T-DNA integration in plants requires MRE11- or TDP2-mediated removal of the 5’ bound Agrobacterium protein VirD2
2021-12-09
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><italic>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</italic>, a pathogenic bacterium capable of transforming plants through horizontal gene transfer, is nowadays the preferred vector for plant genetic engineering. The vehicle for transfer is the T-strand, a single-stranded DNA molecule bound by the bacterial protein VirD2, which guides T-DNA into the plants nucleus where it integrates. How VirD2 is remov...
