Triple helix-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) can bind to polypurine/polypyrimidine regions
in DNA in a sequence-specific manner. Triple helix formation has been shown to stimulate
recombination in mammalian cells in both episomal and chromosomal targets containing
direct repeat sequences. Bifunctional oligonucleotides consisting of a recombination donor
domain tethered to a TFO domain were found to mediate site-specific recombination in an
intracellular SV40 vector target. To elucidate the mechanism of triplex-induced …
