Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are proteins secreted by Xanthomonas bacteria to aid the infection of plants species. TALEs assist infections by binding to specific DNA sequence and activating the expression of host genes. Recent results show that TALE proteins consist of a central repeat domain, which determines the DNA targeting specificity and can be rapidly synthesized de novo. Considering the highly modular nature of TALEs, their versatility, and the ease of constructing these proteins, this technology can have important implications for synthetic biology applications. Here, we review developments in the area with a particular focus on modifications for custom and controllable gene regulation.
