AI Technical Summary
Oligonucleotides, particularly RNA, are prone to degradation in cells and serum by non-enzymatic cleavage, endonuclease cleavage, or exonuclease cleavage, which undermines the stability and efficiency of guide RNAs (gRNAs) used in CRISPR/Cas systems for gene editing.
Modified guide RNAs (gRNAs) with specific modifications, such as 5'-end and 3'-end modifications, and a hairpin region lacking at least 5 to 10 nucleotides, enhance the stability and activity of gRNA/Cas9 complexes, reducing degradation and improving gene editing efficiency.
The modifications stabilize gRNAs and enhance their activity, leading to improved gene editing efficiency and stability, particularly in therapeutic applications.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 682,838, filed on Jun. 8, 2018 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 682,820, filed on Jun. 8, 2018, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of gene editing using a CRISPR / Cas system that is part of a prokaryotic immune system that recognizes and cleaves exogenous genetic elements. The CRISPR / C as system relies on a single nuclease, CRISPR-associated protein 9 ( Cas9), to induce site-specific disruption of DNA. Cas9 is guided to a specific DNA sequence by a small RNA molecule called guide RNA (gRNA ). The complete guide RNA comprises a tracrRNA (trRNA) and a crisprRNA (crRNA). The crRNA containing the guide region needs to associate covalently or non-covalently with the trRNA to form the complete gRNA, or may be understood to associate so as to be referred to as gRNA under the understanding that the trRNA and crRNA may be included within a single guide RNA (sgRNA) or within two separate RNA molecules of a dual guide RNA (dgRNA). Cas9 in combination with the trRNA and crRNA or sgRNA is referred to as a Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP).
[0003]
[0003] Oligonucleotides, particularly RNA, may be degraded in cells and in serum by non-enzymatic cleavage, endonuclease cleavage, or exonuclease cleavage. Such Improvements to prevent unwanted degradation, improve gRNA stability, and enhance gene editing efficiency The resulting methods and compositions are particularly desirable for therapeutic applications. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In some embodiments, modified crisprRNA (crRNA) and / or modified In some embodiments, modified tracrRNA (trRNA) is provided. A and / or modified trRNAs include dual guide RNAs (dgRNAs). In some embodiments, the modified crRNA and / or the modified trRNA comprises a single guide RNA. The modifications of the crRNA and / or trRNA described herein include The addition improves the stability of the gRNA and the gRNA / Cas9 complex, allowing it to cleave the target DNA. Improve the activity of Cas9 (e.g., SauCas9, spyCas9, and equivalents) that In some embodiments, the crRNA portion of the dgRNA or sgRNA is a target It is modified in the ligation domain.
[0006] In some embodiments, the genome comprises short single guide RNAs (short sgRNAs). Editing tools are provided. In some embodiments, the short sgRNA is modified. The short sgRNAs described herein improve the stability of short sgRNAs and short sgRNA / Cas9 complexes and may improve the activity of Cas9 (e.g., SauCas9, sp yCas9, and equivalents) that cleave target DNA.
[0007] In some embodiments, the gRNA (e.g., sgRNA, short sgRNA, dgRN A, or crRNA) comprises modifications at one or more YA sites, such as those described in the following embodiments, Table 1, and Examples and associated figures. To avoid doubt, sgRNAs include, but are not limited to, short sgRNAs. As discussed in the Examples section, gRNAs can be found to be highly sensitive to RN ase A-like degradation patterns, including cleavage at unmodified YA sites. Furthermore, YA site modifications can reduce or eliminate such cleavage, and many YA site modifications appear to be tolerated without adversely affecting the ability to induce cleavage by nucleases such as C as9. Certain gRN A positions, including but not limited to those containing YA sites, have also been found to be modifiable despite other descriptions that they should not be modified due to concerns that they will be contacted by Cas9 and lose activity ( Yin et al., Nature Biotechnol. 35:1179-118 7 (2017)). Such modifications can further reduce unwanted gRNA degradation without impairing activity. Yin et al., Nature Biotechnol. 35:1179-118 7 (2017)). Such modifications can further reduce unwanted gRNA degradation without impairing activity.

Represents a polynucleotide.
[0017] The sgRNA designation may be provided with one or more leading zeros immediately following the G. This does not affect the designated meaning. Thus, for example, G000282, G0 282, G00282, and G282 refer to the same sgRNA. Similarly, the designation of crRNA and / or trRNA may each be provided with one or more leading zeros immediately following CR or TR, which does not affect the designated meaning. Thus, for example, CR000100, CR00100, CR0100, and CR100 refer to the same crRNA, and TR000200, TR00200, TR0200, and T R200 refer to the same trRNA.

[0020] Definitions As used herein, "editing efficiency" or "editing percentage" or "editing percent" refers to the total number of sequence reads having nucleotide insertions or deletions in the target region relative to the total number of sequence reads after cleavage by Cas RNP. The "region" as used herein describes conserved groups of nucleic acids. A region may also be referred to as a "module" or "domain". The region of the sgRNA can perform specific functions such as inducing the endonuclease activity of the RNP, as described in, for example, Briner AE et al., Molecular Cell 56:333-339 (2014). Exemplary regions of the sgRNA are described in Table 3.
[0021] As used herein, "hairpin" describes a double-stranded nucleic acid generated when a nucleic acid strand is folded and forms base pairs with another segment of the same strand. A hairpin can form a structure that includes a loop or a U-shape. In some embodiments, the hairpin can be composed of an RNA loop. A hairpin can be formed by two complementary sequences during the binding of a single nucleic acid molecule with folding or wrinkling of the molecule. In some embodiments, the hairpin includes a stem or a stem-loop structure. As used herein, "hairpin region" refers to hairpin 1 and hairpin 2, and the "n" between hairpin 1 and hairpin 2 in the conserved portion of the sgRNA.

[0024] As used herein, a "stem loop" refers to a nucleic acid sequence that terminates in a loop of unpaired nucleic acid. The secondary structure of nucleotides that form the base-paired "stem" Explain the structure. Two regions of the same nucleic acid strand have a small difference in sequence when read in opposite directions. When the two sequences are at least partially complementary to each other, a stem can be formed. A "base pair" is a nucleic acid that does not contain a base pair that can cap the stem (i.e., is not complementary). Describes a region of a nucleotide. "Tetraloop" describes a loop of four nucleotides. As used herein, the upper stem of the sgRNA can contain a tetraloop.
[0025] "Guide RNA", "gRNA", and "guide" refer to the CRISPR RNA), or a combination of crRNA and trRNA (traRNA These terms are used interchangeably herein to refer to either the crRNA and trRNA are single-stranded RNA molecules (single guide RNA (sgRNA) NA) or as two separate RNA molecules (dual guide RNA ( The term "guide RNA" or "gRNA" refers to each type of RNA. The trRNA may be a naturally occurring sequence or may be modified compared to the naturally occurring sequence. The guide RNA may be a trRNA sequence having a mutated or unmutated trRNA sequence as described herein. The modified RNA may include such modified RNA.
[0026] In some embodiments, the gRNA (e.g., sgRNA) includes, for example, a "guide region" that is referred to as a "spacer" or "spacer region" (however, as used herein, this is applicable to all guide RNAs) as in Brine r AE et al., Molecular Cell 56:333-339 (20 14). The guide region or spacer region may also be referred to as a "variable region", "guide domain", or "targeting domain". In some embodiments the "guide region" is present immediately prior to the "conserved portion of the sgRNA" at its 5' end, and in some embodiments, the sgRNA is a short sgRNA. An exemplary "conserved portion of the sgRNA" is shown in Table 2. In some embodiments, the "guide region" includes a series of nucleotides at the 5' end of the crR NA. In some embodiments, the guide region includes one or more YA sites ("guide region YA sites"). In some embodiments the guide region includes one or more YA sites positioned at a given nucleotide position relative to the end of the guide region from the 5' end. The range of such positions is referred to, for example, as the "5' end, 6th end, 7th end, 8th end, 9th end, or 10th end from the 5' end of the 5' end portion", and the "end" at the "5' end" etc. refers to most of the 3' nucleotides in the guide region. ( Similarly, expressions such as "nucleotide 21 end of the gRNA" refer to the range from the 21st nucleotide from the 5' end of the 5' end portion of the gRNA to the last nucleotide at the 3' end of the gRNA. ) Further, for example, the 6 nucleotides from the 5' end of a particular sgRNA segment are the 6th nucleotide of that segment, or 5 ' end. In some embodiments, the guide region includes a series of nucleotides at the 5' end of the crRNA. In some embodiments, the guide region includes one or more YA sites ("guide region YA sites"). In some embodiments the guide region includes one or more YA sites positioned at a given nucleotide position relative to the end of the guide region from the 5' end. The range of such positions is referred to, for example, as the "5' end, 6th end, 7th end, 8th end, 9th end, or 10th end from the 5' end of the 5' end portion", and the "end" at the "5' end" etc. refers to most of the 3' nucleotides in the guide region. ( Similarly, expressions such as "nucleotide 21 end of the gRNA" refer to the range from the 21st nucleotide from the 5' end of the 5' end portion of the gRNA to the last nucleotide at the 3' end of the gRNA. ) Further, for example, the 6 nucleotides from the 5' end of a particular sgRNA segment are the 6th nucleotide of that segment, or 5 ' end. ' end. ' end. ' end. ' end. ' end. ' end. “Nucleotide 6” from the ’end, e.g., is XXXXXN, where N is the 6th nucleotide from the 5’ end. The range of nucleotides located “before or after” the 6 nucleotides from the 5’ end starts with the 6th nucleotide and proceeds down the strand towards the 3’ end. Similarly, for example, a nucleotide that is 5 nucleotides from the 3’ end of the strand is the 5th nucleotide when counted from the 3’ end of the strand, e.g., NXXXX. The position or range by number in the guide region refers to the position determined from the 5’ end, unless another reference point is specified. For example, “nucleotide 5” in the guide
[0027] region is the 5th nucleotide from the 5’ end. In some embodiments, the gRNA comprises nucleotides that “match the modification pattern” at the corresponding or designated nucleotides of the gRNA described herein. This means that nucleotides that match the modification pattern have the same modification (e.g., phosphorothioate, 2’-fluoro, 2’-OMe, etc.) as the nucleotides at the corresponding positions of the gRNA described herein, regardless of whether the nucleobases at those positions are the same. For example, in a first gRNA, if nucleotides 5 and 6 have 2’-OMe and phosphorothioate modifications, respectively, this gRNA has the same modification pattern at nucleotides 5 and 6 as a second gRNA that also has 2’-OMe and phosphorothioate modifications It has. However, at nucleotide 6 but not at nucleotide 7, the 2'- OMe modification is at nucleotide 7 but not at nucleotide 6, unlike the 2'-OMe modification So, it is not the same modification pattern at nucleotides 6 and 7. Similarly, herein A modification pattern that matches at least 75% of the modification patterns of the gRNAs described herein means that at least 75% of the nucleotides have the same modification as the corresponding positions of the gRNAs described herein. The corresponding positions can be determined by pairwise or structural alignment.

[0031] As described herein with respect to the spyCas9 gRNA, the nucleotides The position of the nucleotide corresponding to d can be identified in another gRNA having sequence and / or structural similarity by pairwise or structural alignment. Structural alignment is useful when molecules share a similar structure despite large sequence variations. For example, spyCas9 and Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 ("SaCas9") have different sequences but have significant structural alignment. For example, see Figure 2(F) of Nishimasu et al., Cell 162(5):1113-11 26(2015). Structural alignment corresponds to specific positions such as nucleotides 54-58 (AAAAA) in the conserved portion of the spyCas9 s gRNA and can be used to identify nucleotides in saCas9 or other sgRNAs. can be.
[0032] Structural alignment involves (i) modeling the structure of the first sequence using the known structure of the second sequence, or (ii) comparing the structures of the first and second sequences, both of which are known, to identify corresponding residues across two (or more) sequences, and to identify the residue in the first sequence that is most similar to the residue of interest in the second sequence. The corresponding residues are based on the minimization of the distance at a given position in the superimposed structure (e.g., for polynucleotides, the nucleobase at position 1 or the 1' carbon of the pentose ring, or for polypeptides, the alpha carbon), and are identified in some algorithms (e.g., which pair of opposing positions provides the minimum mean square deviation for alignment). The position in the non-spyCas9 gRNA corresponding to the position described for the spyCa s9 gRNA When identifying, the spyCas9 gRNA can be the "second" sequence. The non-s pyCas9 gRNA has no known structure available, but another with a known structure is more closely related to the non-spyCas9 gRNA. If so, use the known structure of the closely related non-spyCas9 gRNA to model the non-spyCas9 gRNA of interest, and then compare that model to the spyCas9 gRNA structure to identify the desired corresponding residues in the non-spyCas9 gRNA of interest. This may be most effective. Extensive literature exists on protein structure modeling and alignment, and representative disclosures include US6859736, US8738343, and Aslam et al., Electronic Journal of Biotechnology 20(2 016)9-13. For considerations of structure modeling based on known related structures, see, for example, Bordoli et al., Nature Pr otocols 4(2009)1-13, and the references cited therein.

[0041] As used herein, an "RNA-Guided DNA binding agent" means a polypeptide or complex of polypeptides having RNA and DNA binding activities, or a DNA binding subunit of such a complex, wherein the DNA binding activity is sequence specific and depends on the sequence of the RNA. Exemplary RNA-guided DNA binding agents include Cas endonucleases / nickases and their inactivated forms ("dCas DNA binding agents"). As used herein, a "Cas nuclease," also referred to as a "Cas protein," includes Cas endonucleases, Cas nickases, and dCas DNA binding agents. Cas endonucleases / nickases and dCas DNA binding agents include a Csm or Cmr complex of a type III CRISPR system, the Cas10, Csm1, or Cmr2 subunit thereof, a Cascade complex of a type I CRISPR system, the Cas3 subunit thereof, and Class 2 Cas nucleases. As used herein, a "Class 2 Cas nuclease" is a single-stranded polypeptide having RNA-guided DNA binding activity, such as a Cas9 nuclease or a Cpf1 nuclease. Class 2 Cas nucleases further include Class 2 Cas endonucleases and Class 2 Cas nickases having RNA-guided DNA cleavage or nickase activity (e.g., H840A, D10A nucleases, etc.). Class 2 Cas nucleases further include Class 2 Cas endonucleases and Class 2 Cas nickases having RNA-guided DNA cleavage or nickase activity (e.g., H840A, D10A or the N863A variant), and a class where the cleavage / nicking activity is inactivated 2 dCas DNA binders are included. Class 2 Cas nucleases include, for example, C as9, Cpf1, C2c1, C2c2, C2c3, HF Cas9 (e.g., N497 A, R661A, Q695A, Q926A variants), HypaCas9 (e.g., N 692A, M694A, Q695A, H698A variants), eSPCas9(1.0 )(e.g., K810A, K1003A, R1060A variants), and eSPCa s9(1.1)(e.g., K848A, K1003A, R1060A variants) proteins, as well as modifications thereof. The Cpf1 protein, Zetsche et al., Cell, 163:1-13(2015) is homologous to Cas9 and contains an RuvC -like nuclease domain. The Cpf1 sequence of Zetsche is incorporated in its entirety by reference. See, for example, Tables S1 and S3 of Zetsche. "Ca s9" includes Spy Cas9, the variants of Cas9 listed herein, and equivalents thereof. See, for example, Makarova et al., Nat Rev M icrobiol, 13(11):722-36(2015); Shmakov et al., Molecular Cell, 60:385-397(2015) for reference. When used herein, if it is shown that by alignment of the first sequence to the second sequence, X% or more of the entire positions of the second sequence are matched by the first sequence, the first sequence is considered to "include a sequence having at least X% identity" with the second sequence. See also.
[0042] As used herein, when it is shown that by alignment of the first sequence to the second sequence, X% or more of the entire positions of the second sequence are matched by the first sequence, the first sequence is considered to "include a sequence having at least X% identity" with the second sequence. See also. . For example, the sequence AAGA includes sequences that have 100% identity with the sequence AAG, because the alignment gives 100% identity in that there is a match at all three positions of the second sequence. The differences between RNA and DNA (generally, exchanging thymidine for uridine, or vice versa), and the presence of nucleoside analogs such as modified uridine, do not contribute to differences in identity or complementarity between polynucleotides as long as the relevant nucleotides (such as thymidine, uridine, or modified uridine) have the same complement (for example, adenosine for all of thymidine, uridine, or modified uridine; another example is cytosine and 5-methylcytosine, both of which have guanosine or modified guanosine as the complement). Thus, for example, the sequence 5'-AXG, where X is any modified uridine, such as pseudouridine, N1-methylpseudouridine, or 5-methoxyuridine, is considered to be 100% identical to AUG in that both are completely complementary to the same sequence (5'-CAU). Exemplary alignment algorithms are the Smith-Waterman and Needleman-Wunsch algorithms, which are well known in the art. One of ordinary skill in the art will understand which choice of algorithm and parameter settings is appropriate for a given pair of sequences to be aligned. Generally, for sequences with lengths and expected identities that are generally similar, for amino acids, sequences greater than 50%, or for nucleotides, sequences greater than 75%, the default settings of the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm interface provided by EBI at the www.ebi.ac.uk web server are used. because there is a match at all three positions of the second sequence, giving 100% identity. The difference between RNA and DNA (generally, exchanging thymidine for uridine, or vice versa), and the presence of nucleoside analogs such as modified uridine, do not contribute to differences in identity or complementarity between polynucleotides as long as the relevant nucleotides (such as thymidine, uridine, or modified uridine) have the same complement (for example, adenosine for all of thymidine, uridine, or modified uridine; another example is cytosine and 5-methylcytosine, both of which have guanosine or modified guanosine as the complement). Thus, for example, the sequence 5'-AXG, where X is any modified uridine, such as pseudouridine, N1-methylpseudouridine, or 5-methoxyuridine, is considered to be 100% identical to AUG in that both are completely complementary to the same sequence (5'-CAU).
