Protein splicing and related forms of protein autoprocessing.

Abstract excerpt

Protein splicing is a form of posttranslational processing that consists of the excision of an intervening polypeptide sequence, the intein, from a protein, accompanied by the concomitant joining of the flanking polypeptide sequences, the exteins, by a peptide bond. It requires neither cofactors nor auxiliary enzymes and involves a series of four intramolecular reactions, the first three of which occur at a...
