| Abstract |
Over the past decade split inteins have established themselves as powerful tools for protein engineering, protein semisynthesis, and protein functional control approaches. Their key advantage lies in the protein trans-splicing (PTS) reaction that enables posttranslational protein assembly from two independent, even synthetic, peptide precursors. However, since most split intein applications deal with fragmentation and modification of proteins, various issues can arise, ranging from reduced stability to impairment of protein folding. In this chapter I address how the usage of DNA encoded intein cassettes can streamline and speed up the identification of functional split intein insertion sites in novel proteins of interest (POI). |
