Fig. 4From: Characterization of Argonaute nucleases from mesophilic bacteria Paenibacillus borealis and Brevibacillus laterosporusCleavage of pUC19 by PbAgo and BlAgo. a PbAgo cleaves pUC19 at 37 °C guided by a pair of 5′-P gDNAs. BlAgo cleaves pUC19 at 65 °C guided by a pair of 5′-P gDNAs. n Kinetic performance of PbAgo- and BlAgo-cleaving pUC19. c Effect of GC content of 50 bp plasmid target fragment on PbAgo and BlAgo cleavage activity. FW/RV gDNA, forward and reverse gDNAs; M, molecular weight marker; OC, open circular plasmid; Lin, linearized plasmid; SC, supercoiled plasmidBack to article page
