Abstract:
The present invention relates to polypeptides and more particularly to Transcription Activator-Like Effector derived proteins that allow to efficiently target and/or process nucleic acids. The present invention also concerns methods to use these proteins. The present invention also relates to vectors, compositions and kits in which RVD domains and Transcription Activator-Like Effector (TALE) proteins of the present invention are used.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to polypeptides and more particularly to Transcription Activator-Like Effector derived proteins that allow to efficiently target and/or process nucleic acids. Particularly, the present invention reports the characterization of TALE derived proteins that can efficiently target methylated DNA. The present invention more specifically relates to TALE derived proteins that allow activation of methylated promoters responsible for gene silencing.
