Abstract excerpt
DddA-derived cytosine base editor (DdCBE) couples transcription activator-like effector (TALE) arrays and the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)-specific cytidine deaminase DddA to target mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for editing. However, structures of DdCBE in action are unavailable, impeding its mechanistic-based optimization for high-precision-demanding therapeutic applications. Here, we determined the cryo-electron...
