Intein — An intein is a segment of a protein that is able to excise itself and rejoin the remaining portions (the exteins) with a peptide bond. Inteins have also been called protein introns . [cite journal |author=Anraku Y, Mizutani R, Satow Y… … Wikipedia
Protein splicing — is an intramolecular reaction of a particular protein in which an internal protein segment (called an intein) is removed from a precursor protein with a ligation of C terminal and N terminal external proteins (called exteins) on both sides. The… … Wikipedia
Intragenomic conflict — The selfish gene theory postulates that natural selection will increase the frequency of those genes whose phenotypic effects ensure their successful replication. Generally, a gene achieves this goal by building, in cooperation with other genes,… … Wikipedia
Intein — Ein Intein ist ein Segment eines Proteins, das sich selbst (autokatalytisch) aus diesem ausschneiden und die verbleibenden Stücke (Exteine) wieder durch eine Peptidbindung verknüpfen kann. Die meisten Inteine beinhalten eine Endonukleasedomäne,… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Meganuclease — Meganucleases are endodeoxyribonucleases characterized by a large recognition site (double stranded DNA sequences of 12 to 40 base pairs); as a result this site generally occurs only once in any given genome. For example, the 18 base pair… … Wikipedia

RNA splicing — In molecular biology and genetics, splicing is a modification of an RNA after transcription, in which introns are removed and exons are joined. This is needed for the typical eukaryotic messenger RNA before it can be used to produce a correct… … Wikipedia
