蛋白质内含子的特征、转移和演化

Recent Advance in the Study of Intein

自从 1990年发现第一个蛋白质内含子 ,就引起了有关专家的高度重视 ,蛋白质内含子不仅在理论上丰富了遗传信息翻译后加工的内容 ,而且实践上在蛋白质纯化方面有着广泛的应用前景 .鉴于蛋白质内含子的不断发现 ,有必要对其在自我剪切 ,传递 ,演化等方面的进展做一概述 .

Since the first intein was found, more and more attention were paid on it. It not only enrichs the content of the process that the gene transfers its information but also can be used in protein purification. The recent advance in the sequence characteristic, transfer, evolution and the mechanism of splicing of intein was summarized.
