摘要: An intein from Halobacterium salinarum can be isolated as an unspliced precursor protein with exogenous exteins after Escherichia coli overexpression. The promotes splicing and uncoupled N-terminal cleavage in vitro, conditional on incubation NaCl or KCl at concentrations of >1.5 M. reaction also is reduction a disulfide bond between two active site cysteines. Conditional under these relatively mild conditions may lead to advances intein-based biotechnology applications hints the possibility that this H. could serve switch control extein activity physiologically relevant conditions.
