[0100] Single and dual ADAR2 recruitment domains: JPEG2025066771000059.jpg146164 [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0101] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic of the vector constructs developed for delivery of modified endogenous or orthogonal tRNAs. [Figure 2] Figures 2A-B show the suppression efficiency of tRNA constructs: (Figure 2A) Relative efficiencies of suppressor tRNAs derived from arginine, serine, and leucine against amber, ochre, and opal stop codons; a representative image shows the restoration of GFP expression in the presence of Ser tRNA amber. (Figure 2B) Comparison of the suppression efficiency of single- and double-pyrrolidyl tRNAs against amber, ochre, and opal stop codons in the presence of 2 mM UAA; a representative image shows the relative GFP restoration using single- and double-pyrrolidyl tRNA amber in the presence of 2 mM UAA. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 shows the results of the GFP reporter for dystrophin using various tRNAs and amino acids. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 shows the results of dystrophin restoration experiments performed in mdx mice. [Figure 5] FIG. 5 shows the sequences used to generate the ADAR2 constructs. [Figure 6] FIG. 6 shows non-limiting examples of RNA-level point mutations to codons that can be made by ADAR2. [Figure 7] FIG. 7 shows an exemplary schematic of a construct that can be used in an ADAR2-based RNA editing system. [Figure 8] Figure 8 shows the results of optimizing adRNA length and editing distance from the ADAR2 recruitment domain. The first number on the Y-axis abbreviation is the adRNA length, and the second number (following the dash) is the editing distance from the ADAR2 recruitment domain. The best results were obtained with 20-6, which has the ADAR2 recruitment region v2. [Figure 9]Figure 9 shows the in vitro restoration of GFP expression using the editing system described herein. [Figure 10] Figure 10 shows the results of optimizing hairpins with mismatches. The first number in the abbreviation for each category on the Y axis is the number of mismatches, and the second number is the number of bases from the target. For example, 13 is one mismatch, three bases away from the target. [Figure 11] Figure 11 shows the results for various lengths of toehold, a guide RNA sequence with no mismatches to the target. [Figure 12] 12A-C show the results of (FIG. 12A) immunostaining, (FIG. 12B) Western blot, and (FIG. 12C) in vitro OTC mRNA editing assay. [Figure 13] Figure 13 is a Western blot showing restoration of dystrophin expression using suppressor tRNAs compared to a Cas9-based approach. [Figure 14] FIG. 14 shows normalized dystrophin mRNA levels. [Figure 15] FIG. 15 shows the results of immunostaining. [Figure 16]Figures 16A-D show in vitro suppression and editing of stop codons in GFP reporter mRNAs: (Figure 16A) Activity of arginine, serine, and leucine suppressor tRNAs targeting amber, ochre, and opal stop codons (n = 3 independent replicates). (Figure 16B) Orthogonal tRNA / aaRS (MbPylRS)-based suppression of amber, ochre, and opal stop codons in the presence of one or two copies of pyrrolysyl tRNA delivered by an AAV vector and in the presence of 1 mM Nε-Boc-L-lysine (n = 3 independent replicates) (p values 0.022, 0.002, and 0.027, respectively). (Figure 16C) ADAR2-based RNA editing efficiency of amber and ochre stop codons in one-step, two-step, or in combination with suppressor tRNAs (n = 3 independent replicates). (Figure 16D) ADAR2-based RNA editing efficiency of amber and ochre stop codons in the presence of one or two copies of adRNA delivered by AAV vectors (n=3 or 6 independent replicates) (p-values 0.0003, 0.0001, 0.0015, respectively). [Figure 17]Figures 17A-E show in vivo RNA targeting in mouse models of human disease: (Figure 17A) Schematic of DNA and RNA targeting approaches to restore dystrophin expression in mdx mice: (i) dual gRNA-CRISPR-based approach results in in-frame excision of exon 23; (ii) tRNA suppression of the ochre codon; and (iii) ADAR2-based editing of the ochre codon.

[Figure 18] Figures 18A-B show the evaluation and optimization of tRNA suppression in vitro: (Figure 18A) Specificity of engineered serine suppressor tRNAs for ochre and opal stop codons (n = 3 independent replicates). (Figure 18B) Efficiency of ochre stop codon suppression using three different aaRSs: MbPylRS, MmPylRS, and AcKRS, and two or four copies of pyrrolysyl-tRNA or serine suppressor tRNA (all delivered using AAV vectors). MbPylRS, MmPylRS: 1 mM Nε-Boc-L-lysine; AcKRS: 1 or 10 mM Nε-acetyl-L-lysine (n = 3 independent replicates). [Figure 19]Figures 19A-C show the evaluation and optimization of ADAR2-mediated site-specific RNA editing in vitro: (Figure 19A) GFP expression is restored when the adRNA / radRNA contains two mismatches corresponding to the two adenosines in the ochre stop codon. The presence of a single mismatch results in the formation of an amber or opal stop codon (n = 3 independent replicates). (Figure 19B) Panel of adRNA designs used. (Figure 19C) Optimization of the adRNA antisense region using adRNA design 1: the length and distance from the ADAR2 recruitment region were systematically varied, and editing efficiency was calculated as the ratio of Sanger peak heights, G / (A+G) (n = 3 independent replicates). [Figure 20] Figures 20A-C show in vivo targeting of dystrophin mRNA via suppressor tRNA: (Figure 20A) Progressively increasing restoration of dystrophin expression over time in mdx mice treated with AAV8-double-serine-ochre-tRNA. (Figure 20B) UAA-induced nNOS localization in mdx mice treated with AAV8-double-pyrrolysine-ochre-tRNA-MbPylRS. (Figure 20C) Western blots for dystrophin show partial restoration of dystrophin expression in mdx mice treated with serine tRNA ochre, pyrrolysyl-tRNA ochre and administered UAA, as well as samples treated with Cas9 / gRNA. [Figure 21]Figures 21A-D show in vitro and in vivo editing of dystrophin and OTC mRNA: (Figure 21A) Representative Sanger sequencing plot (quantified using NGS) showing 12.7% editing of the ochre stop codon (TAA→TGG) in a fragment of mdx dystrophin mRNA expressed in HEK 293T cells. (Figure 21B) Representative example of in vivo RNA editing analysis of treated mdx mice (quantified using NGS). (Figure 21C) Representative Sanger sequencing plot (quantified using NGS) showing 29.7% correction of a point mutation in a fragment of spfash OTC mRNA expressed in HEK 293T cells. (Figure 21D) Representative example of in vivo RNA editing analysis of treated spfash mice (quantified using NGS). [Figure 22] Figures 22A-B show the in vitro editing efficiency of ADAR2-E488Q. ADAR2-E488Q enables higher efficiency than ADAR2 in the following in vitro editing: (Figure 22A) a fragment of spfash OTC mRNA expressed in HEK293T cells (n=3 independent replicates) (p-value 0.037), and (Figure 22B) a fragment of mdx dystrophin mRNA expressed in HEK293T cells (n=3 independent replicates) (p-values 0.048, 0.012, respectively). Efficiency was calculated as the ratio of Sanger peak heights G / (A+G). [Figure 23-1] Figures 23A-D show an overview of (Figure 23A) MCP or N22 fusions with ADAR1 or ADAR2, (Figure 23B) APOBEC recruitment by adRNA, (Figure 23C) more general adRNA architecture, and (Figure 23D) the structure of the v2 adRNA backbone after folding. [Figure 23-2] This is a continuation of Figure 23-1. [Figure 24]Figures 24A-B outline the following optimal embodiments: (Figure 24A) Endogenous ADAR2 may be used in the methods disclosed herein in tissues with high endogenous ADAR2, such as the brain, lung, and spleen. (Figure 24B) ADAR1 and / or ADAR2 levels may be increased in tissues with low levels of endogenous ADAR1 and ADAR2. Clockwise from left: (1) delivery of adRNA and ADAR2 results in high levels of RNA editing; (2) delivery of adRNA alone likely results in little or no editing due to low levels of endogenous ADAR1 and ADAR2; (3) treatment of cells with IFN increases ADAR1(p150) levels but may result in little editing of RNA targets in the absence of adRNA; (4) treatment of cells with IFN plus adRNA leads to increased levels of ADAR1(p150) which, in the presence of adRNA, may lead to high levels of target RNA editing; and (5) treatment of cells with IFN plus adRNA and ADAR2 results in higher expression levels of ADAR1 and higher levels of RNA editing. [Figure 25] Figure 25 shows the conversion rate of UAA to UAG. UAA was converted to UAG by ADAR2-based editing, and addition of a suppressor tRNA targeting the UAG stop codon led to partial restoration of GFP expression. [Figure 26] FIG. 26 shows the results of in vivo NA editing in the mdx mouse model of muscular dystrophy. [Figure 27] FIG. 27 shows the edited sequence resulting from promiscuous C-terminal ADAR2 usage. [Figure 28] Figure 28 shows the editing efficiency of stabilized scaffolds. [Figure 29] Figure 29 shows the fraction of mRNAs edited by single versus dual ADAR2 recruitment domains and corresponding sequences. [Figure 30] Figure 30 shows the fraction of mRNA edited by various MCP-ADAR scaffolds. [Figure 31]Figure 31 shows alternative splice variants of OTC and was taken from Hodges, PE & Rosenberg, LE. spfash mice: A missense mutation in the ornithine transcarbamylase gene also results in aberrant mRNA splicing (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86, 4142-4146 (1989)). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0104] The terminology used in the description herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0105] All numerical designations, e.g., pH, temperature, time, concentration, and molecular weight, including ranges, are approximations that vary (+) or (-) by increments of 1.0 or 0.1, as appropriate, or alternatively by a variation of + / - 15%, or alternatively 10%, or alternatively 5%, or alternatively 2%. It is to be understood, although not always explicitly stated, that all numerical designations are preceded by the word "about." It is also to be understood, although not always explicitly stated, that the reagents described herein are exemplary only and that equivalents of such are known in the art.
[0106] Unless the context indicates otherwise, it is specifically intended that the various features of the invention described herein can be used in any combination. Furthermore, the present disclosure also contemplates that in some embodiments, any feature or combination of features described herein can be excluded or omitted. For illustrative purposes, if the specification states that a composite includes components A, B, and C, it is specifically contemplated that any of A, B, or C, or combinations thereof, alone or in any combination, can be omitted or waived.
[0107] Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all specified embodiments, features, and terms are intended to include both the described embodiment, feature, or term and its biological equivalents.
[0108] definition As used in this specification and claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. For example, the term "polypeptide" includes a plurality of polypeptides, including mixtures thereof.
[0109] The term "about," as used herein, when referring to a measurable value such as an amount or concentration, is intended to encompass a variation of 20%, 10%, 5%, 1%, 0.5%, or even 0.1% from the specified amount.
[0110] As used herein, the term "comprising" is intended to mean that the compositions and methods include the recited elements, but do not exclude other elements. When used to define compositions and methods, "consisting essentially of" means excluding other elements that are essential to the combination for the intended use. Thus, a composition consisting essentially of the elements defined herein does not exclude trace contaminants from isolation and purification methods, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers such as phosphate-buffered saline, preservatives, etc. "Consisting of" is intended to mean excluding more than trace elements of other components and substantial method steps for administering the compositions of the invention. Embodiments defined by each of these transition terms are within the scope of the present invention.
[0111] A "subject" of diagnosis or treatment can be a cell or an animal, such as a mammal, or a human. Non-human animals that can be subjects of diagnosis or treatment include infectious disease or animal models, such as simians, murines, such as rats and mice, chinchillas, canines, such as dogs, lagomorphs, such as rabbits, farm animals, sport animals, and pets.
[0112] The terms "protein," "peptide," and "polypeptide" are used interchangeably and in the broadest sense to refer to a compound of two or more subunits of amino acids, amino acid analogs, or peptidomimetics. The subunits may be linked by peptide bonds. In alternative embodiments, the subunits may be linked by other bonds, such as esters, ethers, etc. A protein or peptide must contain at least two amino acids, and there is no limit imposed on the maximum number of amino acids that may comprise a protein or peptide sequence. As used herein, the term "amino acid" refers to any natural and / or unnatural or synthetic amino acid, including glycine and both D and L optical isomers, amino acid analogs, and peptidomimetics. As used herein, the term "fusion protein" generally refers to a protein composed of domains from multiple naturally occurring or recombinantly produced proteins, where each domain generally performs a different function. In this context, the term "linker" refers to a protein fragment used to link these domains together, optionally to maintain the conformation of the fusion protein domains and / or prevent undesired interactions between the fused protein domains that may impair their respective functions.
[0113] The terms "polynucleotide" and "oligonucleotide" are used interchangeably and refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, either deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, or analogs thereof. Polynucleotides can have any three-dimensional structure and can perform any function, known or unknown. The following are non-limiting examples of polynucleotides: genes or gene fragments (e.g., probes, primers, ESTs, or SAGE tags, etc.), exons, introns, messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, RNAi, ribozymes, cDNA, recombinant polynucleotides, branched polynucleotides, plasmids, vectors, isolated DNA of any sequence, isolated RNA of any sequence, nucleic acid probes, and primers. Polynucleotides can contain modified nucleotides, such as methylated nucleotides and nucleotide analogs. If present, modifications to the nucleotide structure can be imparted before or after assembly of the polynucleotide. The sequence of nucleotides may be interrupted by non-nucleotide components. Polynucleotides can be further modified after polymerization, such as by conjugation with a labeling component. The term also refers to both double- and single-stranded molecules. Unless otherwise specified or required, embodiments of the invention that are polynucleotides encompass both the double-stranded form and each of the two complementary single-stranded forms that are known or predicted to constitute the double-stranded form.
[0114] A polynucleotide is composed of a specific sequence of four nucleotide bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T), or uracil (U) in place of thymine if the polynucleotide is RNA. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide can contain one or more other nucleotide bases, such as inosine (I), a nucleoside formed by hypoxanthine linked to ribofuranose via a β-N9-glycosidic bond, resulting in the following chemical structure: [ka] Inosine is interpreted by the translational machinery as guanine (G). The term "polynucleotide sequence" refers to the alphabetical representation of a polynucleotide molecule. This alphabetical representation can be input into a database on a computer with a central processing unit and used in bioinformatics applications such as functional genomics and homology searching.
[0115] As used herein, "expression" refers to the process by which a polynucleotide is transcribed into mRNA and / or the process by which the transcribed mRNA is then translated into a peptide, polypeptide, or protein. If the polynucleotide is derived from genomic DNA, expression may include splicing of the mRNA in a eukaryotic cell.
[0116] The terms "equivalent" or "biological equivalent" are used interchangeably when referring to specific molecular, biological, or cellular substances, and are intended to have minimal homology while still maintaining the desired structure or functionality.
[0117] The term "encoding" when applied to a polynucleotide refers to a polynucleotide that is said to "encode" a polypeptide when, in its natural context, or when manipulated by methods well known to those of skill in the art, it is capable of being transcribed and / or translated to produce mRNA for the polypeptide and / or fragments thereof. The antisense strand is the complement of such a nucleic acid, and the coding sequence can be deduced therefrom.
[0118] As used herein, the term "functional" may be used to contemplate modifying any molecular, biological, or cellular substance so that it achieves a particular, specified effect.
[0119] As used herein, the terms "treat," "treatment," and the like are used herein to mean obtaining a desired pharmacological and / or physiological effect. The effect can be prophylactic, in that it completely or partially prevents a disease, disorder, or condition, or its signs or symptoms, and / or therapeutic, in that it partially or completely cures the disorder and / or adverse effects resulting from the disorder.
[0120] "Administration" can be achieved in one dose, continuously or intermittently throughout the course of treatment. Methods for determining the most effective means and dosages of administration are known to those skilled in the art and may vary depending on the composition used for treatment, the purpose of the treatment, the target cells being treated, and the subject being treated. Single or multiple administrations may be carried out with the dose level and pattern selected by the treating physician. Appropriate dosage forms and methods for administering drugs are known in the art. The route of administration can also be determined, and methods for determining the most effective route of administration are known to those skilled in the art and may vary depending on the composition used for treatment, the purpose of the treatment, the health condition or disease stage of the subject being treated, and the target cells or tissues. Non-limiting examples of routes of administration include oral administration, nasal administration, injection, and topical application.
[0121] The term "effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient to achieve a desired effect. In the context of therapeutic or prophylactic applications, the effective amount depends on the type and severity of the condition in question, as well as individual subject characteristics such as general health, age, sex, weight, and resistance to the pharmaceutical composition. In the context of immunogenic compositions, in some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to produce a protective response against a pathogen. In other embodiments, an effective amount of an immunogenic composition is an amount sufficient to produce antibody production against an antigen. In some embodiments, an effective amount is the amount necessary to confer passive immunity in a subject in need thereof. With respect to immunogenic compositions, in some embodiments, the effective amount may depend on the intended use, the degree of immunogenicity of the particular antigenic compound, and the health / responsiveness of the subject's immune system, in addition to the factors described above. One of skill in the art will be able to determine the appropriate amount depending on these and other factors.
[0122] For in vitro applications, in some embodiments, the effective amount will depend on the size and nature of the application in question. It may also depend on the nature and sensitivity of the in vitro target and the method being used. One of skill in the art will be able to determine the effective amount based on these and other considerations. The effective amount may include one or more administrations of the composition, depending on the embodiment.
[0123] The term "Cas9" refers to the CRISPR-associated endonuclease known by this name (e.g., UniProtKB G3ECR1(CAS9_STRTR)), as well as dead or dCas9 lacking endonuclease activity (e.g., mutations in both the RuvC and HNH domains). The term "Cas9" can further refer to equivalents of a reference Cas9 having at least about 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identity, including, but not limited to, other large Cas9 proteins. In some embodiments, the Cas9 is derived from Campylobacter jejuni or another Cas9 ortholog that is 1000 amino acids or less in length.
[0124] The term "vector" refers to a polynucleotide (usually DNA) used to artificially carry foreign genetic material into another cell where it can be replicated or expressed. Non-limiting examples of vectors include plasmids, viral vectors, cosmids, and artificial chromosomes. Such vectors can be derived from a variety of sources, including bacterial and viral sources. A non-limiting exemplary viral source of a plasmid is adeno-associated virus.
[0125] As used herein, the term "recombinant expression system" refers to a genetic construct or constructs for the expression of specific genetic material formed by recombinant means. In this regard, the term "construct" is interchangeable with the term "vector," as defined herein.
[0126] The term "adeno-associated virus" or "AAV," as used herein, refers to a member of the class of viruses related to this name that belong to the genus Dependoparvovirus in the family Parvoviridae. Multiple serotypes of this virus are known to be suitable for gene delivery, and all known serotypes are capable of infecting cells from various tissue types. At least eleven, sequentially numbered, have been disclosed in the prior art. Non-limiting exemplary serotypes useful for the purposes disclosed herein include any of the eleven serotypes, e.g., AAV2 and AAV8.
[0127] As used herein, the term "lentivirus" refers to a member of a class of viruses related to the Retroviridae family, belonging to the Lentivirus genus. Some lentiviruses are known to cause disease, while others are known to be suitable for gene delivery. See, for example, Tomas et al. (2013) Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology: "Gene Therapy - Tools and Potential Applications," ISBN 978-953-51-1014-9, DOI: 10.5772 / 52534.
[0128] As used herein, the term "restoration" with respect to protein expression refers to the ability to establish full-length protein expression when previous protein expression was truncated by mutation.
[0129] As used herein, the term "mutation" refers to a change in a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein compared to the consensus sequence for that protein. A "missense" mutation results in the substitution of one codon for another. A "nonsense" mutation changes a codon from one encoding a specific amino acid to a stop codon. Nonsense mutations often result in truncated translation of a protein. A "silent" mutation is one that does not affect the resulting protein. As used herein, the term "point mutation" refers to a mutation that affects only one nucleotide within a gene sequence. A "splice site mutation" is a mutation present in a pre-mRNA (before processing to remove introns) that results in mistranslation and often truncation of the protein due to incorrect delineation of splice sites.
[0130] "Messenger RNA" or "mRNA" is a nucleic acid molecule that is transcribed from DNA and then processed to remove non-coding portions known as introns. The resulting mRNA is transported from the nucleus (or another location where DNA is found) and translated into protein. The term "pre-mRNA" refers to the strand before it is processed to remove the non-coding portions.
[0131] "Transfer ribonucleic acid" or "tRNA" is a nucleic acid molecule that helps translate mRNA into protein. tRNA has a unique folded structure containing three hairpin loops, one of which contains a "stem" portion that encodes an anticodon. The anticodon recognizes the corresponding codon on mRNA. Each tRNA is "charged with" an amino acid corresponding to the mRNA codon. This "charging" is accomplished by a tRNA synthetase enzyme. Once the codon corresponding to the anticodon is recognized by the tRNA, the tRNA transfers the amino acid it has charged to a growing amino acid chain to form a polypeptide or protein. Endogenous tRNAs can be charged by endogenous tRNA synthetases. Therefore, endogenous tRNAs are typically charged with standard amino acids. Orthogonal tRNAs derived from external sources require the corresponding orthogonal tRNA synthetases. Such orthogonal tRNAs can be charged with both standard and non-standard amino acids. In some embodiments, the amino acid that the tRNA is charged with may be detectably labeled to allow for detection in vivo. Techniques for labeling are known in the art and include, but are not limited to, click chemistry (an azide / alkyne containing unnatural amino acid is added by an orthogonal tRNA / synthetase pair and can then be detected using an alkyne / azide containing fluorophore or other such molecule).
[0132] The term "stop codon" refers to a consecutive sequence of three nucleotides in messenger RNA that signals the end of translation. Non-limiting examples include UAG, UAA, UGA for RNA, and TAG, TAA, or TGA for DNA. Unless otherwise specified, the term also includes nonsense mutations in DNA or RNA that introduce premature stop codons, causing the resulting protein to be abnormally short. tRNAs corresponding to various stop codons are known by the specific names amber (UAG), ochre (UAA), and opal (UGA).
[0133] "Standard Amino Acids" refers to the 20 amino acids found naturally in the human body, shown in the table below with their three-letter abbreviations, one-letter abbreviations, structures, and corresponding codons: JPEG2025066771000061.jpg227167JPEG2025066771000062.jpg157165JPEG2025066771000063.jpg136167
[0134] The term "non-standard amino acid" refers to synthetic or modified amino acids outside of this group, typically produced by chemical synthesis or modification (e.g., amino acid analogs) of standard amino acids. The present disclosure uses protein-producing non-standard amino acids in some of the methods and vectors disclosed herein. A non-limiting example of a non-standard amino acid is pyrrolysine (Pyl or O), the chemical structure of which is shown below: [ka] Inosine (I) is another example of a non-standard amino acid commonly found in tRNAs, where it is essential for proper translation through "wobble base pairing." The structure of inosine is provided above.
[0135] As used herein, the term "ADAR" refers to adenosine deaminase, which can convert adenosine (A) to inosine (I) in RNA sequences. ADAR1 and ADAR2 are two typical types of ADAR involved in mRNA editing in vivo. Non-limiting exemplary sequences of ADAR1 can be found under the following reference numbers: HGNC: 225; Entrez Gene: 103; Ensembl: ENSG 00000160710; OMIM: 146920; UniProtKB: P55265; and GeneCards: GC01M154554, and their biological equivalents. Non-limiting exemplary sequences of ADAR2 can be found under the following reference numbers: HGNC: 226; Entrez Gene: 104; Ensembl: ENSG00000197381; OMIM: 601218; UniProtKB: P78563; and GeneCards: GC21P045073, and biological equivalents thereof. Further non-limiting exemplary sequences of catalytic domains are provided herein above. The forward and reverse RNAs used to direct site-specific ADAR editing are known as "adRNA" and "radRNA," respectively. The catalytic domains of ADAR1 and ADAR2 are contained in the sequences set forth herein below.

[0138] The double-stranded RNA binding domain (dsRBD) of ADAR is contained in the sequence shown herein below.

[0140] It is understood that further mutations can be made in the sequences of ADAR and / or its various domains. For example, Applicant has generated E488Q and E1008Q mutants in both ADAR1 and ADAR2, as well as a "promiscuous" variant of ADAR2 resulting from a C-terminal deletion. This "promiscuous" variant is known as such because it showed promiscuity in reads edited with multiple A's near the target sequence, indicating an A to G transition (verified at two different loci). The sequence of this variant is shown below.
[0141] "Promiscuous" ADAR2 variant: * Without wishing to be bound by theory, C-terminal deletions in ADAR1 may produce the same or similar effects.
[0142] As used herein, the term "deficiency" refers to a lower than normal (physiologically acceptable) level of a particular agent. In the context of a protein, deficiency refers to a lower than normal level of the full-length protein.
[0143] As used herein, the term "dystrophin" refers to the protein corresponding to its name and encoded by the gene Dmd, non-limiting examples of which can be found in UniProt reference numbers P11532 (human) and P11531 (mouse).
[0144] As used herein, the term "ornithine transcarbamylase" or "OTC" refers to the protein encoded by the gene Otc, corresponding to its name. Non-limiting examples are found in UniProt reference numbers P00480 (human) and P11725 (mouse). OTC deficiency is an X-linked genetic disease that results in high levels of ammonia in the blood. In some cases, OTC deficiency is caused by a G-to-A splice site mutation in the donor splice site of exon 4, resulting in incorrect splicing of the pre-mRNA. This mutation results in the formation of an elongated protein or a protein with a point mutation. OTC protein levels are reduced 15-20 fold. Figure 31 (taken from Hodges, PE & Rosenberg, LE The spfash mouse: a missense mutation in the ornithine transcarbamylase gene also causes aberrant mRNA splicing. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86, 4142-4146 (1989)) shows the alternative forms that are generated. The sequences are as follows: As shown above in JPEG2025066771000065.jpg55124, correct splice variants can be generated when mutations are present, but such generation results in missense mutations that can also contribute to OTC deficiency.
[0145] The terms "hairpin," "hairpin loop," "stem loop," and / or "loop," used alone or in combination with "motif," when used in reference to oligonucleotides, refer to a structure formed in a single-stranded oligonucleotide when the sequences within the single strand are complementary when read in opposite base pairing orientations and form a region having a three-dimensional structure resembling a hairpin or loop.
[0146] As used herein, the term "domain" refers to a specific region of a protein or polypeptide and is associated with a particular function. For example, a "domain that associates with an RNA hairpin motif" refers to a domain of a protein that binds to one or more RNA hairpins. This binding can optionally be specific to a particular hairpin. For example, the M2 bacteriophage coat protein (MCP) can specifically bind to specific stem-loop structures, including, but not limited to, the MS2 stem-loop. See, e.g., Peabody, DS, "The RNA binding site of bacteriophage MS2 coat protein," EMBO J. 12(2):595-600 (1993); Corrigan and Chubb, "Biophysical Methods in Cell Biology," Methods in Cell Biology (2015). Similarly, λN22, referred to herein as the "N22 peptide," can specifically bind to specific stem-loop structures, including, but not limited to, the BoxB stem-loop. See, e.g., Cilley and Williamson, "Analysis of bacteriophage N protein and peptide binding to boxB RNA using polyacrylamide gel coelectrophoresis (PACE)." RNA 3(1):57-67 (1997). The sequences of both the MCP and MS2 stem-loop and the N22 peptide and BoxB loop are provided herein above in the context of their use in fusion proteins with ADAR (MCP, N22 peptide) and adRNA (MS2 stem-loop, BoxB loop), respectively.
[0147] As used herein, the term "APOBEC" refers to any protein within the family of evolutionarily conserved cytidine deaminases involved in mRNA editing (catalyzing the conversion of C to U), and equivalents thereof. In some aspects, the term APOBEC refers to any one of APOBEC1, APOBEC2, APOBEC3A, APOBEC3B, APOBEC3C, APOBEC3E, APOBEC3F, APOBEC3G, APOBEC3H, APOBEC4, or their respective equivalents. Non-limiting exemplary sequences of fusion proteins containing one or more APOBEC domains fused to an ADAR domain or fused to an alternative domain that makes them suitable for use in an RNA editing system are provided herein. For this purpose, APOBECs can be considered equivalent to ADARs, i.e., they catalyze editing via a different conversion. Therefore, without being bound by theory, the applicant believes that all embodiments contemplated herein for use in an ADAR-based editing system may be adapted for use in an APOBEC-based RNA editing system.
[0148] As used herein, the term "interferon" refers to a group of signaling proteins known to be involved in immune responses. In the context of this application, interferons of interest are those that result in enhanced ADAR expression. The correlation between interferon alpha and ADAR1 is well known, and therefore, the present disclosure contemplates the use of interferon alpha as a means of increasing endogenous ADAR1 expression. Commercial sources of isolated or recombinant interferon alpha include, but are not limited to, Sigma-Aldrich, R&D Systems, Abcam, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Alternatively, interferon alpha can be produced using known vectors and predetermined protein sequences, such as Q6QNB6 (human IFNA).
[0149] Unless expressly stated and intended otherwise, when the present disclosure relates to a polypeptide, protein, polynucleotide, or antibody, it should be presumed that equivalents or biological equivalents of such are intended to be within the scope of the present disclosure. As used herein, the term "biological equivalent thereof," when referring to a reference protein, antibody, polypeptide, or nucleic acid, is intended to be synonymous with "equivalent thereof," and is intended to be synonymous with "equivalent thereof," which is intended to have minimal homology while still maintaining the desired structure or functionality. Unless otherwise stated herein, any polynucleotide, polypeptide, or protein referred to herein is intended to also include its equivalent. For example, an equivalent is intended to have at least about 70% homology or identity, or at least 80% homology or identity, alternatively, or at least about 85%, or alternatively, at least about 90%, or alternatively, at least about 95%, or alternatively, 98% percent homology or identity, and exhibit substantially the same biological activity as the reference protein, polypeptide, or nucleic acid. Instead, when referring to a polynucleotide, the equivalent is a polynucleotide that hybridizes under stringent conditions to the reference polynucleotide or its complement.
[0150] Applicants herein provide polypeptide and / or polynucleotide sequences for use in the gene and protein transfer and expression techniques described below. It should be understood, although not always explicitly stated, that the sequences provided herein can be used to generate substantially identical sequences to produce expression products and proteins with the same biological properties. These "biologically equivalent" or "biologically active" polypeptides are encoded by equivalent polynucleotides described herein. They may have primary amino acid sequences that are at least 60%, or alternatively at least 65%, or alternatively at least 70%, or alternatively at least 75%, or alternatively at least 80%, or alternatively at least 85%, or alternatively at least 90%, or alternatively at least 95%, or alternatively at least 98% identical to a reference polypeptide when compared using sequence identity methods performed under default conditions. Specific polypeptide sequences are provided as examples of specific embodiments. Alterations to sequences or amino acids by substituting amino acids with similar charges are also provided. Furthermore, an equivalent polynucleotide is a polynucleotide that hybridizes under stringent conditions to a reference polynucleotide or its complement, or, with respect to polypeptides, a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes under stringent conditions to a reference encoding polynucleotide or its complementary strand. Alternatively, an equivalent polypeptide or protein is a polypeptide or protein expressed from an equivalent polynucleotide.
[0151] "Hybridization" refers to a reaction in which one or more polynucleotides react to form a stabilized complex through hydrogen bonding between the bases of the nucleotide residues. Hydrogen bonding can occur by Watson-Crick base pairing, Hoogstein binding, or in any other sequence-specific manner. The complex can comprise two strands forming a duplex structure, three or more strands forming a multi-stranded complex, a single self-hybridized strand, or any combination of these. A hybridization reaction can constitute a step in a more extensive process, such as the initiation of a PCR reaction or the enzymatic cleavage of a polynucleotide by a ribozyme.
[0152] Examples of stringent hybridization conditions include an incubation temperature of about 25°C to about 37°C, a hybridization buffer concentration of about 6x SSC to about 10x SSC, a formamide concentration of about 0% to about 25%, and a wash solution of about 4x SSC to about 8x SSC. Examples of moderate hybridization conditions include an incubation temperature of about 40°C to about 50°C, a buffer concentration of about 9x SSC to about 2x SSC, a formamide concentration of about 30% to about 50%, and a wash solution of about 5x SSC to about 2x SSC. Examples of high stringency conditions include an incubation temperature of about 55°C to about 68°C, a buffer concentration of about 1x SSC to about 0.1x SSC, a formamide concentration of about 55% to about 75%, and a wash solution of about 1x SSC, 0.1x SSC, or deionized water. Generally, hybridization incubation times range from 5 minutes to 24 hours, with one, two, or more wash steps, with wash incubation times of about 1, 2, or 15 minutes. SSC is a 0.15 M NaCl and 15 mM citrate buffer. It is understood that equivalents of SSC using other buffer systems can be used.
[0153] "Homology" or "identity" or "similarity" refers to the sequence similarity between two peptides or two nucleic acid molecules. Homology can be determined by comparing a position in each sequence, which can be aligned for comparison. If a position in the compared sequences is occupied by the same base or amino acid, the molecules are homologous at that position. The degree of homology between sequences depends on the number of matching or homologous positions shared by the sequences. An "unrelated" or "non-homologous" sequence shares less than 40% identity, or alternatively, less than 25% identity, with one of the sequences of the present invention.
[0154] Modes for Carrying Out the Disclosure Point mutations underlie many genetic diseases. While programmable DNA nucleases have been used to repair these mutations, their use in gene therapy poses several challenges. First, homologous recombination efficiency is typically low in cells. Second, active nucleases pose the risk of introducing persistent off-target mutations. Third, common programmable nucleases typically contain elements of non-human origin, which increases the potential for in vivo immunogenicity. In light of these challenges, approaches that directly target RNA and utilize host-specific molecular machinery would be highly desirable instead. Toward this end, the applicant has designed and optimized two complementary approaches, collectively referred to herein as tRiADs, based on the use of tRNAs for codon suppression and adenosine deaminase for RNA editing. Specifically, by delivering modified endogenous tRNA or RNA-editing enzyme ADAR and associated guide RNA (adRNA) via adeno-associated virus, applicants have enabled readthrough and correction of premature stop codons in the mdx mouse model, which has a nonsense mutation in the dystrophin gene. Furthermore, applicants have demonstrated that spf, a mouse model of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, can be mediated by the dystrophin gene. ashWe engineered ADAR2-mediated correction of a point mutation in liver RNA in a mouse model. Collectively, the results disclosed herein establish the use of suppressor tRNAs and ADAR2 for RNA targeting in vivo, and this integrated tRiAD approach is robust, genomically intact, and potentially non-immunogenic because it utilizes an effector RNA and a human protein.
[0155] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a tRNA-based protein editing system, optionally alone or in combination with an ADAR-based RNA editing system comprising one or more forward guide RNAs (“adRNAs”) for an ADAR and one or more corresponding reverse guide RNAs (“radRNAs”) for the ADAR for a subject, wherein the ADAR-based RNA editing system specifically edits point mutations in an RNA sequence encoding a gene.
[0156] The tRNA-based protein editing system can include endogenous modified tRNAs and / or orthogonal tRNAs to prevent off-target editing of proteins. In this regard, systems for controlling these tRNAs are disclosed below.
[0157] The construction of adRNAs for use in ADAR-based RNA editing systems is relatively simple, comprising an RNA targeting domain complementary to the target and, optionally, one or two recruitment domains (also called aptamers) that recruit the RNA-binding domains of various proteins. The optional recruitment domains are located at the 5' and / or 3' ends of the RNA targeting domain. A schematic diagram of an adRNA bound to its mRNA target is shown in Figure 23C. In some embodiments, the adRNA features an AC mismatch, which facilitates the editing function of ADARs. A similar framework can be used to target pre-mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) present in the nucleus prior to intron processing by adapting the scaffold to target these pre-mRNAs. This approach is implemented in non-limiting exemplary methods, including OTC deficiency with splice site mutations, while the mRNA editing approach is implemented in non-limiting exemplary methods, including dystrophin deficiency with nonsense mutations.
[0158] Applicants tested a series of scaffolds, shown in Figure 19C, to recruit the RNA-binding domain of ADAR. The sequence shown represents the recruitment domain, and the italicized Ns represent target-complementary nucleotides. C is a mismatch that promotes editing function. Sequences of various lengths and mismatch positions can be tested to determine the best adRNA for the desired target. For example, the residues in the recruitment domain of the adRNA generated by the applicant were modified as follows (5'-3'): JPEG2025066771000066.jpg94163
[0159] The structure of V2 after folding is provided in Figure 23D, and the corresponding radRNA was generated as follows: JPEG2025066771000067.jpg90148
[0160] A summary of the resulting adRNA and radRNA pairs for the target mRNA is shown in Figure 16C.
[0161] Another scaffold framework using two ADAR recruitment domains (black text) at either end of the targeting domain with varying positions of C mismatches in the targeting domain (N in italics) was also applied by the applicants. JPEG2025066771000068.jpg14163
[0162] These non-limiting exemplary scaffolds provide templates for engineering adRNAs and radRNAs to specific targets and can be optimized based on comparative efficacy studies performed according to the exemplary methods disclosed herein.
[0163] In some embodiments, the ADAR-based editing system further comprises ADAR1, ADAR2, E488Q, and E100Q mutants, a fusion protein comprising an ADAR catalytic domain and a domain associated with an RNA hairpin motif, a fusion protein comprising an ADAR catalytic domain and dead Cas9, or a fusion protein comprising an ADAR double-stranded binding domain and APOBEC. In further embodiments, the domain associated with an RNA hairpin motif is selected from the group consisting of MS2 bacteriophage coat protein (MCP) and N22 peptide. In some embodiments, the adRNA comprises one or more RNA hairpin motifs. In some embodiments, the one or more RNA hairpin motifs are selected from the group consisting of MS2 stem-loop and BoxB loop.
[0164] Without being bound by theory, the applicant believes that the double-stranded RNA-binding motif from ADARs may bind to some double-stranded RNA sequences, potentially resulting in off-target effects. To avoid such effects, the applicant envisions using an exogenous protein domain to recognize the RNA hairpin motif in adRNA. Both ADAR1 and ADAR2 consist of an RNA-binding domain and a catalytic domain that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine to inosine. The catalytic domain can be separated from the RNA-binding domain. Our goal is to achieve high editing efficiency of the target adenosine while reducing off-target effects, and therefore we are exploring alternative RNA-binding domains. The applicant fused the catalytic domain of ADAR1 or ADAR2 to different RNA-binding domains, such as MCP, N22, or dead-type CjCas9 (or other RNA-targeting CRISPRs, such as SaCas9 and CRISPR-Cas13). Upon addition of an appropriate guide RNA (adRNA), the fusion protein is recruited to the target and further catalyzes the conversion of adenosine to inosine. In this case, the dead CjCas9 (and by extension other CRISPRs) essentially functions as an RNA-binding domain, which in turn can be tethered to an effector.
[0165] The domain is fused to the ADAR catalytic domain to generate an ADAR that specifically targets a particular adRNA containing an RNA hairpin motif. For example, the applicant used the MS2 bacteriophage coat protein (MCP) fused to the catalytic domain of ADAR1 or ADAR2 and their respective mutants E488Q and E1008Q, and recruited the fusion protein using the MS2 stem loop of the RNA (Figure 23A). Similar to this system, the applicant also used the N22 peptide fused to the catalytic domain of ADAR1 or ADAR2 (and its mutants) while using the boxB aptamer to recruit the fusion protein. Thus, one or two copies of the ADAR can be recruited based on the addition of a single or double hairpin (MS2 / BoxB loop) (Figure 23A). The PP7 hairpin could also be used similarly.
[0166] Non-limiting framework sequences for recruitment of MCP-based fusion proteins, where C mismatches may be varied within the targeting domain, are shown herein below (lowercase letters represent linkers that serve to stabilize the underlined hairpin): Another non-limiting framework sequence is provided for an N22-based fusion protein: JPEG2025066771000070.jpg33115
[0167] Another approach is to recruit Cas9 and associated adRNA domains, linking dead Cas9 to the ADAR catalytic domain, which achieves the same effect of specific recruitment. Non-limiting framework sequences for recruitment are provided for Cas9-based fusion proteins: JPEG2025066771000071.jpg39150
[0168] APOBEC also has RNA editing functions (Figure 23B). Therefore, it can be used instead of or in addition to an ADAR-based editing system. For example, applicants have created MCP / N22 peptide fusions with APOBEC to engineer targeted C→T RNA editing. Furthermore, applicants have fused the double-stranded RNA-binding domain (dsRBD) of ADAR2 with APOBEC, allowing it to be recruited by adRNA.
[0169] Addition of a nuclear localization signal (NLS) to the fusion protein can aid in targeting nuclear RNA (i.e., pre-mRNA), and addition of a nuclear export signal (NES) to the fusion protein can aid in targeting cytoplasmic RNA in any of the embodiments disclosed herein. This method is useful for editing splice site mutations, which result in incorrect processing of pre-mRNA introns, resulting in incorrect mRNA for translation. OTC deficiency is a useful example of targeting pre-mRNA with an adRNA backbone, as the majority of abnormal OTC expression results from splice site mutations that result in truncated OTC proteins. Further addition of an RNA localization (translocation) tag to the adRNA can target the RNA to specific cellular compartments.
[0170] In further embodiments where the adRNA comprises one or more RNA hairpin motifs, the one or more RNA hairpin motifs are stabilized by substituting AU for GC. In some embodiments, the adRNA is stabilized by incorporating one or more of 2'-O-methyl, 2'-O-methyl 3' phosphorothioate, or 2'-O-methyl 3' thio PACE at one or both ends of the adRNA.
[0171] More generally, it can be understood that the RNA targeting domain of an adRNA is designed to be complementary to a target mRNA while containing a C mismatch at the target adenosine position. The recruitment domain of an adRNA is constant. Non-limiting examples include: JPEG2025066771000072.jpg178167JPEG2025066771000073.jpg84147
[0172] An alternative or adaptive approach to prevent off-target effects is to utilize endogenous ADARs. While ADAR2 is highly expressed in tissues such as the brain, lung, and spleen, ADAR1 is ubiquitously expressed and generally has a higher expression level than ADAR1. Therefore, the applicant proposes two methods to manipulate RNA editing by endogenous ADARs. First, ADAR1 expression can be stimulated by molecules such as interferon, e.g., interferon α. Second, scaffolds have been specifically designed to recruit ADAR1, and experiments have been conducted with the v1-v13 scaffold as well as several chemically modified scaffolds disclosed herein above. Using endogenous ADARs, as opposed to overexpression, can help limit off-target effects.
[0173] Recombinant Expression Systems and Vectors Aspects of the present disclosure relate to vectors and recombinant expression systems.
[0174] For example, some aspects relate to vectors encoding one or more tRNAs having anticodon sequences that recognize a codon containing a point mutation in an RNA sequence encoding a protein, optionally resulting in a premature stop codon. In some embodiments, the point mutation results in a nonsense mutation with the DNA sequence TAA and the RNA sequence UAA. In some embodiments, the tRNA is an endogenous tRNA with a modified anticodon stem that recognizes the codon containing the point mutation. In further embodiments, the tRNA is charged with serine. In some embodiments, the tRNA is an orthogonal tRNA charged with a non-standard amino acid. In further embodiments, the vector further comprises a corresponding tRNA synthetase. In some embodiments, the corresponding synthetase is E. coli glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase. In some embodiments involving an orthogonal tRNA, the non-standard amino acid is pyrrolysine. In some embodiments, the vector encodes two tRNAs having anticodon sequences that recognize a codon containing a point mutation. In some embodiments, the vector is an AAV vector, optionally an AAV8 vector. In some embodiments, the protein is dystrophin.
[0175]
[0010] Further aspects relate to recombinant expression systems comprising one or more vectors encoding an ADAR-based RNA editing system comprising one or more forward guide RNAs ("adRNAs") for ADARs and one or more corresponding reverse guide RNAs ("radRNAs") for ADARs for delivery to a subject, wherein the ADAR-based RNA editing system specifically edits point mutations in protein-encoding RNA sequences. In some embodiments, the point mutation results in a nonsense mutation, optionally a premature stop codon, having the DNA sequence TAA and the RNA sequence UAA. In some embodiments, the ADAR-based RNA editing system converts UAA to UIA, and optionally further converts UIA to UII. In some embodiments, the ADAR-based RNA editing system converts UAA to UAI. In some embodiments, the point mutation results in a missense mutation or splice site, having the DNA sequence CAG and the RNA sequence CAG. In some embodiments, the ADAR-based RNA editing system converts CAG to CIG. In further embodiments, the one or more vectors further encode a tRNA that targets an amber codon. In some embodiments, the ADAR-based editing system further comprises ADAR1, ADAR2, E488Q, and E100Q mutants, a fusion protein comprising the catalytic domain of ADAR and a domain associated with an RNA hairpin motif, a fusion protein comprising the catalytic domain of ADAR and a dead Cas9, or a fusion protein comprising the double-stranded binding domain of ADAR and an APOBEC. In further embodiments, the domain associated with an RNA hairpin motif is selected from the group consisting of MS2 bacteriophage coat protein (MCP) and N22 peptide. In some embodiments, the adRNA comprises one or more RNA hairpin motifs. In some embodiments, the one or more RNA hairpin motifs are selected from the group consisting of MS2 stem loops and BoxB loops, and / or are stabilized by substituting AU for GC.In some embodiments, the adRNA is stabilized by incorporating one or more of 2'-O-methyl, 2'-O-methyl 3' phosphorothioate, or 2'-O-methyl 3' thio PACE at one or both ends of the adRNA.
[0176] Generally, methods for packaging genetic material, such as RNA, into one or more vectors are well known in the art. For example, the genetic material can be packaged using packaging vectors and cell lines and introduced by conventional recombinant methods.
[0177] In some embodiments, packaging vectors include, but are not limited to, retroviral vectors, lentiviral vectors, adenoviral vectors, and adeno-associated viral vectors (optionally AAV8). Packaging vectors contain factors and sequences that facilitate the delivery of genetic material into cells. For example, the retroviral construct is a packaging plasmid containing at least one retroviral helper DNA sequence derived from a replication-deficient retroviral genome that encodes all virion proteins in trans required for packaging a replication-deficient retroviral vector without the production of a replication-competent helper virus and for producing virion proteins capable of packaging high-titer replication-deficient retroviral vectors. The retroviral DNA sequence lacks the region encoding the natural enhancer and / or promoter of the viral 5' LTR of the virus, lacks both the psi functional sequence involved in packaging the helper genome, and the 3' LTR, but encodes an exogenous polyadenylation site, such as the SV40 polyadenylation site, and an exogenous enhancer and / or promoter that directs efficient transcription in the cell type in which viral production is desired. The retrovirus is a leukemia virus such as Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV). The exogenous enhancer and promoter can be the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) immediate early (IE) enhancer and promoter, the Moloney murine sarcoma virus (MMSV) enhancer and promoter (U3 region), the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) U3 region, the spleen focus forming virus (SFFV) U3 region, or the HCMV IE enhancer linked to a native Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV) promoter.
[0178] The retroviral packaging plasmid may consist of two retroviral helper DNA sequences encoded by a plasmid-based expression vector. For example, the first helper sequence contains cDNA encoding the gag and pol proteins of ecotropic MMLV or GALV, and the second helper sequence contains cDNA encoding the env protein. The Env gene that determines the host range may be derived from xenotropic, amphotropic, ecotropic, polytropic (mink focus-forming), or 10A1 murine leukemia virus env protein, or gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV) env protein, human immunodeficiency virus env (gp160) protein, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein, genes encoding human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) type I and type II env gene products, chimeric envelope genes derived from a combination of one or more of the above env genes, or chimeric envelope genes encoding the cytoplasmic and transmembrane portions of the above env gene products, and monoclonal antibodies against specific surface molecules of desired target cells. Similar vector-based systems may use other vectors such as the sleeping beauty vector or transposon-based elements.
[0179] The resulting packaged expression system can then be introduced via an appropriate route of administration, as discussed in detail with respect to the method aspects disclosed herein.

[0188] Methods for restoring protein expression Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods for restoring protein expression.
[0189] For example, some aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method of restoring expression of a protein containing a point mutation in an RNA sequence encoding the protein in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a vector encoding one or more tRNAs having an anticodon sequence that recognizes the codon containing the point mutation, optionally wherein the point mutation results in a premature stop codon. In some embodiments, the point mutation results in a nonsense mutation having the DNA sequence TAA and the RNA sequence UAA. In some embodiments, the tRNA is an endogenous tRNA having a modified anticodon stem that recognizes the codon containing the point mutation. In further embodiments, the tRNA is charged with serine. In some embodiments, the tRNA is an orthogonal tRNA charged with a non-standard amino acid. In further embodiments, the vector further comprises a corresponding tRNA synthetase. In some embodiments, the corresponding synthetase is E. coli glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase. In some embodiments involving an orthogonal tRNA, the non-standard amino acid is pyrrolysine. In further embodiments, pyrrolysine is introduced into the subject's diet. In some embodiments, the vector encodes two tRNAs having anticodon sequences that recognize the codon containing the point mutation. In some embodiments, the protein is dystrophin.
[0190] Another aspect relates to a recombinant expression system comprising one or more vectors encoding an ADAR-based RNA editing system comprising one or more forward guide RNAs ("adRNAs") for ADAR and one or more corresponding reverse guide RNAs ("radRNAs") for ADAR in a subject, wherein the ADAR-based RNA editing system specifically edits a point mutation in an RNA sequence encoding a protein. In some embodiments, the point mutation results in a nonsense mutation having the DNA sequence TAA and the RNA sequence UAA, optionally resulting in a premature stop codon. In some embodiments, the ADAR-based RNA editing system converts UAA to UIA, and optionally further converts UIA to UII. In some embodiments, the ADAR-based RNA editing system converts UAA to UAI. In some embodiments, the RNA targeted in the mRNA optionally includes a nonsense or missense mutation. In further embodiments, the one or more vectors further encode a tRNA that targets an amber codon. In some embodiments, the protein is dystrophin. In some embodiments, the point mutation results in a missense mutation or splice site having the DNA sequence CAG and the RNA sequence CAG. In some embodiments, the ADAR-based RNA editing system converts CAG to CIG. In some embodiments, the targeted RNA is a pre-mRNA, optionally containing a splice site mutation. In some embodiments, the ADAR-based editing system further comprises ADAR1, ADAR2, E488Q, and E100Q mutants, a fusion protein comprising the catalytic domain of ADAR and a domain associated with an RNA hairpin motif, a fusion protein comprising the catalytic domain of ADAR and a dead Cas9, or a fusion protein comprising the double-stranded binding domain of ADAR and an APOBEC. In further embodiments, the domain associated with an RNA hairpin motif is selected from the group consisting of MS2 bacteriophage coat protein (MCP) and N22 peptide. In some embodiments, the adRNA contains one or more RNA hairpin motifs.In some embodiments, the one or more RNA hairpin motifs are selected from the group of MS2 stem-loop and BoxB loop, and / or are stabilized by substituting AU with GC. In some embodiments, the adRNA is stabilized by incorporating one or more of 2'-O-methyl, 2'-O-methyl 3' phosphorothioate, or 2'-O-methyl 3' thio PACE at one or both ends of the adRNA.
[0191] In either case, assessment of whether protein expression has been "restored" is accomplished by protein quantification compared to a baseline. The baseline can optionally be calculated based on the subject's previous levels or as the population-normal level adjusted for the subject's age, ethnicity, and other relevant demographic information. Techniques for quantifying protein expression are well known in the art and may optionally utilize a control or threshold for comparison with the baseline value. Methods known in the art for such studies include, but are not limited to, qRTPCR, ELISA, Western blot, protein immunostaining, spectroscopy and / or spectroscopy-based methods, and other assays commonly performed to determine protein expression levels in samples from subjects. Alternatively, "restoration" effects can be determined based on clinical outcomes. For example, abnormal dystrophin levels are associated with symptoms of muscular dystrophy. Therefore, restoration of expression can be determined externally based on clinical signals, such as the alleviation or reversal of these symptoms. For dystrophin, improvement in muscle strength is one such indicator. Thus, physicians may perform strength measurements to determine results. Another example is ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), where abnormal OTC levels are the result of a rare X-linked genetic disorder that results in excessive accumulation of ammonia (due to nitrogen accumulation) in the blood. Thus, a relevant clinical outcome may be a reduction in ammonia in a biological sample such as blood or urine. Similarly, clinical signals associated with a protein of interest and the expression of downstream proteins of the protein of interest may be relevant indicators of "recovery" in which the protein of interest is involved in a particular pathway.

[0197] Those skilled in the art will understand that the dosages and routes of administration used in these methods may vary based on the subject and the disease, disorder, or condition being treated. Based on knowledge in the art, one can select a suitable dosage and route based on the subject's age, ethnicity, and other relevant demographic factors.

[0200] As accepted, the proposed kit components may be packaged in a conventional manner for use by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the proposed kit components may be provided in solution, as a liquid dispersion, or the like.
[0201] Example The following examples are non-limiting and illustrative procedures that can be used in various instances to practice the present disclosure. Additionally, all references disclosed herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0202] Example 1: Design of tRNA constructs tRNA constructs were designed to recognize the nonsense-mutated TAA according to the schematic diagram in Figure 1. Both modified endogenous and orthogonal tRNAs were generated. These constructs were validated in vitro using GFP carrying the nonsense mutation. It was determined that each AAV vector for both the modified endogenous and orthogonal tRNAs contained two copies of the tRNA. MbPyl synthetase was selected for use with the orthogonal tRNA. AAV vectors were generated containing the tRNA and GFP (and the synthetase, if an orthogonal tRNA was used). The sequences used in these constructs are provided in the Sequence Listing above.
[0203] Example 2: Restoration of full-length dystrophin in mdx mice The anticodon stem of human serine tRNA has been modified to recognize a nonsense codon (TAA). Endogenous tRNAs are unable to recognize the stop codon, and translation terminates when the ribosome reaches the stop codon. mdx mice have a nonsense mutation (TAA) in the gene encoding dystrophin, resulting in the lack of full-length dystrophin expression. AAV was used to deliver two copies of the modified tRNA into mouse muscle, allowing readthrough of the stop codon, enabling the expression of full-length dystrophin.
[0204] Calf muscles of mdx mice were injected with 1E12 particles of AAV8 carrying two copies of a modified serine tRNA and a GFP gene. The mice were then sacrificed one month later, and the calf muscles were harvested. The muscles were sectioned and stained with an antibody against dystrophin. A clear restoration of dystrophin expression was observed, as well as improvement in muscle morphology.
[0205] Therefore, the applicant demonstrated the activity of the applicant's vector in vitro using a GFP gene with a stop codon. In addition, the applicant demonstrated the restoration of dystrophin expression in mdx mouse muscle. Within one month after injecting mdx mice with AAV carrying two copies of serine tRNA, the applicant observed the restoration of dystrophin expression in the calf muscle by immunohistochemistry. The applicant also observed an improvement in muscle morphology.
[0206] This experiment will be repeated using the orthogonal tRNA to introduce pyrrolysine via the mouse feed, and again replicated with both tRNAs in a larger population of mice.
[0207] Example 3: Dietary Production of Therapeutic Proteins Applicant aims to achieve in vivo, on-demand production by skeletal muscle of therapeutic agents such as (i) insulin; and (ii) neutralizing antibodies against viruses (e.g., HIV, HCV, HPV, influenza) and bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus; drug-resistant strains).
[0208] Desired transgenes are delivered to muscle via AAV (or lentivirus) along with an orthogonal tRNA / tRNA synthetase pair. These transgenes contain premature termination codons (STOP codons) that prevent full-length protein expression. For on-demand synthesis of therapeutic agents, appropriate unnatural amino acids are consumed in the diet, which are subsequently incorporated by the orthogonal tRNA / tRNA synthetase at the premature termination site, allowing for the synthesis of the desired therapeutic agent.
[0209] Example 4: ADAR2-based RNA editing Applicant suspected that ADAR2 (adenosine deaminase acting on RNA) corrects the mutation at the mRNA level. Applicant used adeno-associated viruses to deliver ADAR2 and adRNA (forward ADAR2 guide) or radRNA (reverse ADAR2 guide) that induce the enzyme in the mutant gene in an attempt to restore dystrophin expression in the mdx mouse model of DMD by editing the nonsense mutation. Applicant also applied this technology to a mouse model of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, a metabolic disorder.
[0210] Compared to nucleases, ADARs create site-specific adenosine-to-inosine (A→I) changes in mRNA, which are read as guanosine (G) during translation, thereby creating a safer alternative to permanent off-target effects. Furthermore, because they perform editing at the mRNA level, the altered protein is only expressed transiently. Nucleases in adult OTC-deficient mice resulted in large deletions, which proved lethal to the animals. The use of ADARs may circumvent this problem. This could be a readily translatable solution for several disorders characterized by point mutations. Furthermore, ADAR2 is human in origin, thereby minimizing the body's immune response to it. The applicant also combines the concept of tRNA silencing with ADAR2-based RNA editing. Furthermore, the applicant engineered hairpin loops (3' overlaps) and toeholds (5' overlaps) to help improve the specificity of adRNA / radRNA. The applicant is also continuing to optimize the length of adRNAs and the ADAR2 recruitment domain of adRNA / radRNAs for efficient A→I editing.
[0211] Previous studies have utilized nucleases such as Cas9 to delete mutated regions of the dystrophin / OTC gene and replace them with functional copies to treat DMD or OTC deficiency caused by point mutations. Existing treatments for DMD include the use of corticosteroids, which delay the onset of symptoms. Another strategy involves readthrough of premature stop codons using drugs such as ataluren or gentamicin. Another strategy involves exon skipping, which results in a truncated protein but can reduce the severity of the DMD phenotype. Another method involves delivery of the μ-dystrophin gene. Clinical trials for OTC deficiency are currently being attempted using adenoviral vectors to deliver OTC cDNA to patients. Other therapeutic approaches include the use of sodium phenylbutyrate, which helps increase waste nitrogen excretion.
[0212] The use of ADAR2 as an engineered RNA-editing enzyme has only been demonstrated in vitro.
[0213] Applicant utilized adRNA and radRNA, which are composed of two domains, one complementary to the target sequence and the other an ADAR2 recruitment domain. Applicant utilized AAV to deliver these adRNA / radRNA together with the ADAR2 enzyme. mdx mice have a nonsense mutation (TAA) in the gene encoding dystrophin. Applicant packaged two copies of adRNA / radRNA or a combination of adRNA / radRNA and tRNA together with the ADAR2 enzyme into AAV and delivered it to the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle. Applicant utilized three alternative strategies to restore dystrophin expression: (1) adRNA / radRNA that can edit adenosines to inosines in both “TAAs”; (2) a sequential approach in which the first adRNA / radRNA converts TAA → TGA, and the next adRNA / radRNA converts it to TGG, restoring expression; (3) The combination of adRNA / radRNA and tRNA, whereby adRNA / radRNA converts TAA to TAG, and tRNA suppression of the amber codon (TAG) restores dystrophin expression.
[0214] Applicants also delivered two copies of adRNA targeting the OTC G→A mutation in spf-ash mice, along with ADAR2, to the liver via retroorbital injection.
[0215] This system works by editing adenosines to inosines (which are read as guanosines during translation). It can be used to correct point mutations as well as restore expression by editing premature stop codons. In Figure 6, A. An amber stop codon can be converted to a tryptophan codon in one edit. B. An ochre stop codon—both edited in one step. C. An ochre stop codon—sequential editing. D. An ochre stop codon—ADAR2 editing in conjunction with a suppressor tRNA.
[0216] The following 10 steps represent the workflow for testing these constructs: 1. Design and clone ADAR2 constructs—adRNA and radRNA. 2. In vitro validation of the construct using GFP carrying a nonsense mutation. 3. Modification of the construct - Decision to clone two copies of adRNA / radRNA. Creation of a vector with one copy of adRNA / radRNA and one copy of serine suppressor tRNA. 4. Generation of AAV8 vectors carrying ADAR2 and adRNA / radRNA or suppressor tRNA. 6. TA / gastrocnemius injection of mdx mice - 1E12 particles of AAV8 carrying ADAR2 together with adRNA / radRNA or suppressor tRNA were injected. 7. Six weeks after injection, mice were sacrificed and TA / gastrocnemius muscles were harvested. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect dystrophin. There was some evidence of dystrophin restoration. 8. qPCR, Western blot and NGS were performed. 9. The vector was optimized to improve efficiency by varying the length of the adRNA and the editing position. 10. Repeat steps 4-8 with the optimized vector.
[0217] We engineered adRNAs and radRNAs against the premature stop codon of GFP and demonstrated reliable restoration of expression (Figure 5). At the ochre stop codon (TAA), two A-to-G edits are required to restore expression. We constructed two ad / radRNAs that sequentially target a single A or a single ad / radRNA that targets both A's. We also constructed an adRNA / radRNA + suppressor tRNA vector that combines RNA editing and tRNA suppression.
[0218] In vitro RNA editing showed robust restoration of GFP expression after AAVs carrying ADAR2 and adRNA / radRNA were generated to target dystrophin nonsense mutations in mdx mice.
[0219] We injected 1E12 particles of AAV8 carrying ADAR2 and two copies of adRNA / radRNA or one copy of adRNA / radRNA and a suppressor tRNA into the tibialis anterior (TA) or gastrocnemius muscles of mdx mice. Six weeks later, the mice were sacrificed and the appropriate muscles were harvested. Muscles were sectioned and stained with an antibody against dystrophin. Partial restoration of dystrophin expression was observed.
[0220] Overall, Applicants observed partial restoration of dystrophin expression by immunostaining, however, Western blot and NGS showed no evidence of editing / restoration of dystrophin expression.
[0221] Potential applications of this system include targeting point mutations for the treatment of disorders such as, but not limited to, DMD, OTC deficiency, Wilson's disease, and hereditary tyrosinemia type 1. It can also be used to create alternative start codons, allowing the coexistence of a protein and its N-terminally truncated form.
[0222] Example 5: ADAR editing in a mouse model Genome engineering methodologies combined with the rapidly advancing synthetic biology toolset are enabling powerful capabilities to perturb genomes to decipher function, program novel functions, and repair abnormal functions. In particular, programmable DNA nucleases such as meganucleases, zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and CRISPR-Cas have been widely used to manipulate genomes in a wide range of organisms. However, their use in gene therapy poses at least three major challenges: first, the efficiency of homologous recombination versus non-homologous end-joining is typically low, especially in postmitotic cells, which constitute the majority of adult organisms; second, active nucleases always pose the threat of introducing permanent off-target mutations, thus ensuring strict regulation of nuclease dose and duration in target cells without compromising activity, as well as sophisticated nuclease specificity, presenting significant challenges in both operation; and third, common programmable nucleases are either of prokaryotic origin or possess domains of nonhuman origin, which raise significant risks of immunogenicity in in vivo therapeutic applications. The recent emergence of base editing approaches has opened up exciting alternative strategies for gene targeting, but demonstrated approaches rely on CRISPR-Cas systems of prokaryotic origin. Therefore, for genomic mutations that result in altered protein function, such as those causing disease, an approach that directly targets RNA would be highly desirable instead. Leveraging the fact that single-stranded RNA is generally more accessible to oligonucleotide-mediated targeting than double-stranded DNA without the need for additional targeting proteins, and building on advances in tRNA-mediated codon suppression and genetic code expansion, as well as adenosine deaminase-mediated RNA editing, we have engineered and optimized an integrated platform for RNA targeting and demonstrated its efficacy in in vitro and in vivo applications.
[0223] Vector design and construction To construct the GFP reporters—GFP-amber, GFP-ochre, and GFP-opal—three gene blocks were synthesized with "TAG," "TAA," and "TGA," respectively, replacing the Y39 residue of wild-type GFP, and cloned downstream of a CAG promoter. One, two, or four copies of endogenous suppressor tRNA were cloned into AAV vectors containing human and mouse U6 promoters. Pyrrolidinyl tRNA and adRNA / radRNA were similarly cloned into AAV vectors containing human and mouse U6 promoters, along with the CMV promoters driving the expression of MbPylRS / MmPylRS / AcKRS or hADAR2, respectively.
[0224] Mammalian cell culture and transfection All HEK 293T cells were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic (Thermo Fisher) in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. All in vitro transfection experiments were performed in HEK 293T cells using the commercially available transfection reagent Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher). All in vitro suppression and editing experiments were performed in 24-well plates using 500 ng of reporter plasmid and 1000 ng of suppressor tRNA / aaRS plasmid or adRNA / ADAR2 plasmid. Cells were transfected at 30% confluence. For suppression and editing quantification, cells were harvested 48 and 72 hours after transfection, respectively. UAA Nε-Boc-L-lysine (Chemimpex) and Nε-acetyl-L-lysine (Sigma) were added to the medium at the desired concentrations before transfection.
[0225] AAV vector production Viruses were prepared at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies (La Jolla, CA) using protocols from the Gene Transfer, Targeting, and Therapeutics (GT3) Core. AAV8 viral particles were produced using a triple transfection method in HEK293T cells and purified by iodixanol gradient. Confluency at the time of transfection was approximately 80%. Two hours before transfection, DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS was added to the HEK293T cells. Each virus was produced in 5 x 15 cm plates by transfecting each plate with 7.5 μg of pXR-8, 7.5 μg of recombinant transfer vector, and 7.5 μg of pHelper vector using PEI (1 μg / μL linear PEI in 1x DPBS pH 4.5, HCl) at a PEI:DNA mass ratio of 4:1. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes and then added dropwise to the cell culture medium. Virus was harvested 72 hours later and purified using iodixanol density gradient ultracentrifugation.

[0230] statistical analysis All statistical analyses were performed using the software Graphpad Prism, and p values were calculated by unpaired two-tailed t-test.
[0231] result Applicant first focused on establishing a system for targeting nonsense mutations. This was motivated by the fact that nonsense mutations account for 11% of all genetic lesions described to cause inherited human diseases and nearly 20% of disease-associated single-nucleotide substitutions affecting the coding regions of genes. Specifically, Applicant explored two independent but complementary approaches to directly target nonsense mutations. First, Applicant focused on engineering robust nonsense codon suppression via suppressor tRNAs. While the use of suppressor tRNAs for premature stop codon readthrough of endogenous nonsense mutations has been attempted in vivo in mice, these previous studies relied solely on plasmid delivery and did not explore the use of robust, optimized delivery formats. Furthermore, the potential use of unnatural amino acids (UAAs) for inducible in vivo suppression of disease-causing endogenous nonsense mutations has not been explored. Toward this end, we first engineered the anticodon stems of serine, arginine, and leucine tRNAs to generate suppressor tRNAs targeting all three stop codons, amber, opal, and ochre, and evaluated these constructs in cells using GFP reporters carrying the corresponding nonsense mutations. Among these, the serine suppressor tRNA demonstrated the most consistent and robust results (Figures 16A and 18A). To engineer UAA-mediated inducible codon suppression, we next engineered a pyrrolysyl-tRNA / aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS) pair (MbPylRS) from Methanosarcina barkeri. 32,33 Applicants utilized a tRNA gene encoding an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (MmPylRS) from Methanosarcina mazei (Methanosarcina mazei) and cloned it into an AAV vector, which allows programmable incorporation of UAA at the stop codon. Notably, Applicants found that adding a second copy of the tRNA to the expression vector significantly boosted the suppression efficiency (Figure 18B). Applicants further utilized an additional aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (MmPylRS) from Methanosarcina mazei (Methanosarcina mazei). 34and Nε-acetyl-lysyl-tRNA synthetase (AcKRS) were systematically evaluated, and the number of tRNA copies per vector was also explored, varying up to four (Figure 18B).
[0232] Because suppressor tRNA-based approaches can lead to readthrough of other non-targeted stop codons, the Applicant simultaneously engineered a system for sequence-specific targeted RNA editing using the adenosine deaminase enzyme. Specifically, adenosine-to-inosine (A to I) editing is a common post-transcriptional modification in RNA catalyzed by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR). Inosine is the deaminated form of adenosine and is biochemically recognized as guanine. Recently, several studies have demonstrated the manipulation of ADAR2-mediated targeting in vitro, including the correction of a nonsense mutation in CFTR in Xenopus oocytes. Based on this, herein, we engineered a system for sequence-specific targeted RNA editing in vitro and in vivo using the human ADAR2 enzyme and a related ADAR2 guide RNA (adRNA) engineered from its natural substrate, GluR2 pre-mRNA. This ADAR2 guide RNA contains an ADAR recruitment domain and a programmable antisense region complementary to a specific target RNA sequence. We first evaluated the RNA editing efficiency of this system in vitro by cotransfecting constructs containing a GFP reporter with a nonsense amber or ochre mutation at Y39. Specifically, we utilized two editing approaches to engineer editing of both adenosines in the ochre stop codon: a one-step mechanism in which both adenosines are edited simultaneously, or a two-step mechanism in which editing is performed sequentially. We also investigated the possibility of restoring GFP expression by converting the ochre codon to an amber codon followed by amber suppression. All three approaches enabled the restoration of GFP expression (Figure 16C, Figure 19A). Next, we constructed AAV vectors to deliver adRNA or reverse-orientation adRNA (radRNA) together with the ADAR2 enzyme. Similar to tRNA-mediated codon suppression, the addition of a second copy of adRNA / radRNA significantly improved targeting efficiency (Figure 19D). Applicant further provides modified ADAR recruitment domains and adRNAs of various lengths and targeting. 26We systematically evaluated a series of RNA-targeting antisense designs with varying R / G motifs and numbers of intervening nucleotides, resulting in a panel of efficient adRNA designs (Figure 19B-C).
[0233] Based on the above in vitro optimization, Applicant next tested the system for RNA targeting in vivo. Applicant first targeted a Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) mouse model with an ochre termination site in exon 23 of the dystrophin gene. 35 We focused on the mdx mouse model. Recent studies using the CRISPR-Cas9 system have demonstrated that DMD can be prevented by altering exon 23 at the DNA level in mdx mice. 38 These approaches have shown promising results in both cytotoxicity and partial functional recovery. Therefore, we simultaneously evaluated three approaches: 1) suppressor tRNAs derived from modified endogenous tRNAs or pyrrolysyl-tRNAs for nonsense codon suppression, 2) ADAR2-based correction of nonsense mutations, and 3) CRISPR-Cas9-based genome targeting to benchmark RNA targeting approaches (Figure 17A).
[0234] In response to this, we first designed an AAV carrying two copies of a serine suppressor tRNA targeting the ochre stop codon and injected it into the tibialis anterior (TA) or gastrocnemius muscles of mdx mice. Mice were harvested after 2, 4, and 8 weeks. Progressively improved recovery of dystrophin expression was observed over time, with mice harvested after 8 weeks showing the greatest degree of recovery (Figure 17B, Figure 20A). Additionally, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) activity was restored in the muscle membrane, which is absent in mdx mice due to the lack of nNOS binding sites in the mutant dystrophin protein (Figure 17B). To further inducibly model the system, we also constructed a vector carrying two copies of a pyrrolysyl-tRNA targeting the ochre stop codon and MbPylRS. The vector was then injected into the TA or gastrocnemius muscles of mdx mice. Mice were then divided into two groups: a group administered pyrrolysine UAA and a control group without pyrrolysine UAA. As expected, only mice given UAA showed nNOS localization at the sarcolemma (FIG. 20B) and restored dystrophin expression (FIG. 20C).
[0235] Next, we evaluated the ADAR2-based site-specific RNA editing approach in this mouse model. To test the effectiveness of this system in editing both adenosines in the ochre stop codon in mdx DMD mRNA, we first optimized the construct in vitro using a reporter plasmid carrying a fragment of mdx DMD mRNA in HEK293T cells. Sanger sequencing and NGS analysis confirmed successful targeting (Figure 21A). We then packaged the optimized construct into AAV8 and injected it into the tibialis anterior (TA) or gastrocnemius muscles of mdx mice. Eight weeks after injection, TA and gastrocnemius muscles were harvested from mdx mice, wild-type mice, and mice treated with adRNA targeting and non-targeting controls. IHC revealed a clear restoration of dystrophin expression (Figure 17B). Furthermore, nNOS activity was also restored at the sarcolemma (Figure 17B). A 0.5-0.7% rate of RNA editing (TAA→TGG / TAG / TGA) was observed in treated mice (Figure 17C, Figure 21B). It is also noteworthy that while mdx mice did not exhibit mRNA with TAA→TGG changes, treated mice exhibited up to 0.42% TAA→TGG-edited mRNA. Applicants note that the corresponding rate of CRISPR-Cas9-mediated DNA editing in published in vivo targeting studies was approximately 2%. 39 To further benchmark the tRiAD approach, we also targeted mdx mice via CRISPR-based genome editing of a nonsense mutation. We injected a vector carrying a dual gRNA to excise the exon 23 codon, and as expected, this led to the restoration of dystrophin expression in a subset of muscle cells (Figure 17B).
[0236] Finally, we also evaluated the ADAR2-mediated RNA editing approach in an independent mouse model of human disease: ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency in male sparse fur (spf) mice. ash ) focused on mouse models. ashThe mice carry a G-to-A point mutation at the last nucleotide of the fourth exon of the OTC gene, which leads to a lack of OTC mRNA and production of a mutant protein. 43 Recent studies have demonstrated the use of CRISPR-Cas9 and homologous recombination-based strategies for robust correction of this mutation in neonatal mice. However, gene correction via homology-directed repair (HDR) in adult mice was inefficient and resulted in genomic deletions that proved lethal due to impaired liver function in targeted mice. ash To test the effectiveness of this system in editing point mutations in OTC mRNA (Figure 17D), Applicants first transfected spf ash Applicant's construct was evaluated in vitro using a plasmid carrying a fragment of OTC mRNA. Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis confirmed robust RNA editing efficiency (Figure 21C). Applicant then characterized the construct as a highly liver-tropic vector. 44 Packaged into AAV8 carrying the .SEQ ID NO: 1 and inoculated with 10-12 week-old spf ash Four weeks after injection, Applicant performed immunization with spf mice treated with the ADAR2 targeting vector and non-targeting vector. ash Mice, wild-type littermates, and spf ash Liver samples were collected from the mice and editing efficiency was assessed by NGS. Notably, significant RNA editing rates ranging from 0.8 to 4.2% were observed in the spliced OTC mRNA in the treated mice (Figures S17E and S11D), further confirming the utility of this approach for in vivo editing of endogenous RNA in adult mice.
[0237] Taken together, our results establish the use of suppressor tRNA and ADAR2 as a potential strategy for in vivo RNA targeting of point mutations. Specifically, by optimizing delivery, we first demonstrated robust and inducible stop codon readthrough via the use of suppressor tRNA. Delivery of a modified endogenous suppressor tRNA for premature stop readthrough has several potential advantages: it lacks the toxicity associated with readthrough drugs such as gentamicin and can be used to provide efficient stop codon readthrough in postmitotic cells. Furthermore, because it is of endogenous origin, it is unlikely to provoke a strong immune response. Furthermore, although unnatural, the inducibility enabled by the UAA-based system may provide tight control over gene expression. Local injection of UAA into target muscles may help further improve the efficiency of this system in future studies. Notably, we observed no overt toxicity via this approach in studies targeting mdx. However, Applicant also notes that, as with readthrough drugs, an important caveat of this method is that a suppressor tRNA-based approach can lead to readthrough of other non-target stop codons. In this regard, Applicant has also demonstrated ADAR2-based site-specific correction of point mutations in RNA in two independent mouse models. Applicant notes that potential off-targets in RNA are limited compared to DNA because the transcriptome is a small subset of the genome. Second, even if an off-target exists, the enzyme requires the presence of an A within the target window to create the off-target A→G change. Finally, off-target effects are transient. Therefore, while the enzyme processivity, promiscuity, and off-target hybridization of the antisense domain of adRNA need to be thoroughly studied, the overall off-target effects of RNA-editing enzymes such as ADAR2 are likely to be limited. Furthermore, human-derived ADAR2 is less likely to elicit an immune response, while allowing for more site-specific editing of RNA compared to suppressor tRNA approaches.
[0238] Applicant also notes that compared with the tRiAD-based RNA targeting approach described above, CRISPR-based genome targeting approaches currently exhibit faster kinetics and a greater degree of mutant protein recovery. However, Applicant anticipates that systematic manipulation and directed evolution of ADAR2, coupled with insights from studies discovering novel ADAR2 regulators that may provide clues for improving its stability, may help improve the editing efficiency of ADAR2 for specific sequences and eliminate inherent biases. In this regard, Applicant tested the ADAR2-E488Q mutant and noted that it enabled higher editing efficiency than wild-type ADAR2 for both DMD and OTC mRNA fragments expressed in vitro (Figure 22). The demonstration of site-specific A→G mRNA editing in vivo paves the way for future site-specific C→T editing via targeted recruitment of cytosine deaminase, thereby potentially expanding the repertoire of RNA editing tools. However, an important consideration during targeting RNA for gene therapy through the use of non-integrating vectors such as AAV is the need for periodic re-administration of the effector construct, due to the typically limited half-life of the edited mRNA. Secondly, RNA folding, intrinsic half-life, localization, and RNA-binding proteins may also affect the accessibility of target sites within the RNA. For example, in this example, the short half-life of mutant dystrophin RNA and the need to target transient pre-mRNA in OTC may negatively affect overall editing efficiency. Specificity studies on sgRNA 49Taking cues from the coupling of shielding proteins or the recently demonstrated programmable RNA-binding proteins and RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas systems, chemical and structural modifications of tRNAs and adRNAs may help improve RNA stability and specificity and improve the efficiency of the above approaches. With progressive improvements, Applicant expects this integrated tRitAD toolset to have broad implications in both applied life sciences and basic research.
[0239] Example 6: ADAR and APOBEC editing effects Several ADAR scaffolds (both dual and single) were tested for their effectiveness in recruiting ADARs in ADAR2-overexpressing cell lines (Figures 28 and 29). Further evaluation was performed on the MCP-ADAR fusion scaffold (Figure 30). Endogenous mRNA target editing efficiency was evaluated using scaffold v2.
