RESUMO
Previous analyses have shown that inteins (protein splicing elements) employ two structural organizations: the 'canonical' Nintein-Dod-inteinC found in dozens of inteins and a 'non-canonical' Nintein-inteinC described in two inteins, where Nintein at the N-terminus and inteinC at the C-terminus are conserved domains involved in self-splicing and Dod is the Dod DNA endonuclease (DNase). In this study, four non-canonical inteins, each with unique structural features, have been identified using alignment-based Hidden Markov Models. A Nintein-inteinC intein, carrying an unprecedented replacement of the N-terminal catalytic Cys(Ser) by Ala, is described in a putative ATPase encoded by Methanococcus jannaschii . Three replicative proteins of Synechocystis spp. contain inteins with the organizations: (i) Nintein minus X minus inteinC over Dod, where X is an uncharacterized domain and Dod DNase is located in an alternative open reading frame (ORF) being embedded between two novel CG and YK domains; (ii) Nintein-HN-inteinC, where HN stands for phage-like DNase from the EX1H-HX3H family; (iii) Nintein>|
