摘要:
Disclosed herein are compositions for linking DNA-binding domains and cleavage domains to form nucleases, for example nucleases with altered target site separation (gap) preferences as compared to conventional linkers. Also described are fusion proteins comprising these linkers. The disclosure also provides methods of using these fusion proteins and compositions thereof for targeted cleavage of cellular chromatin in a region of interest and/or homologous recombination at a predetermined region of interest in cells. Thus, in one aspect, described herein are amino acid sequences linking a DNA-binding domain to a cleavage domain. The linker may replace one or more residues of the DNA-binding domain and/or cleavage domain.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding, cells and organisms comprising novel DNA-binding domains, including TALE DNA-binding domains. Also disclosed are methods of using these novel DNA-binding domains for modulation of gene expression and/or genomic editing of endogenous cellular sequences.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for targeted integration of an exogenous sequence into the human PPP1R12C locus, for example, for expression of a polypeptide of interest.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for insertion of transgene sequences encoding proteins involved in clotting into the genome of a cell for treating conditions including hemophilias.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for insertion of transgene sequences encoding proteins involved in clotting into the genome of a cell for treating conditions including hemophilias. In one aspect, described herein is a non-naturally occurring zinc-finger protein (ZFP) that binds to a target site in a region of interest (e.g., an albumin gene) in a genome, wherein the ZFP comprises one or more engineered zinc-finger binding domains. In certain embodiments, the zinc finger domain recognizes a target site in an albumin gene. In some embodiments, the zinc finger protein comprises five or six zinc finger domains designated and ordered F1 to F5 or F1 to F6, as shown in a single row of Table 1.
