<i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> Prp8 Intein: An In Vivo Target-Based Drug Screening System in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> to Identify Protein Splicing Inhibitors and Explore Its Dynamics
Inteins are genetic mobile elements that are inserted within protein-coding genes, which are usually housekeeping genes. They are transcribed and translated along with the host gene, then catalyze their own splicing out of the host protein, which assumes its functional conformation thereafter. As Pr...
