Characterization of a recombinant thermotolerant argonaute protein as an endonuclease by broad guide utilization

Abstract Background Prokaryotic argonaute proteins (pAgos) play an important role in host defense in vivo. Most importantly, the thermophilic pAgos with endonuclease activity hold great potential for programmable genetic manipulation. Therefore, exploring argonaute proteins with unique enzyme proper...
