Abstract

Argonaute proteins from prokaryotes (pAgos) and applications thereof are provided, the pAgo is from a mesophilic prokaryote of Kurthia massiliensis and named as KmAgo, the pAgos and applications thereof are capable of site-specific modification of intracellular and extracellular genetic material, and thus can be effectively applied to many fields of biotechnology, such as nucleic acid detection, gene editing and gene modification, and provide a new tool for gene editing, modification and molecular detection of the pAgo polypeptides.
