The C-terminal DNA endonuclease region and biotechnology applications of a group II intron reverse transcriptase from Thermosynechoccus elongatus

Group II introns insert site-specifically into DNA target sites through a process termed retrohoming. They consist of a structured, catalytically active intron RNA and its encoded protein. The protein contains several domains, including a reverse transcriptase domain and a DNA endonuclease domain us...
