The expressed LtrA protein binds the intron in the expressed precursor RNA and promotes splicing by stabilizing the catalytically active RNA structure (group II introns are technically self-splicing). The resulting ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex (spliced Ll.LtrB intron bound to LtrA protein) forms base pairing interactions with the DNA target site. Then the intron RNA is inserted through a reaction known as “reverse splicing” into the top strand of the DNA target site while the LtrA protein (which is a multifunctional protein with reverse transcriptase activity) cleaves the bottom strand and then reverse transcribes the inserted intron RNA. The resulting intron cDNA is then fully integrated by the host cell DNA repair machinery. The programmability of introns is based on the fact that you can alter the base pairing interactions the RNP is capable of making in order to insert at a desired locus. More information is available [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17322321 here]. | |||
**'''[[User:Benjamin Gilman|Benjamin Gilman]] 19:46, 10 April 2013 (EDT)''': I changed the header above rAAV and targetrons to be more accurate. As max said, targetrons use the endonuclease activity of the intron-encoded protein LtrA, but unlike ZFNs or TALENs they are targeted by the intron RNA sequence, not by altering a binding domain on the endonuclease. Recombinant AAV uses viral integrase machinery to insert a DNA fragment into sites with homology in the genome. Thus, targeting is controlled by the sequence of a synthetic viral genome, not by altering any proteins. | |||
