Abstract
A method of regulating expression of a gene in a cell is described, comprising the step of introducing into the cell a recombinant polypeptide comprising a PPR ssDNA-binding domain which itself comprises at least a pair of PPR ssDNA base-binding motifs. The PPR ssDNA base-binding motifs of the PPR ssDNA-binding domain are operably capable of binding the target ssDNA. Recombinant polypeptides comprising at least one PPR sDNA-binding domain capable of binding to target ssDNA sequence are also described, together with fusion proteins comprising the recombinant PPR ssDNA-binding domains, as well as isolated nucleic acids useful in preparing the recombinant polypeptides described. Recombinant vectors; compositions comprising the recombinant polypeptides; isolated nucleic acids; recombinant vectors; host cells comprising same; use of same in the manufacture of a medicament for regulating gene expression; as well as systems and kits for regulating gene expression are also described.
