CRISPR/dCas-mediated counter-silencing: reprogramming dCas proteins into antagonists of xenogeneic silencers

ABSTRACT Lsr2-like nucleoid-associated proteins function as xenogeneic silencers (XSs) inhibiting expression of horizontally acquired, adenine-thymine-rich DNA in actinobacteria. Interference by transcription factors can lead to counter-silencing of XS target promoters, but relief of this repression...
