摘要

An E. coli catabolite activator protein (CAP) has been converted into a sequence-specific DNA cleaving protein by genetically introducing (2, 2′-bipyridin-5-yl) alanine (Bpy-Ala) into the protein. The mutant CAP (CAP-K26Bpy-Ala) showed comparable binding affinity to CAP- WT for the consensus operator sequence. In the presence of Cu (II) and 3- mercaptopropionic acid, CAP-K26Bpy-Ala cleaves double-stranded DNA with high ...
