Inteins in Microbial Genomes: Distribution, Mechanism, and Function
Inteins are self-splicing protein elements (134 to 608 amino acids). Over 125 inteins have been cataloged in InBase, the on-line intein database (http://www.neb.com/neb/inteins.html), which includes the Intein Registry[1]. Inteins naturally present in pathogenic microbes represent novel, yet unexplo...
