ENGINEERED AND CHIMERIC NUCLEASESCROSS-REFERENCE
[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 582,489, filed September 13, 2023, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.BACKGROUND
[0002] Cas enzymes along with their associated Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) guide ribonucleic acids (RNAs) appear to be a pervasive (-45% of bacteria, -84% of archaea) component of prokaryotic immune systems, serving to protect such microorganisms against non-self-nucleic acids, such as infectious viruses and plasmids by CRISPR-RNA guided nucleic acid cleavage. While the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) elements encoding CRISPR RNA elements may be relatively conserved in structure and length, their CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are highly diverse, containing a wide variety of nucleic acid-interacting domains. While CRISPR DNA elements have been observed as early as 1987, the programmable endonuclease cleavage ability of CRISPR / Cas complexes has only been recognized relatively recently, leading to the use of recombinant CRISPR / Cas systems in diverse DNA manipulation and gene editing applications.SUMMARY

Furthermore, to the extent that the terms “including”, “includes”, “having”, “has”, “with”, or variants thereof are used in either the detailed description or the claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising”.
[0105] The term “about” or “approximately” means within an acceptable error range for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the value is measured or determined, e.g., the limitations of the measurement system. For example, “about” can mean within one or more than one standard deviation, per the practice in the art. Alternatively, “about” can mean a range of up to 20%, up to 15%, up to 10%, up to 5%, or up to 1% of a given value.
[0106] The term “nucleotide,” as used herein, refers to a base-sugar-phosphate combination. Contemplated nucleotides include naturally occurring nucleotides and synthetic nucleotides. Nucleotides are monomeric units of a nucleic acid sequence (e.g., deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)). The term nucleotide includes ribonucleoside triphosphates adenosine triphosphate (ATP), uridine triphosphate (UTP), cytosine triphosphate (CTP), guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates such as dATP, dCTP, diTP, dUTP, dGTP, dTTP, or derivatives thereof. Such derivatives include, for example, [aS]dATP, 7-deaza-dGTP and 7-deaza-dATP, and nucleotide derivatives that confer nuclease resistance on the nucleic acid molecule containing them. The term nucleotide as used herein encompasses dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (ddNTPs) and their derivatives. Illustrative examples of ddNTPs include, but are not limited to, ddATP, ddCTP, ddGTP, ddITP, and ddTTP. A nucleotide may be unlabeled or detectably labeled, such as using moieties comprising optically detectable moieties (e.g., fluorophores) or quantum dots. Detectable labels include, for example, radioactive isotopes, fluorescent labels, chemiluminescent labels, bioluminescent labels, and enzyme labels.

The term nucleotide encompasses chemically modified nucleotides. An exemplary chemically- modified nucleotide is biotin-dNTP. Non-limiting examples of biotinylated dNTPs include, biotin-dATP (e.g., bio-N6-ddATP, biotin-14-dATP), biotin-dCTP (e.g., biotin- 11-dCTP, biotin- 14-dCTP), and biotin-dUTP (e.g., biotin- 11-dUTP, biotin- 16-dUTP, biotin-20-dUTP).
[0107] The terms “polynucleotide,” “oligonucleotide,” and “nucleic acid” are used interchangeably to refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, either deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, or analogs thereof, either in single-, double-, or multi-stranded form. Contemplated polynucleotides include a gene or fragment thereof. Exemplary polynucleotides include, but are not limited to, DNA, RNA, coding or non-coding regions of a gene or gene fragment, loci (locus) defined from linkage analysis, exons, introns, messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), short-hairpin RNA (shRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), ribozymes, cDNA, recombinant polynucleotides, branched polynucleotides, plasmids, vectors, cell-free polynucleotides including cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and cell-free RNA (cfRNA), nucleic acid probes, and primers. In a polynucleotide when referring to a T, a T means U (Uracil) in RNA and T (Thymine) in DNA. A polynucleotide can be exogenous or endogenous to a cell and / or exist in a cell-free environment. The term polynucleotide encompasses modified polynucleotides (e.g., altered backbone, sugar, or nucleobase). If present, modifications to the nucleotide structure are imparted before or after assembly of the polymer. Non-limiting examples of modifications include: 5 -bromouracil, peptide nucleic acid, xeno nucleic acid, morpholines, locked nucleic acids, glycol nucleic acids, threose nucleic acids, dideoxynucleotides, cordycepin, 7-deaza-GTP, fluorophores (e.g., rhodamine or fluorescein linked to the sugar), thiol-containing nucleotides, biotin-linked nucleotides, fluorescent base analogs, CpG islands, methyl-7-guanosine, methylated nucleotides, inosine, thiouridine, pseudouridine, dihydrouridine, queuosine, and wyosine. The sequence of nucleotides may be interrupted by non-nucleotide components.
[0108] The terms “peptide,” “polypeptide,” and “protein” are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of at least two amino acid residues joined by peptide bond(s). This term does not connote a specific length of polymer, nor is it intended to imply or distinguish whether the peptide is produced using recombinant techniques, chemical or enzymatic synthesis, or is naturally occurring. The terms apply to naturally occurring amino acidpolymers as well as amino acid polymers comprising at least one modified amino acid. In some cases, the polymer is interrupted by non-amino acids. The terms include amino acid chains of any length, including full length proteins, and proteins with or without secondary or tertiary structure (e.g, domains). The terms also encompass an amino acid polymer that has been modified, for example, by disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, oxidation, and any other manipulation such as conjugation with a labeling component. The terms “amino acid” and “amino acids,” as used herein, refer to natural and non-natural amino acids, including, but not limited to, modified amino acids. Modified amino acids include amino acids that have been chemically modified to include a group or a chemical moiety not naturally present on the amino acid. The term “amino acid” includes both D-amino acids and L-amino acids.
[0109] As used herein, the “non-native” refers to a nucleic acid or polypeptide sequence that is non-naturally occurring. Non-native refers to a non-naturally occurring nucleic acid or polypeptide sequence that comprises modifications such as mutations, insertions, or deletions. The term non-native encompasses fusion nucleic acids or polypeptides that encodes or exhibits an activity (e.g., enzymatic activity, methyltransferase activity, acetyltransferase activity, kinase activity, ubiquitinating activity, etc.) of the nucleic acid or polypeptide sequence to which the non-native sequence is fused. A non-native nucleic acid or polypeptide sequence includes those linked to a naturally-occurring nucleic acid or polypeptide sequence (or a variant thereof) by genetic engineering to generate a chimeric nucleic acid or polypeptide sequence encoding a chimeric nucleic acid or polypeptide.
[0110] As used herein, “operably linked”, “operable linkage”, “operatively linked”, or grammatical equivalents thereof refer to an arrangement of genetic elements, e.g., a promoter, an enhancer, a polyadenylation sequence, etc., wherein an operation (e.g., movement or activation) of a first genetic element has some effect on the second genetic element. The effect on the second genetic element can be, but need not be, of the same type as operation of the first genetic element. For example, two genetic elements are operably linked if movement of the first element causes an activation of the second element. For instance, a regulatory element, which may comprise promoter and / or enhancer sequences, is operatively linked to a coding region if the regulatory element helps initiate transcription of the coding sequence. There may be intervening residues between the regulatory element and coding region so long as this functional relationship is maintained.
[0111] A “vector” as used herein, refers to a macromolecule or association of macromolecules that comprises or associates with a polynucleotide and which may be used to mediate delivery of the polynucleotide to a cell. Examples of vectors include plasmids, viral vectors, liposomes, and other gene delivery vehicles. The vector generally comprises genetic elements, e.g., regulatory elements, operatively linked to a gene to facilitate expression of the gene in a target.
[0112] A “functional fragment” of a DNA or protein sequence refers to a fragment that retains a biological activity (either functional or structural) that is substantially similar to a biological activity of the full-length DNA or protein sequence. A biological activity of a DNA sequence includes its ability to influence expression in a manner attributed to the full- length sequence.
[0113] The terms “engineered,” “synthetic,” and “artificial” are used interchangeably herein to refer to an object that has been modified by human intervention. For example, the terms refer to a polynucleotide or polypeptide that is non-naturally occurring. An engineered peptide has, but does not require, low sequence identity (e.g., less than 50% sequence identity, less than 25% sequence identity, less than 10% sequence identity, less than 5% sequence identity, less than 1% sequence identity) to a naturally occurring human protein. For example, VPR and VP64 domains are synthetic transactivation domains. Non-limiting examples include the following: a nucleic acid modified by changing its sequence to a sequence that does not occur in nature; a nucleic acid modified by ligating it to a nucleic acid that it does not associate with in nature such that the ligated product possesses a function not present in the original nucleic acid; an engineered nucleic acid synthesized in vitro with a sequence that does not exist in nature; a protein modified by changing its amino acid sequence to a sequence that does not exist in nature; an engineered protein acquiring a new function or property. An “engineered” system comprises at least one engineered component.
[0114] The term “tracrRNA” or “tracr sequence” means trans-activating CRISPR RNA. tracrRNA interacts with the CRISPR (cr) RNA to form guide (g) RNA in type II and subtype V-B CRISPR-Cas systems. If the tracrRNA is engineered, it may have about 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 100% sequence identity and / or sequence similarity to a wild type exemplary tracrRNA sequence (e.g., a tracrRNA from S. pyogenes, S. aureus). tracrRNA may refer to a modified form of a tracrRNA that can comprise a nucleotide change such as a deletion, insertion, or substitution, variant, mutation, or chimera. The term tracrRNA encompasses a nucleic acid that can be at least about 60% identical to awild type exemplary tracrRNA (e.g., a tracrRNA from .S'. pyogenes, S. aureus, etc) sequence over a stretch of at least 6 contiguous nucleotides. For example, a tracrRNA sequence has at least about 60% identical, at least about 65% identical, at least about 70% identical, at least about 75% identical, at least about 80% identical, at least about 85% identical, at least about 90% identical, at least about 95% identical, at least about 98% identical, at least about 99% identical, or 100 % identical to a wild type exemplary tracrRNA (e.g., a tracrRNA from .S'. pyogenes, S. aureus, etc) sequence over a stretch of at least 6 contiguous nucleotides. Type II tracrRNA sequences can be predicted on a genome sequence by identifying regions with complementarity to part of the repeat sequence in an adjacent CRISPR array.
[0115] As used herein, a “guide nucleic acid” or “guide polynucleotide” refers to a nucleic acid that may hybridize to a target nucleic acid and thereby directs an associated nuclease to the target nucleic acid. A guide nucleic acid is, but is not limited to, RNA (guide RNA or gRNA), DNA, or a mixture of RNA and DNA. A guide nucleic acid can include a crRNA or a tracrRNA or a combination of both. The term guide nucleic acid encompasses an engineered guide nucleic acid and a programmable guide nucleic acid to specifically bind to the target nucleic acid. A portion of the target nucleic acid may be complementary to a portion of the guide nucleic acid. The strand of a double-stranded target polynucleotide that is complementary to and hybridizes with the guide nucleic acid is the complementary strand. The strand of the double-stranded target polynucleotide that is complementary to the complementary strand, and therefore is not complementary to the guide nucleic acid is called noncomplementary strand. A guide nucleic acid having a polynucleotide chain is a “single guide nucleic acid.” A guide nucleic acid having two polynucleotide chains is a “double guide nucleic acid.” If not otherwise specified, the term “guide nucleic acid” is inclusive, referring to both single guide nucleic acids and double guide nucleic acids. A guide nucleic acid may comprise a segment referred to as a “nucleic acid-targeting segment” or a “nucleic acid-targeting sequence,” or a “spacer.” A nucleic acid-targeting segment can include a subsegment referred to as a “protein binding segment” or “protein binding sequence” or “Cas protein binding segment.”
[0116] The term “sequence identity” or “percent identity” in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences, refers to two (e.g., in a pairwise alignment) or more (e.g., in a multiple sequence alignment) sequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a local or global comparison window, asmeasured using a sequence comparison algorithm. Suitable sequence comparison algorithms for polypeptide sequences include, e.g., BLASTP using parameters of a wordlength (W) of 3, an expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix setting gap costs at existence of 11, extension of 1, and using a conditional compositional score matrix adjustment for polypeptide sequences longer than 30 residues; BLASTP using parameters of a wordlength (W) of 2, an expectation (E) of 1000000, and the PAM30 scoring matrix setting gap costs at 9 to open gaps and 1 to extend gaps for sequences of less than 30 residues (these are the default parameters for BLASTP in the BLAST suite available at https: / / blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov); CLUSTALW with parameters of ; the Smith-Waterman homology search algorithm with parameters of a match of 2, a mismatch of -1, and a gap of -1; MUSCLE with default parameters; MALLT with parameters retree of 2 and maxiterations of 1000; Novafold with default parameters; HMMER hmmalign with default parameters.
[0117] As used herein, the term “RuvC III domain” refers to a third discontinuous segment of a RuvC endonuclease domain (the RuvC nuclease domain being comprised of three discontiguous segments, RuvC I, RuvC II, and RuvC III). A RuvC domain or segments thereof can generally be identified by alignment to documented domain sequences, structural alignment to proteins with annotated domains, or by comparison to Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) built based on documented domain sequences (e.g., Pfam HMM PL18541 for RuvC III).
[0118] As used herein, the term “Wedge” (WED) domain refers to a domain (e.g., present in a Cas protein) interacting primarily with repeat: anti -repeat duplex of the sgRNA and PAM duplex. A WED domain can generally be identified by alignment to documented domain sequences, structural alignment to proteins with annotated domains, or by comparison to Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) built based on documented domain sequences.
[0119] As used herein, the term “PAM interacting domain” or “PI domain” refers to a domain interacting with the protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) external to the seed sequence in a region targeted by a Cas protein. Examples of PAM-interacting domains include, but are not limited to, Topoisomerase-homology (TOPO) domains and C-terminal domains (CTD) present in Cas proteins. A PAM interacting domain or segments thereof can generally be identified by alignment to documented domain sequences, structural alignment to proteins with annotated domains, or by comparison to Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) built based on documented domain sequences.
[0120] As used herein, the term “REC domain” refers to a domain (e.g., present in a Cas protein) comprising at least one of two segments (REC 1 or REC2) that are alpha helical domains thought to contact the guide RNA. A REC domain or segments thereof can generally be identified by alignment to documented domain sequences, structural alignment to proteins with annotated domains, or by comparison to Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) built based on documented domain sequences (e.g., Pfam PF19501 for domain RECI).
[0121] As used herein, the term “BH domain” refers to a domain (e.g., present in a Cas protein) that is a bridge helix between NUC and REC lobes of a Type II Cas enzyme. A BH domain or segments thereof can generally be identified by alignment to documented domain sequences, structural alignment to proteins with annotated domains, or by comparison to Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) built based on documented domain sequences (e.g., Pfam PF 16593 for domain BH).
[0122] As used herein, the term “HNH domain” refers to an endonuclease domain having characteristic histidine and asparagine residues. An HNH domain can generally be identified by alignment to documented domain sequences, structural alignment to proteins with annotated domains, or by comparison to Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) built based on documented domain sequences (e.g., Pfam HMM PF01844 for domain HNH).
[0123] Included in the current disclosure are variants of any of the enzymes described herein with one or more conservative amino acid substitutions. Such conservative substitutions can be made in the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide without disrupting the three- dimensional structure or function of the polypeptide. Conservative substitutions can be accomplished by substituting amino acids with similar hydrophobicity, polarity, and R chain length for one another. Additionally or alternatively, by comparing aligned sequences of homologous proteins from different species, conservative substitutions can be identified by locating amino acid residues that have been mutated between species (e.g., non-conserved residues without altering the basic functions of the encoded proteins. Such conservatively substituted variants may include variants with at least about 20%, at least about 25%, at least about 30%, at least about 35%, at least about 40%, at least about 45%, at least about 50%, at least about 55%, at least about 60%, at least about 65%, at least about 70%, at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 85%, at least about 90%, at least about 91%, at least about 92%, at least about 93%, at least about 94%, at least about 95%, at least about 96%, at least about 97%, at least about 98%, or at least about 99% identity any one of the systems described herein. In some embodiments, such conservatively substituted variants arefunctional variants. Such functional variants can encompass sequences with substitutions such that the activity of critical active site residues of the endonuclease is not disrupted. In some embodiments, a functional variant of any of the systems described herein lack substitution of at least one of the conserved or functional residues described herein. In some embodiments, a functional variant of any of the systems described herein lacks substitution of all of the conserved or functional residues described herein.
[0124] Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are available from a variety of references (see, for example, Creighton, Proteins: Structures and Molecular Properties (W H Freeman & Co.; 2nd Edition (December 1993))). The following eight groups each contain amino acids that are conservative substitutions for one another:1) Alanine (A), Glycine (G);2) Aspartic acid (D), Glutamic acid (E);3) Asparagine (N), Glutamine (Q);4) Arginine (R), Lysine (K);5) Isoleucine (I), Leucine (L), Methionine (M), Valine (V);6) Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y), Tryptophan (W);7) Serine (S), Threonine (T); and8) Cysteine (C), Methionine (M).
[0125] In reference to nucleotide sequences, nucleotide symbols (irrespective of uppercase or lowercase letters) described herein correspond to the following:Overview
[0126] The discovery of new Cas enzymes with unique functionality and structure may offer the potential to further disrupt deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) editing technologies, improving speed, specificity, functionality, and ease of use. Relative to the predicted prevalence of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) systems in microbes and the sheer diversity of microbial species, relatively few functionally characterized CRISPR / Cas enzymes exist in the literature. This is partly because a huge number of microbial species may not be readily cultivated in laboratory conditions. Metagenomic sequencing from natural environmental niches that represent large numbers of microbial species may offer the potential to drastically increase the number of new CRISPR / Cas systems documented and speed the discovery of new oligonucleotide editing functionalities. A recent example of the fruitfulness of such an approach is demonstrated by the 2016 discovery of CasX / CasY CRISPR systems from metagenomic analysis of natural microbial communities.
[0127] CRISPR / Cas systems are RNA-directed nuclease complexes that have been described to function as an adaptive immune system in microbes. In their natural context, CRISPR / Cas systems occur in CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) operons or loci, which generally comprise two parts: (i) an array of short repetitive sequences (30- 40bp) separated by equally short spacer sequences, which encode the RNA-based targeting element; and (ii) ORFs encoding the Cas encoding the nuclease polypeptide directed by the RNA-based targeting element alongside accessory proteins / enzymes. Efficient nuclease targeting of a particular target nucleic acid sequence may involve both (i) complementary hybridization between the first 6-8 nucleic acids of the target (the target seed) and the crRNA guide; and (ii) the presence of a protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) sequence within a defined vicinity of the target seed (the PAM usually being a sequence not commonly represented within the host genome). Depending on the exact function and organization of the system,CRISPR-Cas systems are commonly organized into 2 classes, 5 types and 16 subtypes based on shared functional characteristics and evolutionary similarity.
[0128] Class 1 CRISPR-Cas systems have large, multisubunit effector complexes, and comprise Types I, III, and IV.
[0129] Type I CRISPR-Cas systems are considered of moderate complexity in terms of components. In Type I CRISPR-Cas systems, the array of RNA-targeting elements is transcribed as a long precursor crRNA (pre-crRNA) that is processed at repeat elements to liberate short, mature crRNAs that direct the nuclease complex to nucleic acid targets when they are followed by a suitable short consensus sequence called a protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM). This processing occurs via an endoribonuclease subunit (Cas6) of a large endonuclease complex called Cascade, which also comprises a nuclease (Cas3) protein component of the crRNA-directed nuclease complex. Cas I nucleases function primarily as DNA nucleases.
[0130] Type III CRISPR systems may be characterized by the presence of a central nuclease, known as Cas 10, alongside a repeat-associated mysterious protein (RAMP) that comprises Csm or Cmr protein subunits. Like in Type I systems, the mature crRNA is processed from a pre-crRNA using a Cas6-like enzyme. Unlike type I and II systems, type III systems appear to target and cleave DNA-RNA duplexes (such as DNA strands being used as templates for an RNA polymerase).
[0131] Type IV CRISPR-Cas systems possess an effector complex that comprises a highly reduced large subunit nuclease (csfl), two genes for RAMP proteins of the Cas5 (csf3) and Cas7 (csf2) groups, and, in some cases, a gene for a predicted small subunit; such systems are commonly found on endogenous plasmids.
[0132] Class 2 CRISPR-Cas systems generally have single -polypeptide multidomain nuclease effectors, and comprise Types II, V and VI.
[0133] Type II CRISPR-Cas systems are considered the simplest in terms of components. In Type II CRISPR-Cas systems, the processing of the CRISPR array into mature crRNAs does not require the presence of a special endonuclease subunit, but rather a small trans-encoded crRNA (tracrRNA) with a region complementary to the array repeat sequence; the tracrRNA interacts with both its corresponding effector nuclease (e.g., Cas9) and the repeat sequence to form a precursor dsRNA structure, which is cleaved by endogenous RNAse III to generate a mature effector enzyme loaded with both tracrRNA and crRNA. Cas II nucleases are documented as DNA nucleases. Type 2 effectors generally exhibit a structure comprising aRuvC-like endonuclease domain that adopts the RNase H fold with an unrelated HNH nuclease domain inserted within the folds of the RuvC-like nuclease domain. The RuvC-like domain is responsible for the cleavage of the target (e.g., crRNA complementary) DNA strand, while the HNH domain is responsible for cleavage of the displaced DNA strand.
[0134] Type V CRISPR-Cas systems are characterized by a nuclease effector (e.g., Casl2) structure similar to that of Type II effectors, comprising a RuvC-like domain. Similar to Type II, most (but not all) Type V CRISPR systems use a tracrRNA to process pre-crRNAs into mature crRNAs; however, unlike Type II systems which requires RNAse III to cleave the pre-crRNA into multiple crRNAs, type V systems are capable of using the effector nuclease itself to cleave pre-crRNAs. Like Type-II CRISPR-Cas systems, Type V CRISPR-Cas systems are again documented as DNA nucleases. Unlike Type II CRISPR-Cas systems, some Type V enzymes (e.g., Casl2a) appear to have a robust single-stranded nonspecific deoxyribonuclease activity that is activated by the first crRNA directed cleavage of a doublestranded target sequence.
[0135] Type VI CRISPR-Cas systems have RNA-guided RNA endonucleases. Instead of RuvC-like domains, the single polypeptide effector of Type VI systems (e.g., Casl3) comprises two HEPN ribonuclease domains. Differing from both Type II and V systems, Type VI systems also appear to, in some embodiments, not require a tracrRNA for processing of pre-crRNA into crRNA. Similar to type V systems, however, some Type VI systems (e.g., C2C2) appear to possess robust single -stranded nonspecific nuclease (ribonuclease) activity activated by the first crRNA directed cleavage of a target RNA.
[0136] Because of their simpler architecture, Class 2 CRISPR-Cas have been most widely adopted for engineering and development as designer nuclease / genome editing applications.
[0137] One of the early adaptations of such a system for in vitro use involved (i) recombinantly-expressed, purified full-length Cas9 (e.g., a Class 2, Type II Cas enzyme) isolated from .S', pyogenes SF370, (ii) purified mature ~42 nt crRNA bearing a ~20 nt 5’ sequence complementary to the target DNA sequence desired to be cleaved followed by a 3’ tracr-binding sequence (the whole crRNA being in vitro transcribed from a synthetic DNA template carrying a T7 promoter sequence); (iii) purified tracrRNA in vitro transcribed from a synthetic DNA template carrying a T7 promoter sequence, and (iv) Mg2+. A later improved, engineered system involved the crRNA of (ii) joined to the 5’ end of (iii) by a linker (e.g., GAAA) to form a single fused synthetic guide RNA (sgRNA) capable of directing Cas9 to a target by itself.
[0138] Such engineered systems can be adapted for use in mammalian cells by providing DNA vectors encoding (i) an ORF encoding codon-optimized Cas9 (e.g., a Class 2, Type II Cas enzyme) under a suitable mammalian promoter with a C-terminal nuclear localization sequence (e.g., SV40 NLS) and a suitable polyadenylation signal (e.g., TK pA signal); and (ii) an ORF encoding an sgRNA (having a 5 ’ sequence beginning with G followed by 20 nt of a complementary targeting nucleic acid sequence joined to a 3’ tracr-binding sequence, a linker, and the tracrRNA sequence) under a suitable Polymerase III promoter (e.g., the U6 promoter).Engineered Endonucleases
