摘要:Microbiome research is now demonstrating a growing number of bacterial strains and genes that affect our health1. Although CRISPR-derived tools have shown great success in editing disease-driving genes in human cells2, we currently lack the tools to achieve comparable success for bacterial targets in situ. Here we engineer a phage-derived particle to deliver a base editor and modify Escherichia coli colonizing the mouse gut. Editing of a beta-lactamase gene in a model E. coli strain resulted i...

摘要:Proteins have been designed that assemble in different ways depending on whether an 'effector' molecule is present - a demonstration of allostery, the phenomenon that enables switch-like control of protein functions in nature. Designer proteins that exhibit the phenomenon of allostery.
