(TALEN’s)
Muhammad Mujahid ID: F2019253023
 Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN)
are restriction enzymes that can be engineered to cut
specific sequences of DNA.
 They are made by fusing of:
i. DNA-binding domain (TAL effector).
ii. DNA cleavage domain (a nuclease which cuts DNA
strands).
TALEs
• TALEs – Transcription Activator-Like Effector proteins
produced by certain plant pathogenic bacteria, Xanthomonase
spp.
• Act as effectors during pathogenesis.
• It contain:
i. NLS (nuclear localization sequence).
ii. N-terminal translocation signal.
iii. Transcriptional activator domain.
iv. Central repeat domain.
• Contain 17 to 18 tandem repeats of a 33-35 amino acid motif
that can recognise a single base through two di-variant
residues
•DNA binding specificity is determined by the amino acids at
positions 12 and 13 within each repeat which is called Repeat
Variable Diresidue (RVD) .

 Transcription activator like Effector Nucleases (TALENs)
is a synthetic modified Restriction Enzyme.
 It consist on TALEs (proteins) and Nuclease enzyme
(Fok 1).
 It use as tool for Genome Editing.
 In 2011, named “The methods of the Year”
