Self-assembled endogenous DNA nanoparticles for auto-release and expression of the eGFP gene in Bacillus subtilis.

The development of DNA delivery techniques is critical to promote the wider use of deoxyribonucleic acids as cellular transporters. The present study aimed to develop a type of DNA nanoparticle (citZ-box) to automatically load and release cargo. The restriction enzyme can cleave citZ-boxes at pro-designed sites, and the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene (eGFP) can be delivered into the B.
