Sequence-specific 5mC detection in live cells based on the TALE-split luciferase complementation system

Abstract

We established a method for converting TALE–DNA binding to luminescence, by combining a TALE and a split luciferase system. Furthermore, using a methylation-sensitive TALE, sequence-specific 5mC detection of genomic DNA was achieved in live cells. This study provides a new strategy for exploring the biological functions of 5mC.
