    摘要: The present invention provides a Cas9 platform to facilitate single-site nuclease gene editing precision within a human genome. For example, a Cas9 nuclease/DNA-targeting unit (Cas9-DTU) fusion protein precisely delivers a Cas9/sgRNA complex to a specific target site within the genome for subsequent sgRNA-dependent cleavage of an adjacent target sequence. Alternatively, attenuating Cas9 binding using mutations to the a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) recognition domain makes Cas9 target site recognition dependent on the associated DTU, all while retaining Cas9's sgRNA-mediated DNA cleavage fidelity. Cas9-DTU fusion proteins have improved target site binding precision, greater nuclease activity, and a broader sequence targeting range than standard Cas9 systems. Existing Cas9 or sgRNA variants (e.g., truncated sgRNAs (tru-gRNAs), nickases and FokI fusions) are compatible with these improvements to further reduce off-target cleavage. A robust, broadly applicable strategy is disclosed to impart Cas9 genome-editing systems with the single-genomic-site accuracy needed for safe, effective clinical application.

    摘要翻译: 本发明提供了促进人类基因组内单个位点核酸酶基因编辑精确度的Cas9平台。 例如,Cas9核酸酶/ DN-A-靶向单元(Cas9-DTU)融合蛋白将Cas9 / sgRNA复合物精确地递送至基因组内的特定靶位点,用于随后的相邻靶序列的sgRNA依赖性切割。 或者,使用对原型间隔相邻基序(PAM)识别结构域的突变来减弱Cas9结合使得Cas9靶标位点识别依赖于相关联的DTU,同时保留了Cas9的sgRNA介导的DNA切割保真度。 与标准Cas9系统相比,Cas9-DTU融合蛋白具有改善的靶位点结合精确度,更高的核酸酶活性和更广泛的序列靶向范围。 现有的Cas9或sgRNA变体(例如,截短的sgRNA(tru-gRNA),切口酶和FokI融合体)与这些改进相容以进一步减少脱靶切割。 公开了一种强大的,广泛适用的策略,为Cas9基因组编辑系统提供安全,有效的临床应用所需的单基因组位点准确性。
