Example sentences for: inteins

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

  • The A-ATPase and the V-ATPase inteins are located in the most conserved part of the host gene.

  • This phenomenon, called protein splicing, was first discovered about a decade ago in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae V-ATPase catalytic subunit A [ 6 7 ] . Intein excision depends on the splicing domain of the intein and the first amino acid residue of the C-extein [ 8 ] . The inteins known to date are between 134 and 608 amino acids long, and they have been reported from all three domains of life: eukaryotes, eubacteria and archaea.

  • Inteins are also present in the A subunit of the A-type ATPases of Thermoplasma acidophilum, T. volcanium, Pyrococcus abysii, P. horikoshii and P. furiosus.

  • The sequences removed during splicing are called inteins (short for internal protein); the portions of the host protein are termed exteins (external protein) [ 3 4 5 ] .

  • Moreover, these inteins are inserted into the same highly conserved sequence in the ATP binding site.
