The FokI domain of the TALE-FokI expression vector (pCS2TAL3-DD, Addgene) was replaced with the SET catalytic domain of EHMT2 using the restriction enzymes BamHI and XbaI such that SET was fused to the C-terminal end of the TAL effector. TALE repeat arrays were designed and assembled via multi-fragment cut-ligation using Golden Gate cloning [27 (link)]. These assembled DNA fragments were cloned into the TSET expression vector and the construct was verified by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing. A 40-amino acid ((GGGS)10) linker was inserted between the TAL effector repeats and the SET domain.
