Method of Genome Surgery with Paired, Permeant Endonuclease Excision

摘要

The use of P2E2 constructs in genome surgery includes a cell penetration component, a DNA binding component and a restriction endonuclease. The method for performing genome surgery includes: a) providing one or more recombinant of the P2E2 constructs; b) penetrating a cell with the recombinant P2E2 protein construct; c) forming a protein product in the cell by the processes of transcription and translation or by direct introduction of the P2E2 protein construct to the cell; d) attaching the protein product of the P2E2 construct to one or more targeted genomic sequences within the cell; and e) the endonuclease of the P2E2 construct cutting both strands of the genome at target locations.
