Modular DNA-binding domains and methods of use

摘要

The present invention refers to methods for selectively recognizing a base pair in a DNA sequence by a polypeptide, to modified polypeptides which specifically recognize one or more base pairs in a DNA sequence and, to DNA which is modified so that it can be specifically recognized by a polypeptide and to uses of said polypeptide and DNA in specific DNA targeting as well as to methods of modulating expression of target genes in a cell.
