A programmable omnipotent Argonaute nuclease from mesophilic bacteria Kurthia massiliensis

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: Argonaute (Ago) proteins are conserved nucleic acid-guided proteins found in all domains of life. Eukaryotic Argonaute proteins play key roles in RNA interference pathways. Kurthia massiliensis (KmAgo) is a unique prokaryotic Argonaute protein that can utilize DNA and RNA guides to cleave DNA and RNA at different temperatures.

A programmable pAgo nuclease with universal guide and target specificity from the mesophilic bacterium Kurthia massiliensis

Ekaterina Kropocheva et al.

Summary: Argonaute proteins are programmable nucleases found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, with a newly discovered pAgo nuclease, KmAgo, showing unique properties of being able to cleave both DNA and RNA targets with no strict sequence specificity, making it potentially useful for highly specific nucleic acid detection and cleavage.

Catalytically Enhanced Cas9 through Directed Protein Evolution

Travis H. Hand et al.

Summary: This study introduces a protein engineering method for selecting catalytically enhanced CRISPR-Cas9 variants by targeting a shortened protospacer within a toxic gene. By improving AceCas9 and SpyCas9, significant enhancements in catalytic efficiency were achieved, with noticeable improvement in gene insertion in human colon cancer cells facilitated by SpyCECas9.

NgAgo possesses guided DNA nicking activity

Kok Zhi Lee et al.

Summary: NgAgo, a potential pAgo candidate, exhibits endonuclease activity in prokaryotes but shows poor expression in non-halophilic hosts. It possesses a single-stranded DNA binding domain in addition to canonical PIWI domains, allowing it to be programmed for targeted DNA cleavage and enhancing homologous recombination or gene-editing in Escherichia coli.

NgAgo possesses guided DNA nicking activity

Kok Zhi Lee et al.

Summary: Prokaryotic Argonautes (pAgos), including NgAgo, are proposed as flexible gene-editing tools due to their ability to function without specific sequence motifs adjacent to targets, unlike CRISPR/Cas systems. NgAgo, particularly from the halophilic archaeon Natronobacterium gregoryi, expresses poorly in non-halophilic hosts but the soluble fraction exhibits nicking DNA endonuclease activity. NgAgo contains a previously unrecognized single-stranded DNA binding domain (repA) in addition to canonical PIWI domains, both of which participate in its DNA cleavage activities.
