Engineered transcriptional activator-like effectors (TALEs) are versatile tools for genome manipulation with applications in research and clinical contexts. One current drawback of TALEs is their tendency to bind and cleave off-target sequence, which hampers their clinical application and renders applications requiring high-fidelity binding unfeasible. This disclosure provides engineered TALE domains and TALEs comprising such engineered domains, e.g., TALE nucleases (TALENs), TALE transcriptional activators, TALE transcriptional repressors, and TALE epigenetic modification enzymes, with improved specificity and methods for generating and using such TALEs. |

The present application relates to a strain expressing the FrsA protein, and a method for producing ethanol using the same. The FrsA of the present application has a high PDC enzyme activity for a pyruvate, which is a substrate, and thus can be used in a process for producing ethanol. In addition, an FrsA mutant having improved stability in a host cell can be more effective in producing ethanol due to the increase in stability when the FrsA mutant is overexpressed together with IIAGlc, compared with when using conventional Zymomonas mobilis-derived PDC |
