MeSH definition : The excision of in-frame internal protein sequences (INTEINS) of a precursor protein,
coupled with ligation of the flanking sequences (EXTEINS). Protein splicing is an
autocatalytic reaction and results in the production of two proteins from a single
primary translation product: the intein and the mature protein.;
MeSH synonym : protein splicings; splicing, protein; splicings, protein;
