Funded Activity Summary

Developing custom RNA processing tools. The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) code has been described as an RNA code that connects specific residues in PPR motifs with the precise recognition of individual nucleotides. It will enable the design of custom RNA-binding proteins with tremendous potential in research and biotechnology. RNA-processing technologies aim to be developed that consist of PPR domains fused with an additional endonuclease domain for cleaving chosen target RNAs. In the longer term, successful technologies will be tested in living organisms for biotechnology applications or in new therapeutic strategies.
