Example sentences for: intein

How can you use “intein” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The structure of the bovine mitochondrial F 1 -ATPase has been determined by X-ray crystallography [ 30 ] . The intein insertion points in the yeasts' V-ATPase and the Thermoplasma and Pyrococcus A-ATPases correspond to the catalytic site where the ATP binds and is hydrolyzed during the catalytic cycle.
A more variable sequence surrounding the integration point would restrict homing to members of the same species, and would thus lower the chances for long term survival of the intein.
In contrast, a sequence alignment of all known inteins shows intein sequences to be much more divergent (not shown).
The small intein in the Thermoplasma A-ATPase is closely related to the endonuclease containing intein in the Pyrococcus A-ATPase.
One explanation for the discrepancy between phylogenetic classification and distribution of the A-ATPase intein is horizontal gene transfer: the intein was not present in the last common ancestor of Thermoplasma and Pyrococcus, rather the intein invaded one of the lineages after their split and was more recently horizontally transferred to the other lineage.
