Abstract
Mbp_Argonaute proteins from prokaryotes and application thereof are provided. The Mbp_Argonaute protein consists of an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 or a sequence with at least 50% or at least 80% of homology with the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. An Argonaute protein gene derived from a cold-resistant prokaryoteis synthesized and named as MbpAgo, which has binding activity to single-stranded guide DNA and has nuclease activity to target RNA and/or target DNA complementarily paired with the single-stranded guide DNA, the MbpAgo can be used for the target RNA editing in vivo and in vitro to achieve site-specific modification of genetic material. The MbpAgo can modify highly-structured RNAs and not affect an endogenous RNAi pathway of animal and plant cells, provides a new and powerful tool for RNA editing with high cleavage activity and good specificity.
