Abstract
We present a robust strategy to covalently link proteins and DNA using HUH-endonuclease domains as fusion partners (HUH-tags). We show that HUH-tags react robustly with specific sequences of unmodified single-stranded DNA, and we have identified five tags that react orthogonally with distinct DNA sequences. We demonstrate the versatility of HUH-tags as fusion partners in Cas9-mediated gene editing and the construction of doubly DNA-tethered proteins for single-molecule studies. Finally we demonstrate application to cellular imaging in live and fixed cells.Entities:
