Abstract excerpt
DNA base editing technologies predominantly utilize engineered deaminases, limiting their ability to edit thymine and guanine directly. In this study, we successfully achieve base editing of both cytidine and thymine by leveraging the translesion DNA synthesis pathway through the engineering of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG). Employing structure-based rational design, exploration of homologous proteins, and...
