Independently Found By Independently identified as a theoretical intein in Gorbalenya 98.
Comments The Ssp DnaE intein is a split intein capable of protein trans-splicing. Homolog of the catalytic alpha subunit of E. coli DNA polymerase III. The C-terminal penultimate His residue is replaced by Ala.
See AF545504.1 which is optimized for plant codons (Yang 03).BLOCKS A & B ARE IN Fragment N AND BLOCKS F & G ARE IN Fragment C.
