Targeted DNA ADP-ribosylation triggers templated repair in bacteria and base mutagenesis in eukaryotes
4 Sept 2025
Abstract excerpt
Base editors create precise genomic edits by directing nucleobase deamination or removal without inducing double-stranded DNA breaks. However, a vast chemical space of other DNA modifications remains to be explored for genome editing. Here we harness the bacterial antiphage toxin DarT2 to append ADP-ribosyl moieties to DNA, unlocking distinct editing outcomes in bacteria versus eukaryotes. Fusing an attenuated...
