Abstract excerpt
DddA-derived cytosine base editors (DdCBEs) greatly facilitated the basic and therapeutic research of mitochondrial DNA mutation diseases. Here we devise a saturated spacer library and successfully identify seven DddA homologs by performing high-throughput sequencing based screen. DddAs of Streptomyces sp. BK438 and Lachnospiraceae bacterium sunii NSJ-8 display high deaminase activity with a strong GC context...
