Abstract
Argonaute proteins are present and conserved in all domains of life. Recently characterized prokaryotic Argonaute proteins (pAgos) participates in host defense by DNA interference. Here, we report that the Natronobacterium gregoryi Argonaute (NgAgo) enhances gene insertions or deletions in Pasteurella multocida and Escherichia coli at efficiencies of 80–100%. Additionally, the effects are in a homologous arms-dependent but guide DNA- and...
