have a …

Inteins are protein 'introns' found inside other proteins. They remove themselves from their
host proteins post-translationally in an autoproteolytic protein-splicing reaction [1]. Besides …

▪ Abstract Intein is the protein equivalent of intron and has been discovered in increasing
numbers of organisms and host proteins. A self-splicing intein catalyzes its own removal …

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 …

Following their initial discovery, introns and RNA splicing were considered, along with the
nuclear envelope, as characteristics that distinguish eukaryotes from prokaryotes (the …

Inteins, also called protein introns, are self-splicing mobile elements found in all domains of
life. A bioinformatic survey of genomic data highlights a biased distribution of inteins among …

Previous analyses have shown that inteins (protein splicing elements) employ two structural
organizations: the 'canonical'nintein-dod-inteinc found in dozens of inteins and a 'non …

Inteins are selfish DNA elements found within coding regions. They are translated with their
host protein, but then catalyze their own excision and the formation of a peptide bond …
