Independently Found By Also submitted by Shmuel Pietrokovski (5/16/97).
Comments Dna X is related to RFC, but the inteins are not in the same position (Liu).
Called SPC pol III in Dalgaard 1997.
A DOD family homing endonuclease is present between Blocks B and F in a different reading frame than the intein splicing domain (Gorbalenya 1998)
