Inteins....how is it now that they replicate???--66.191.21.251 04:42, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I know very little about this field however, is it strictly correct to term them parasitic! Since both intein and extein can fulfill normal functions e.g the VME intein in S.Cerevisiae forms part of the vacuolar ATPase. Surely it just presents yet another way to get a protein product from a gene. This is not wholey unlike splicing, where exons can go to form proteins and sometimes introns can be used as snRNAs (i.e. functional products, not always junk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.118.224 (talk) 10:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
