Mesophilic Argonautes (Agos) from microbial resources have received significant attention due to their potential applications in genome editing and molecular diagnostics. This study characterizes a novel Ago from Pseudobutyrivibrio ruminis (PrAgo), which can cleave single-stranded DNA using guide DNA (gDNA). PrAgo, functioning as a multi-turnover enzyme, effectively cleaves DNA using 5'-phosphate gDNA, 14-30 nucleotides in length, in the presence of both Mn
