Reactive Chlorine Species Reversibly Inhibit DnaB Protein Splicing in Mycobacteria

Abstract excerpt

Inteins are both widespread and abundant in microbes, including within several bacterial and fungal pathogens. Inteins are domains translated within host proteins and removed at the protein level by splicing. Traditionally considered molecular parasites, some inteins have emerged in recent years as adaptive posttranslational regulatory elements. Several studies have demonstrated CPS, in which the rate and...
