Homing endonucleases: structural and functional insight into the catalysts of intron/intein mobility

Homing endonucleases confer mobility to their host intervening sequence, either an intron or intein, by catalyzing a highly specific double-strand break in a cognate allele lacking the intervening sequence. These proteins are characterized by their ability to bind long DNA target sites (14–40 bp) an...
