Homing of a bacterial group II intron with an intron‐encoded protein lacking a recognizable endonuclease domain

RmInt1 is a functional group II intron found in Sinorhizobium meliloti where it interrupts a group of IS elements of the IS630‐Tc1 family. In contrast to many other group II introns, the intron‐encoded protein (IEP) of RmInt1 lacks the characteristic conserved part of the Zn domain associated with t...
