Abstract:
Isolated cells genetically modified to express a DISRAM system are provided. Accordingly there is provided an isolated cell genetically modified to express a DISARM system having an anti-phage activity, the system comprising a drmM polypeptide; a drmA polypeptide; a drmB polypeptide; and a drmD polypeptide or a drmE polypeptide. Also provided are compositions and methods for conferring phage resistance to bacteria or for conferring bacterial susceptibility to phages.
Abstract:
The invention relates to method of treating or inhibiting progression of hemoglobinopathy in a subject in need thereof comprising inhibiting interaction between LRF-BTB and CHD protein-LBD.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a new method of characterising a target RNA polynucleotide by taking one or more measurements as the target RNA polynucleotide moves with respect to a transmembrane pore. The movement is controlled by a DNA helicase. The invention also relates to a modified RNA construct wherein the RNApolynucleotidehas been modified to increase DNA helicase binding thereto.
Abstract:
The invention relates to modified Dda helicases which can be used to control the movement of polynucleotides and are particularly useful for sequencing polynucleotides.
Abstract:
The invention relates to modified helicases with reduced unbinding from polynucleotides. The helicases can be used to control the movement of polynucleotides and are particularly useful for sequencing polynucleotides.
Abstract:
