ABSTRACT:
Methods for preparing nucleotide integrases are provided. The nucleotide integrases are prepared by combining in vitro an excised, group II intron RNA, referred to hereinafter as "exogenous RNA", with a group II intron-encoded protein. The exogenous RNA is prepared by in vitro transcription of a DNA molecule which comprises a group II intron sequence. In one embodiment, the group II intron-encoded protein is made by introducing into a host cell a DNA molecule that comprises at least the open reading frame sequence of a group II intron and then expressing the open reading frame sequence in the host cell. The DNA molecule may comprise the open reading frame sequence operably linked to a promoter, preferably an inducible promoter. Thereafter, the cell is fractionated and the protein is recovered and combined in vitro with the exogenous RNA to provide RNP particles having nucleotide integrase activity. In another embodiment, the DNA molecule comprise a group II intron sequence that encodes both a group II intron RNA as well as a group II intron encoded protein. The DNA molecule is then expressed in the host cell to provide RNP particles that comprise the group II intron-encoded protein bound to the group II intron RNA. Thereafter, the RNP particles comprising the group II intron-encoded protein and the group II intron RNA are isolated from the cell and treated with a nuclease to remove the RNA and to provide the group II-intron encoded protein. The group II intron-encoded protein is then combined in vitro with the exogenous RNA to provide RNP particles having nucleotide integrase activity.
