Archaea are more hospitable hosts for mobile inteins than bacteria
ABSTRACT Intervening proteins, or inteins, are mobile genetic elements characterized by their ability to rearrange peptide bonds through a post-translational, self-splicing reaction. Here, we expand the scope of a prior investigation to reexamine the distribution of inteins across archaea and bacteria. This update repr...
