Purification of a Cl-(-)channel protein of sarcoplasmic reticulum by assaying the channel activity in the planar lipid bilayer system.

abstract：:We have determined the ability of two well-characterized eukaryotic homing endonucleases, I-PpoI from the myxomycete Physarum polycephalum and I-CreI from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, to generate site-specific DNA double-strand breaks in human cells. These 18-kDa proteins cleave highly conserved 15- or 24...
