Group II Introns Designed to Insert into Therapeutically Relevant DNA Target Sites in Human Cells
21 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Mobile group II intron RNAs insert directly into DNA target sites and are then reverse-transcribed into genomic DNA by the associated intron-encoded protein. Target site recognition involves modifiable base-pairing interactions between the intron RNA and a >14-nucleotide region of the DNA target site, as well as fixed interactions between the protein and flanking regions. Here, we developed a highly efficient...
