Zusammenfassung: | The present invention describes a novel bacterial nuclease of a CRISPR-Cas9 system from the bacterium P. pneumotropica, as well as the use of said nuclease for creating strictly specific two-strand cuts in a DNA molecule. The present nuclease possesses unusual properties and can be used as an instrument for introducing changes at strictly specified locations in a genomic DNA sequence of single-celled and multi-celled organisms. The invention thus increases the universality of accessible CRISPR-Cas9 systems, making it possible to use Cas9 nuclease from various organisms to cut genomic or plasmid DNA in a large number of specific sites and under various conditions. |
