Nanoarchaeum equitans Kin4-M 1 Neq pol 2 DNA polymerase family B (archaeal polA gene) - pol-c 3 (7)
Totals:
99 different species and strains.
24 eukaryotes (20 in unicellular organisms, 3 in plastids and 1 in viruses),
50 bacteria (4 in bacterio- and pro- phages),
25 archaea.
216 inteins 2 46 types of protein family hosts 5.
187 separate proteins with inteins:
150 with a single intein,
14 pairs each with one split intein 2,
18 with 2 inteins,
3 with 3 inteins,
1 with 4 inteins, and
1 pair: one with two and half inteins and the other with half of an intein (the two halves being parts of a split intein)
2 known EN domain types1, 47 inteins without an EN domain 71 different integration points, 36 with more than one allele

1 Known intein endonuclease (EN) domain types: DOD - dodecapeptide (LAGLI-DADG) and HNH (see Belfort and Roberts '97).
2 Cyanobacterial DnaEs and Nanoarchaeum equitans pol are split inteins - the N' and C' parts of the inteins are found on different protein molecules (e.g., the N' and C' parts of the DNA polymerase III a subunit [DnaE or PolC], respectively, and the pol1 and pol2 N' and C' parts of the Neq DNA polymerase type B). These two molecules are probably trans protein-spliced to form the mature DnaE or PolA proteins.
3The intein integration points in the type B DNA polymerases have been renamed on April '99. I joined the NEB Intein database and renamed the integration points according the type B DNA polymerase domain in which they are present. See positions of inteins in their host proteins. Integration point pol-a was used to be called here pol-c, pol-b was used to be called pol-a and pol-c was used to be called pol-b. The colors of the integartion points are unchanged.
4 Interpro family UPF0027 (E.coli rtcB homologs) was previously named here "hyp2". The function of these proteins is still unknown but now they are named and better characterized. Details can be found in Genschik, Drabikowski & Filipowicz, J Biol Chem 273:25516-25526 (1998).
5 In counting the types of protein families with inteins DNA reverse gyrases are grouped together with Topoisomerase type I, Replication factor C, 37 Kd subunits are grouped together with DNA pol-3 t subunits, and translation initiation factor bIF-2 are grouped together with EF2 translation elongation and release factors.


See additional information on inteins listed by host protein.
