(A) A CXCR4 - specific ZFN pair was generated, comprised of two DNA -
binding zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) each fused with a FokI endonuclease monomer.

The fusion
protein bound optimally to a sequence containing adjacent homeodomain (TAATTA) and
zinc finger (NGGGNG) subsites.
For DNA cleavage to occur, two
zinc finger proteins must
bind, each to specific, adjoining sequences in the CCR5 gene, leading to FokI dimerization and subsequent DNA cleavage resulting in a double strand break [24]--[26].

binding proteins such as
zinc fingers (ZF) and TAL effectors (TALE).

zinc finger proteins reveals a multitude of novel recognition motifs and

Swapping the DNA
binding domain of another telomeric
protein, TRF2, with the

zinc finger domains were sufficient to localize TRF2 to telomeres.
