FIELD OF DISCLOSURE This disclosure relates to compositions for the treatment of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD). BACKGROUND Genetic disorders are a major source of disease burden, and many of them have few or no medical or curative treatments. Along with other genetically linked muscle wasting disorders, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a genetic disorder that causes progressively increasing weakness and atrophy of the muscles. FSHD is so named because the muscles in the face, shoulder, and upper arm are the most affected, but it also affects other muscles in the body, including the legs, eyes, heart, hip, or abdominal muscles. FSHD causes progressively worsening symptoms that may result in asymmetric weakness FSHD is a genetic disorder caused by a genetic mutation that leads to inappropriate expression of the DUX4 gene on chromosome 4. DUX4 is the double homeobox protein 4 gene. FSHD can be inherited by just one parent because it is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. FSHD often affects patients before the age of 20 and has an estimated prevalence in the United States of 4 cases per 100,000 individuals. There is currently no medical treatment to arrest or reverse the muscular effects of FSHD. Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 SUMMARY The present disclosure is directed to compositions (e.g., adeno-associated viral (AAV) compositions) and methods of use of such compositions for treating facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Accordingly, aspects of the invention provide a composition comprising an AAV particle comprising (e.g., encapsidating) a recombinant nucleic acid comprising a promoter and an engineered primary microRNA (pri-miRNA), which comprises a microRNA (miRNA) scaffold comprising the miR-138 or miR-139 scaffold and an artificial miRNA that targets a human double homeobox protein 4 (DUX4) transcript. Aspects of the invention provide a composition comprising an adeno-associated virus (AAV) particle comprising an engineered capsid protein comprising the amino acid sequence RGDR. The capsid protein encapsidated a recombinant nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a cargo) comprising a promoter and a primary microRNA (pri-miRNA) scaffold having the scaffold sequence of miR-138 or miR-139 and an artificial miRNA guide sequence within the scaffold that targets a DUX4 transcript. The recombinant nucleic acid may further comprise a dorsal root ganglia (DRG) de-targeting miRNA binding site(s) and / or a heart de-targeting miRNA binding site(s). For example, the guide sequence (e.g. the DUX4 targeting sequence) comprises or consists of a nucleic acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 2399-3159 and 3952-3953. The DRG de-targeting miRNA binding site(s) may comprise or consist of a nucleic acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 3921-3923. The heart de-targeting miRNA binding site may comprise or consist of a nucleic acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NO: 3924 and SEQ ID NO: 3925. The promoter may comprise or consist of a sequence having at least 95% sequence identity with a nucleic acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 3926-3928. For example, the nucleic acid molecule may comprise in order: a first inverted terminal repeat (ITR) region; the promoter; the primary microRNA (pri-miRNA) comprising in order: an upstream scaffold; the guide sequence; a short hairpin loop; a passenger sequence; and a downstream scaffold, Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 a first DRG de-targeting miRNA binding site; a first heart de-targeting miRNA binding site; a second DRG de-targeting miRNA binding site; a second heart de-targeting miRNA binding site; a poly adenylation signal; a second ITR region. The ITR regions may be AAV2 ITR regions derived from an AAV2. For example, the full nucleic acid molecule may comprise a sequence selected from among SEQ ID NOs: 3940-3947. Advantageously, when administered to a subject with a FSHD, that results in toxic DUX4 expression, the composition is effective at restoring a healthy phenotype. The engineered capsid protein may advantageously exhibit decreased liver tropism and / or increased muscle tropism. For example, the capsid protein may comprise an amino acid sequence selected from Table 1a in hypervariable region IV (HVR IV) relative to wild-type AAV9. The capsid protein may comprise substitutions at amino acids 451-455 relative to a wild-type AAV9 vector capsid selected from column 1 of Table 1b and a 7-mer insert selected from column 2 of Table 1b inserted after amino acid 455 relative to a wild-type AAV9 vector. The capsid protein may further comprise a deletion of G267 relative to wild-type AAV9 capsid or equivalent position in another AAV capsid. Accordingly, aspects of the invention further provide methods and uses of the compositions of the invention (for example in the preparation of a medicament) for treating a subject suffering from FSHD.

Aspects of the recombinant nucleic acid molecules (e.g., cargo) and capsid proteins are described in further detail below. For sequences disclosed throughout this application, it is understood that nucleic acid molecules and peptides may comprise one or more substitutions, for example conservative substitutions, that allow sequences to continue to function. Accordingly, sequences may have at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity to the sequence disclosed. A conservative substitution refers to amino acid substitutions that do not significantly affect or alter binding characteristics of a particular protein. Generally, conservative substitutions are ones in which a substituted amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. For example, conservative substitutions may include a substitution found in one of the following groups: Group 1: Alanine (Ala or A), Glycine (Gly or G), Serine (Ser or S), Threonine (Thr or T); Group 2: Aspartic acid (Asp or D), Glutamic acid (Glu or Z); Group 3: Asparagine (Asn or N), Glutamine (Gln or Q); Group 4: Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 Arginine (Arg or R), Lysine (Lys or K), Histidine (His or H); Group 5: Isoleucine (Ile or I), Leucine (Leu or L), Methionine (Met or M), Valine (Val or V); and Group 6: Phenylalanine (Phe or F), Tyrosine (Tyr or Y), Tryptophan (Trp or W). Additionally, or alternatively, amino acids can be grouped into conservative substitution groups by similar function, chemical structure, or composition (e.g., acidic, basic, aliphatic, aromatic, or sulfur-containing). For example, an aliphatic grouping may include, for purposes of substitution, Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, and Ile. Other conservative substitutions groups include sulfur-containing: Met and Cysteine (Cys or C); acidic: Asp, Glu, Asn, and Gln; small aliphatic, nonpolar, or slightly polar residues: Ala, Ser, Thr, Pro, and Gly; polar, negatively charged residues and their amides: Asp, Asn, Glu, and Gln; polar, positively charged residues: His, Arg, and Lys; large aliphatic, nonpolar residues: Met, Leu, Ile, Val, and Cys; and large aromatic residues: Phe, Tyr, and Trp. miR Scaffolds and Guides The present invention provides recombinant nucleic acids comprising a primary microRNA (pri-mRNA) and uses of such recombinant nucleic acids for treating FSHD. The primary microRNAs (pri-mRNAs) for use in compositions and methods described herein comprise a microRNA (miRNA) scaffold (e.g., a scaffold sequence derived from miR-138 or miR-139), a passenger strand, and a guide strand that targets a DUX4 gene transcript that is capable of reducing DUX4 mRNA levels and interfering with translation of the DUX4 gene transcript. By the present invention, it was discovered that miR-138 and miR-139 scaffolds can be highly expressed and efficiently processed from primary miRs (pri-miRNAs) into mature miR transcripts in muscle tissue, for example, skeletal muscle tissue and cardiac tissue. This allows the present invention to provide for the expression of a mature microRNAs (miRs) comprising a nucleic acid guide targeting a DUX4 transcript within skeletal and cardiac muscle, resulting in interference / silencing of DUX4 gene expression. Advantageously, without being bound by a mechanism of action, the miR-138 and miR-139 scaffolds provide a construct that protects the DUX4 guide sequence (for example within the cytoplasm of cells) and allows for efficient processing of the DUX4 guide sequence into a mature miR. It should be understood that a scaffold sequence derived from any endogenous miRNA can be used in a pri-miRNA for use in compositions and methods described herein. Non-limiting examples of endogenous pri-miRNA from which a scaffold sequence can be derived include pri-miR-21, pri-miR-22, pri-miR-26a, pri-miR-30a, pri-miR-33, pri-miR-122, Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 pri-miR-138, pri-miR-139, pri-miR-375, pri-miR-199, pri-miR-99, pri-miR-194, pri-miR- 155, and pri-miR-451. Accordingly, the present invention provides a nucleic acid molecule comprising a pri- miRNA scaffold having the scaffold sequence of miR-138 or miR-139 and an artificial miRNA guide sequence within the scaffold that targets a gene transcript. The pri-miRNA scaffolds described herein together with their guide and passenger sequence may form a hairpin loop structure. The hairpin loop structure may be greater than 250 nucleotides in length (for example between 250-270 nucleotides in length). The pri- miRNA may have the structure, in order, of a first (“upstream”) scaffold sequence, the guide sequence, a hairpin loop, a sequence complimentary or partially complementary to the guide sequence (called a “passenger” sequence), and a second (“downstream”) scaffold sequence. The guide sequence and the passenger sequence form a double stranded RNA (dsRNA), with the first and second scaffold sequence being single stranded RNA (sRNA) on either end of the double stranded molecule (referred to as “arms”). The passenger strand may be fully complementary to the guide sequence or may have one or more mismatched nucleotides (e.g., 1 mismatched nucleotide, 2 mismatched nucleotides, 3 mismatched nucleotides, 4 mismatched nucleotides, 5 or more mismatched nucleotides) to the guide strand. For example, mismatches or additional nucleotides may result in “bulges” in the pri-miRNA or the pre-miRNA, while maintaining overall hybridization between the guide strand and passenger strand. The hairpin loop is found at the opposite end of the dsRNA from the first and second scaffold sequences, connecting the 5′ and 3′ end of the guide and passenger. An example of a pri-miRNA including a scaffold derived from miR-139 and guide and passenger stands is shown below: pri-miRNA #1 GGGGACCAGCTATGGTAAGGGATGAGAGAAGCCAACAGTTGTCCCAAGGGTCCCCCTCAGGGAGTGGAGGTTCCC CTGGGAGGCGCCAGGACAGGCGCAGGTGTATGAAACCAGATCTGAATCCTGGTGTGGCTCGGAGGCCCAGGATTA CGCTCTGGTTTCTAACAACTGAAGCCAGAGTCTTCGAAGGGTGGTGGGCTAAGGGGGAAGAGGGCATGGTGGGCA AAAGAAAGGGGGTGGGGGAGAGAGAAAAGGAGGACAAGGGGG (SEQ ID NO: 3948) pri-miRNA #2 GGGGACCAGCTATGGTAAGGGATGAGAGAAGCCAACAGTTGTCCCAAGGGTCCCCCTCAGGGAGTGGAGGTTCCC CTGGGAGGCGCCAGGACAGGCGCAGGTGTATTTCGATTCTGAAACCAGATCTTGTGGCTCGGAGGCAGATCTGGA GTAAGAATCGAATAACAACTGAAGCCAGAGTCTTCGAAGGGTGGTGGGCTAAGGGGGAAGAGGGCATGGTGGGCA AAAGAAAGGGGGTGGGGGAGAGAGAAAAGGAGGACAAGGGGG (SEQ ID NO: 3949) Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 The hairpin structure may be processed by cleaving near the junction between dsRNA and ssRNA arms. After processing, which may result in substantially cleaving of the ssRNA arms, the pri-miRNAs loop structure is generally 60-100 nucleotides long, and is referred to as a precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA). The pre-miRNA may be exported to the cytoplasm and further processed by an enzyme, for example (Dicer). The enzyme may process the pre-miRNA at the 5' and 3' ends of the hairpin by cutting away the loop joining the 3' and 5' arms, resulting in an miRNA(guide):miRNA (passenger) duplex about 21 nucleotides in length. The duplexed miRNA may then by processed to form a precursor to an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The complex may unwind the duplex and the passenger RNA strand may then be discarded, leaving behind a mature RISC carrying the mature, single stranded guide miRNA. In aspects of the invention, the pri-miR scaffold comprises the scaffold sequence of miR-138. For example, the nucleic acid molecule (e.g. pri-miR) may comprising in order: a first scaffold sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3929; a guide sequence (e.g., any one of SEQ ID NOs: 2399-3159 and 3952-3953); a loop scaffold sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3930; a passenger sequence to the guide sequence (e.g., any one of SEQ ID NOs: 3160-3920); and a second scaffold sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3931. Together, the nucleic acid molecule may comprise a sequence having at least 95% sequence identity with the defined nucleic acids in SEQ ID NO: 3932, where N is any nucleic acid and indicates the position of the guide and the passenger strands within the scaffold. In such instances, the first series of Ns can be a sequence of a guide strand (e.g., a sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 2399-3159 and 3952-3953) and the second series of Ns can be a sequence of a passenger strand (e.g., a sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 3160-3920), or vice versa.

[0002] Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 DRG De-targeting miRNAs The present invention provides recombinant nucleic acids and recombinant expression vectors (e.g., AAV vectors) that encode a transgene (e.g., an engineered pri-miRNA) and the binding site(s) for specific micro RNAs (miRs) that direct the miRs to selectively inhibit expression of the same transgene (e.g., the same engineered pri-miRNA). By the present invention, it was discovered that miR-338-3p, miR-138-5p, and miR-9-5p are highly expressed in dorsal root ganglial (DRG) cells and not expressed, or expressed at substantially low levels, in muscle cells (including skeletal and heart muscle cells). Accordingly, aspects of the invention provide a recombinant nucleic acid and an engineered vector comprising a first nucleic acid sequence encoding a transgene (e.g., an engineered pri-miRNA) and a second nucleic acid sequence encoding for the binding site(s) of one or more miRs selected from among miR-338-3p, miR-138-5p, or miR-9-5p. In such instances, the second nucleic acid sequence can be referred to as DRG de-targeting miRNA binding site. Thus, as used herein, the term “DRG de-targeting binding site” refers to a nucleic acid sequence encoding for a binding site of a miR (e.g., miR-338-3p, miR-138-5p, and miR-9-5p) that is highly expressed in DRG cells but not expressed, or expressed at significantly lower levels, in muscle cells. The nucleic acid sequence encoding a binding site of a miR is sufficiently complementary with the nucleic acid sequence encoding the miR to effect base pairing (binding) between the DRG de-targeting binding site and the miR. Advantageously, the second nucleic acid sequence directs the miR, when present, to repress expression of the transgene (e.g., an engineered pri-miRNA). As a result, the selected miRs (miR-338-3p, miR-138-5p, miR-9-5p) in cells transduced by the vectors of the invention will be directed to inhibit expression of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA). For example, the transgene (e.g., a pri-miRNA) may provide a therapeutic effect when expressed in skeletal and / or heart muscle but provide a toxic effect when expressed in DRG cells. Without being bound to a mechanism of action, transduction of both muscle cells and DRG cells by vectors of the invention results in transcription of both transgene mRNA (e.g., transcription of the pri-miRNA) and the binding site(s) of the select miR. In DRG cells with substantial endogenous expression of miR-338-3p, miR-138-5p, and miR-9-5p, transgene expression (e.g., pri-miRNA expression) will be substantially repressed. In muscle cells with limited to no expression of miR-338-3p, miR-138-5p, miR-9-5p, transgene expression (e.g., pri-miRNA expression) will not be substantially repressed. As a result, the therapeutic effect of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA) will continue in muscle cells and the toxic effect in DRG cells will be abated. Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 In aspects of the invention, the second nucleic acid sequence may be operably linked to the first nucleic acid sequence, for example, the second nucleic acid sequence may be operably linked to the 3′ or 5′ end of the first nucleic acid sequence. Advantageously, this may result in increased transcription of both nucleic acid sequences. The engineered vector may be a viral vector. For example, the vector may be an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector. Further advantageously, the engineered vector may comprise a capsid protein with modified tropism for skeletal and / or heart muscle in comparison with the wild-type AAV vector. For example, transduction and expression of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA) may be increased in muscle tissue while limited expression of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA) in off-target tissue types, for example, DRG may be observed. The first nucleic acid sequence and second nucleic acid sequence may also be operably linked to tissue specific promoters. Advantageously, the first nucleic acid sequence may be operably linked to a muscle specific promoter. In aspects of the invention, the second nucleic acid is 3′ or 5′ of the first nucleic acid. For example, the second nucleic acid may be incorporated into a 3′ or 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of the transgene mRNA (e.g., the pri- miRNA) when transcribed. In muscle tissue, where miR-338-3p, miR-138-5p, miR-9-5p expression is limited, the muscle specific promoter promotes transcription of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA) and the miR binding site has limited to no effect due to the absence of the requisite miR. In cells expressing miR-338-3p, miR-138-5p, miR-9-5p, for example DRG, the muscle specific promoter limits transcription of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA) while the miR binding site is still present in the transcript, and translation of any transgene mRNA transcribed (e.g., any pri-miRNA transcribed) can be inhibited by miR binding to the miR binding site in the transcript. Aspects of the invention may provide any number of miR binding site(s) to further inhibit expression of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA). Aspects of the invention also provide methods and uses of the recombinant nucleic acids and the recombinant expression vectors of the invention, for example, in therapeutic compositions. Accordingly, aspects of the invention provide a method or use of a recombinant nucleic acid or a recombinant expression vector, the method or use comprising providing to a subject a recombinant nucleic acid or a recombinant expression vector (e.g., an engineered vector (e.g., an AAV vector)) comprising a first nucleic acid sequence encoding a transgene and a second nucleic acid sequence expressing the binding site of a miR selected from among miR-338-3p, miR-138-5p, or miR-9-5p. The second nucleic acid sequence Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 thereby directs the miR, when present (for example endogenously), to repress expression of the transgene. The transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA) may be expressed in heart and / or skeletal muscle, thereby providing a therapeutic effect. The second nucleic acid sequence may be expressed in dorsal root ganglia cells and direct endogenous miR-338-3p, miR-138-5p, and / or miR-9-5p to repress expression of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA) in dorsal root ganglia cells. For example, the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA) may provide a therapeutic effect when expressed in skeletal and / or heart muscle but provide a toxic effect when expressed in DRG cells. Accordingly, in aspects of the invention, the DRG de-targeting miRNA may comprise a sequence have at least 90% or at least 95% of the sequence identity of one or more of: CAACAAAATCACTGATGCTGGA (SEQ ID NO: 3921; miR-338-3p); CGGCCTGATTCACAACACCAGCT (SEQ ID NO: 3922; mir-138-5p), or TCATACAGCTAGATAACCAAAGA (SEQ ID NO: 3923; miR-9-5p). Heart De-targeting miRNAs The present invention provides recombinant nucleic acids and recombinant expression vectors (e.g., AAV vectors) that encode a transgene (e.g., an engineered pri-miRNA) and the binding site(s) for specific micro RNAs (miRs) that direct the endogenous miRs to selectively inhibit expression of the same transgene (e.g., the same engineered pri-miRNA). For example, miR-221-3p and miR-499a, may be highly expressed in cardiac / heart cells and expressed at substantially lower levels, in skeletal muscle cells. Accordingly, aspects of the invention provide a recombinant nucleic acid and an engineered vector comprising a first nucleic acid sequence encoding a transgene (e.g., an pri- miRNA) and a second nucleic acid sequence encoding for the binding site(s) of miR-221 or miR-499. In such instances, the second nucleic acid sequence can be referred to as heart de- targeting miRNA binding site. Thus, as used herein, the term “heart de-targeting binding site” refers to a nucleic acid sequence encoding for a binding site of a miR (e.g., miR-221-3p, miR-499a) that is highly expressed in heart cells but not expressed, or expressed at significantly lower levels, in skeletal muscle cells. The nucleic acid sequence encoding a binding site of a miR is sufficiently complementary with the nucleic acid sequence encoding the miR to effect base pairing (binding) between the heart de-targeting binding site and the miR (e.g., miR-221-3p, miR-499a). Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 Advantageously, the second nucleic acid sequence directs the miR, when present, to repress expression of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA). As a result, miR-221 (e.g., miR- 221-3p) or miR-499 (e.g., miR-499a) in cells transduced by the recombinant nucleic acids or vectors of the invention will be directed to inhibit expression of the transgene (e.g., the pri- miRNA). Aspects of the invention may provide any number of miR binding site(s) to further inhibit expression of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA). For example, the (e.g., the pri-miRNA) may provide a therapeutic effect when expressed in skeletal muscle but provide a toxic effect when expressed in heart cells. Without being bound to a mechanism of action, transduction of both skeletal muscle cells and heart cells by recombinant nucleic acids or vectors of the invention results in transcription of both transgene mRNA (e.g., transcription of the pri-miRNA) and the binding site(s) of the select miR. In heart cells with substantial endogenous expression of miR-221-3p and miR-499a, transgene expression (e.g., pri-miRNA expression) will be substantially repressed. In skeletal muscle cells with limited expression of miR-221-3p and miR-499a, transgene expression (e.g., pri-miRNA expression) will not be substantially repressed. As a result, the therapeutic effect of the transgene (e.g., the pri-miRNA) will continue in skeletal muscle cells and the potential toxic effect in heart cells will be abated. In aspects of the invention, the second nucleic acid sequence may be operably linked to the first nucleic acid sequence, for example, the second nucleic acid sequence may be operably linked to the 3′ or 5′ end of the first nucleic acid sequence. Advantageously, this may result in increased transcription of both nucleic acid sequences. Accordingly, in aspects of the invention, the heart de-targeting miRNA may comprise the sequence: GAAACCCAGCAGACAATGTAGCT (SEQ ID NO: 3924; miR-221-3p) or AAACATCACTGCAAGTCTTAA (SEQ ID NO: 3925; miR-499a). Novel Promoters The present invention provides novel promoters, that may be linked to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a pri-miRNA so that the transcription preferably occurs within myocytes. Promoter regions enable the host cells to replicate the AAV delivered nucleic acid only in those cell types and tissues or organs in which the desired pri-miRNA should be produced. Here, the muscle specific promoter is included because it is principally desired that the pri- miRNA only be translated in myocytes. Specificity of the cell type into which the recombinant nucleic acid is delivered and thus the pri-miRNA translated is desired because of the adverse effects that may ensue from delivering the recombinant nucleic acid and having it Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 translated in cells in which that recombinant nucleic acid and thus the pri-miRNA is not needed. Accordingly, aspects of the present invention provide a promoter having a sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 3926-3928.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present disclosure is directed to recombinant nucleic acids, compositions comprising such recombinant nucleic acids (e.g., adeno-associated viral (AAV) compositions), and methods of use thereof for treating facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Some aspects of the invention provide an AAV particle comprising (e.g., encapsidating) a recombinant nucleic acid comprising a promoter and a pri-miRNA, which Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 comprises a primary microRNA (pri-miRNA) scaffold (e.g., a scaffold derived from an endogenous pri-miRNA such as miR-138 or miR-139), a guide strand that targets a double homeobox protein 4 (DUX4) transcript, and a passenger strand that is at least partially complementary to the guide strand. MicroRNA MicroRNA (miRNA) are small, single-stranded, non-coding RNA molecules. miRNAs base-pair to complementary sequences in mRNA molecules, thereby silencing post- transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Typically, miRNA molecules silence mRNA translation by cleavage of mRNA strand into two pieces or destabilization of the mRNA by shortening its poly(A) tail. miRNAs resemble small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), however, miRNAs derive from regions of RNA transcripts that fold back on themselves to form short hairpins. miRNA in its final form is a non-coding RNA molecule ~22 nucleotides in length. However, it is initially transcribed as part of one arm of an RNA stem-loop that in turn forms part of a several hundred nucleotide-long miRNA precursor termed a primary miRNA transcript (pri-miRNA). Pri-miRNAs have hairpin structures that are processed by the Drosha enzyme (as part of the microprocessor complex). The microprocessor complex functions by recognizing and cleaving near the junction between hairpin structure and ssRNA. After Drosha processing, the pri-miRNAs are only 60-100 nucleotides long, and are called precursor miRNAs (pre- miRNAs). At this point, the pre-miRNA is exported to the cytoplasm, where it typically encounters the RNAase enzyme Dicer. Dicer interacts with 5′ and 3′ ends of the hairpin and cuts away the loop joining the 3′ and 5′ arms, resulting in an miRNA:miRNA duplex about 22 nucleotides in length. After processing, the duplexed miRNA strands are loaded onto an Argonaute (AGO) protein to form a precursor to an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The complex causes the duplex to unwind and the passenger RNA strand is discarded, leaving behind a mature RISC carrying the mature, single stranded miRNA. The miRNA remains part of the RISC as it silences the expression of its target genes. Overall hairpin length and loop size influence the efficiency of Dicer processing. Although either strand of the duplex may potentially act as a functional miRNA, only one strand is generally incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) where the miRNA and its mRNA target interact. Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 A variety of other pathways have been discovered, including Drosha-independent pathways (such as the mirtron pathway, snoRNA-derived pathway, and shRNA-derived pathway) and Dicer-independent pathways (such as one that relies on AGO for cleavage, and another which is dependent on tRNaseZ). Advantageously, artificial miRNA molecules may be engineered to comprise the scaffold of endogenous miRNA and a targeting sequence to a gene of interest. Aspects of the invention comprise miRNA molecules that target gene transcripts using the scaffold of miR- 138 or miR-139. miR-138 is a family of microRNA precursors found in animals, including humans. miR-138 is transcribed as a ~70 nucleotide precursor and subsequently processed by the Dicer enzyme to give a ~22 nucleotide product. The excised region or, mature product, of the miR-138 precursor is the microRNA mir-138. Endogenously, although miR-138 precursor is expressed ubiquitously, the mature product is found only in certain cell types. In adult mice, endogenously miR-138 is only expressed in brain tissue. Its expression is not uniform throughout the brain but restricted to distinct neuronal populations. In the zebrafish, miR-138 is expressed in specific domains in the heart and is required to establish appropriate chamber-specific gene expression patterns. miRNA-based therapies, including miRNA inhibition and miRNA replacement, may be used to treat many diseases such as hepatitis C viral infection, muscular dystrophies, neurodegenerative diseases, peripheral neuropathies, chronic heart failure and post- myocardial infarction remodeling, and cancers. In addition, miRNA directed regulation of gene expression may improve traditional gene therapy approaches in which the vector payload is a protein coding gene. microRNA sequences are described in U.S. Patent Publication Nos.2020-0248179, 2019-0300903, 2019-0136235, 2019-0024083, 2017-0029849, and 2014-0322169, the contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein. Myopathies and Muscular Dystrophies A muscle cell, also known as a myocyte, is a mature contractile cell in the muscle of an animal. In humans and other vertebrates there are three types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle cells are large and multinucleated cells containing highly organized contractile proteins that interact with each other to generate force and allow movement of the body. Skeletal muscle contains multiple bundles of muscle fibers, with each muscle fibers Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 composed of myofibrils. The myofibrils are composed of actin and myosin filaments called myofilaments, repeated in units called sarcomeres, which are the basic functional, contractile units of the muscle fiber necessary for muscle contraction. Each muscle cell is innervated from a single synapse of the motor neuron, with the contact point termed the neuromuscular junction, which is the site where muscle contraction is initiated. Cardiac muscle cells form the cardiac muscle in the walls of the heart chambers and have a single central nucleus. Cardiac muscle cells are joined to neighboring cells by intercalated discs, and when joined in a visible unit they are described as a cardiac muscle fiber. Skeletal muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells both contain myofibrils and sarcomeres and form a striated muscle tissue. Neuromuscular junction signals are transduced to the contractile apparatus via a process called excitation contraction coupling (ECC), which is mediated through a specialized structure called the triad. Muscle diseases are collectively referred to as myopathies and / or muscular dystrophies (MD), depending on the underlying genetic cause and the morphological appearance of the abnormal muscle on biopsy. Defects can arise at essentially all points of the contractile process, from the neuromuscular junction, to the triad, to the contractile apparatus itself, and to the specialized matrix-membrane contacts that maintain and preserve membrane integrity. Muscular dystrophies are characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles that control movement or breathing. Some forms of MD develop in infancy or childhood, while others may not appear until middle age or later. The disorders differ in terms of the distribution and extent of muscle weakness (some forms of MD also affect cardiac muscle), the age of onset, the rate of progression, and the pattern of inheritance. Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a complex autosomal dominant disorder characterized by progressive and asymmetric weakness of facial, shoulder and limb muscles. Symptoms typically arise in adulthood with most patients showing clinical features before age thirty. About five percent of patients develop symptoms as infants or juveniles and these are generally more severely affected. Clinical presentation can vary from mild (e.g., some limited muscle weakness) to severe (e.g., wheelchair dependence). Historically, FSHD was classified as the third most common MD, affecting one in 20,000 individuals worldwide. Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 However, recent data indicate FSHD is the most common MD in Europe, suggesting its worldwide incidence could be as high as 1 in 8,333 individuals. There are two main types of FSHD, which are FSHD type 1 (FSHD1) and FSHD type 2 (FSHD2). Typical FSHD1 cases (also known as FSHD1A) are linked to heterozygous chromosomal deletions that decrease the copy number of 3.3 kilobase (kb) D4Z4 repeats on human chromosome 4q35. Simplistically, normal individuals have 11-100 tandemly repeated D4Z4 copies on both 4q35 alleles, while patients with FSHD have one normal and one contracted allele containing 1-10 repeats. In addition, FSHD-associated D4Z4 contractions must occur on specific disease-permissive chromosome 4q35 backgrounds (called 4qA). Importantly, no genes are completely lost or structurally mutated as a result of FSHD- associated deletions. Instead, genetic changes associated with FSHD give rise to expression of the toxic DUX4 gene, which is damaging to muscle. FSHD2 (also known as FSHD1B) is phenotypically identical to FSHD1, is associated with DUX4 expression, and requires the 4qA chromosomal background. FSHD2 is not associated with D4Z4 repeat contraction, but is instead caused by mutation in the SMCHD1 gene, which is a chromatin regulator normally involved in repressing the DUX4 locus at 4qA. Mutated SMCHD1 proteins fail to participate in adding heterochromatin to the 4qA DUX4 allele, thereby allowing DUX4 gene expression. In the leading FSHD pathogenesis model, D4Z4 contractions are proposed to cause epigenetic changes that permit expression of the DUX4 gene. As a result, the aberrant over- expression of otherwise silent or near-silent DUX4 gene, and the genes it regulates, may ultimately cause FSHD. This model is consistent with data showing normal 4q35 D4Z4 repeats have heterochromatin characteristics, while FSHD-linked D4Z4 repeats contain marks more indicative of actively transcribed euchromatin. These transcription-permissive epigenetic changes, coupled with the observation that complete monosomic D4Z4 deletions (i.e., zero repeats) do not cause FSHD, support the hypothesis that D4Z4 repeats harbor potentially myopathic open reading frames (ORFs), which are abnormally expressed in FSHD muscles. This notion was initially considered in 1994, when a D4Z4-localized ORF, called DUX4, was first identified. However, the locus had some characteristics of an unexpressed pseudogene and DUX4 was therefore summarily dismissed as an FSHD candidate. For many years thereafter, the search for FSHD-related genes was mainly focused outside the D4Z4 repeats, and although some intriguing candidates emerged from these studies, no single gene had been conclusively linked to FSHD development. This slow progress led to the re-emergence of DUX4 as an FSHD candidate in 2007. Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 The role of DUX4 in FSHD pathogenesis can be explained as follows. First, D4Z4 repeats contain identical DUX4 coding regions, and D4Z4 repeats also harbor smaller sense and antisense transcripts, including some resembling microRNAs. Over-expressed DUX4 transcripts and an about 50 kDa full-length DUX4 protein are found in biopsies and cell lines from FSHD patients. These data are consistent with a transcriptional de-repression model of FSHD pathogenesis. In addition, unlike pseudogenes, D4Z4 repeats and DUX4 likely have functional importance, since tandemly arrayed D4Z4 repeats are conserved in at least eleven different placental mammalian species (non-placental animals lack D4Z4 repeats), with the greatest sequence conservation occurring within the DUX4 ORF. Second, over-expressed DUX4 is toxic to tissue culture cells and embryonic progenitors of developing lower organisms in vivo. This toxicity occurs at least partly through a pro-apoptotic mechanism, indicated by caspase-3 activation in DUX4 transfected cells, and presence of TUNEL- positive nuclei in developmentally arrested Xenopus embryos injected with DUX4 mRNA at the two-cell stage. These findings are consistent with studies showing some pro-apoptotic proteins, including caspase-3, are present in FSHD patient muscles. In addition to stimulating apoptosis, DUX4 may negatively regulate myogenesis. Human DUX4 inhibits differentiation of mouse C2C12 myoblasts in vitro, potentially by interfering with PAX3 and / or PAX7, and causes developmental arrest and reduced staining of some muscle markers when delivered to progenitor cells of zebrafish or Xenopus embryos. Finally, aberrant DUX4 function is directly associated with potentially important molecular changes seen in FSHD patient muscles. Specifically, full-length human DUX4 encodes an approximately 50 kDa double homeodomain transcription factor, and DUX4 targets can be found at elevated levels in FSHD patient muscles. These data support that DUX4 catalyzes numerous downstream molecular changes that are incompatible with maintaining normal muscle integrity. I.

Non-limiting examples of muscle specific promoters include a CK8 promoter, a desmin promoter, a Mb promoter, a MCK promoter, a MHCK7 promoter, a skeletal muscle alpha actin promoter, or a TTNI2 promoter. In some embodiments, the promoter comprises a promoter sequence described herein. For example, the promoter comprises or consists of a nucleic acid sequence that is at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to the nucleic acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 3926-3928. In another example, the promoter comprises or consists of the nucleic acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 3926-3928. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises or consists of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3926. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises or consists of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3927. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises or consists of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3928. (d) PolyA Signals Recombinant nucleic acids described herein can further comprise a polyadenylation (PolyA) signal sequence or functional fragment thereof, e.g., a fragment capable of measurably increasing expression as compared to expression in its absence. Non-limiting Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 examples of PolyA signal sequences include a bovine growth hormone polyadenylation (bgh- PolyA) signal, a synthetic PolyA signal, and an SV40 PolyA signal. In some embodiments, the PolyA signal comprises or consists of a nucleic acid sequence that is at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3938. In some embodiments, the PolyA signal comprises or consists of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3938. Recombinant nucleic acids described herein can comprise one or more PolyA signal sequences or functional fragments thereof. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid described herein comprises a polyA sequence between the 3′ end of a sequence encoding an engineered pri-miRNA and the 5′ end of the 3′ ITR. (e) ITRs Recombinant nucleic acids described herein can comprise one or more ITRs, e.g., two ITRs, with one upstream and the other downstream of a sequence encoding a pri-miRNA and / or the other elements discussed above (e.g., a promoter, at least one DRG de-targeting miRNA binding site, at least one heart de-targeting miRNA binding site, a PolyA signal). An ITR sequence may be wild type, or it may comprise one or more mutations, e.g., by the insertion, deletion, or substitution of nucleotides, as long as the sequences retain one or more function of a wild type ITR, such as providing for functional rescue, replication and packaging. In some embodiments, a recombinant nucleic acid as described herein can comprise two ITR sequences, each of which is wild type, variant, or modified ITR sequences. In some embodiments, a recombinant nucleic acid as described herein can comprise two ITR sequences, which are different (e.g., one wild type ITR sequence and one variant or modified ITR sequence). For example, the “left” or 5′ ITR is a modified ITR sequence that allows for production of self-complementary genomes, and the “right” or 3′ ITR is a wild type ITR sequence. In some embodiments, the “right” or 3′ ITR is a modified ITR sequence that allows for the production of self-complementary genomes, and the “left” or 5′ ITR is a wild type ITR sequence. In some embodiments, a recombinant nucleic acid can comprise ITR sequences from any AAV serotype suitable for replication and packaging of the virus. Non-limiting examples AAV serotypes include AAV1, AAV2, AAV3, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV6.2, AAV7, AAV8, AAV9, AAV10, AAV11, AAV12, AAV13, AAVrh, AAVrh10, AAVrh74, AAV-DJ, AAV-DJ / 8, Anc80, AAV7m8, or any derivative, hybrid or chimeric serotype thereof. Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises one or more ITRs derived from AAV2. The nucleotides in an ITR sequence may be in a forward or reverse orientation. In some embodiments, the ITR sequences are both wild type, variant, or modified AAV2 ITR sequences. In some embodiments, the ITR sequences are different (e.g., one ITR is a wild type AAV2 sequence and one ITR is variant or modified AAV2 ITR sequence). In some embodiments, the “left” or 5′ ITR is a modified AAV2 ITR sequence that allows for production of self-complementary genomes, and the “right” or 3′ ITR is a wild type AAV2 ITR sequence. In some embodiments, the “right” or 3′ ITR is a modified AAV2 ITR sequence that allows for the production of self-complementary genomes, and the “left” or 5′ ITR is a wild type AAV2 ITR sequence. In some embodiments, the 5′ ITR is an AAV25’ ITR as described in McCarty, D.M., et al., Gene Ther (2001), which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. In some embodiments, the 3′ ITR is an AAV23′ ITR as described in Rolling, F. & Samulski, R.J. Molecular biotechnology (1995), which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. In some embodiments, the 3' ITR may comprise a deletion of the terminal resolution site (dTR), which inhibits Rep protein nicking of the single stranded viral genome. The presence of the dTR in the 3' ITR increases self-complementary binding of the viral genome to itself, which it may do because of its small size that allows for a double- stranded viral genome to be packaged within a viral capsid. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises a 5′ ITR comprising or consisting of a nucleic acid sequence that is at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3937. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises a 5′ ITR comprising or consisting of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3937. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises a 3′ ITR comprising or consisting of a nucleic acid sequence that is at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3939. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acid comprises a 3′ ITR comprising or consisting of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3939.

Recombinant Expression Vectors Any of the recombinant nucleic acids comprising any sequence encoding a pri- miRNA described herein can be delivered to a cell (e.g., a muscle cell), a tissue (e.g., muscle tissue), or subject (e.g., human subject) without or with the use of a delivery system (e.g., recombinant expression vector (e.g., viral vector (e.g., AAV (e.g., rAAV))). (a) Recombinant Expression Vectors Any of the recombinant nucleic acids described herein can be included in a recombinant expression vector (e.g., a viral vector (e.g., an AAV vector (e.g., a rAAV Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 vector))). Recombinant expression vectors can be delivered into a cell, a tissue, or a subject using any method known in the art or described herein. A recombinant expression vector can be an organic or inorganic molecule. A recombinant expression vector can be a small molecule (i.e., <5 kD) or a macromolecule (i.e., >5 kD). The recombinant expression vector can comprise DNA, RNA, or both DNA and RNA. The recombinant expression vector can be a DNA vector, a circular vector, or a plasmid. The recombinant expression vector can be double stranded or single stranded. In some embodiments, a recombinant expression vector (e.g., a viral vector (e.g., an AAV (e.g., a rAAV))) disclosed herein can exhibit higher expression of the recombinant nucleic acid (e.g., expression of pri-miRNA) in a specific tissue type (e.g., muscle) as compared to the expression of the same vector in a different tissue type (e.g., liver). For example, the recombinant expression vector can exhibit higher expression of the engineered pri-miRNA in a skeletal muscle tissue or cell as compared to the expression of the same vector in a non-skeletal muscle tissue (e.g., heart tissue, liver tissue) or cell (e.g., heart cell, liver cell). In some embodiments, the vector exhibits at least about 1.2 fold, at least about 1.5 fold, at least about 1.75 fold, at least about 2 fold, at least about 2.5 fold, at least about 3 fold, at least about 4 fold higher expression of the recombinant nucleic acid (e.g., expression of an engineered pri-miRNA) in a skeletal muscle tissue or cell as compared to the expression of the same vector in a non-skeletal muscle tissue (e.g., heart tissue, liver tissue) or cell (e.g., heart cell, liver cell). In some embodiments, the recombinant expression vector is a viral vector. Non- limiting examples of viral vectors for use in compositions and methods described herein include retroviral vectors, adenoviral vectors, lentiviral vectors, adeno-associated viral (AAVs) vectors, herpes simplex viral (HSV) vectors, alphaviral vectors, pox viral vectors, murine leukemia viral vectors, and hybrid viral vectors. (b) Adeno Associated Virus Vectors AAVs are particularly appropriate viral vectors for delivery of genetic material into mammalian cells. AAVs are not known to cause disease in mammals and cause a very mild immune response. Additionally, AAVs are able to infect cells in multiple stages whether at rest or in a phase of the cell replication cycle. Advantageously, AAV DNA is not regularly inserted into the host’s genome at random sites, reducing the oncogenic properties of this vector. AAVs have been engineered to deliver a variety of treatments, especially for genetic disorders caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms (“SNP”). Genetic diseases that have Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 been studied in conjunction with AAV vectors include Cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, arthritis, macular degeneration, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, congestive heart failure, and Alzheimer’s disease. The AAV can be used as a vector to deliver engineered nucleic acid to a host and utilize the host’s own ribosomes to transcribe that nucleic acid into the desired proteins. See, e.g., West et al., Virology 160:38-47 (1987); U.S. Pat. No.4,797,368; WO 93 / 24641; Kotin, Human Gene Therapy 5:793-801 (1994); and Muzyczka, J. Clin. Invest. 94:1351 (1994). AAVs have some deficiency in their replication and / or pathogenicity and thus can be safer that adenoviral vectors. In some embodiments, the AAV can integrate into a specific site on chromosome 19 of a human cell with no observable side effects. In some embodiments, the capacity of the AAV vector, system thereof, and / or AAV particles can be up to about 4.7 kb. The AAV vector or system thereof can include one or more engineered capsid polynucleotides described herein. AAVs are small, replication-defective, nonenveloped viruses that infect humans and other primate species and have a linear single-stranded DNA genome. Naturally occurring AAV serotypes exhibit liver tropism. As a result, transfection of non-liver tissue with traditional AAV vectors is impeded by the virus’s natural liver tropism. Moreover, because the liver acts to break down substances delivered to a subject, transfection of non-liver tissue with unmodified AAV vectors requires higher dosing to provide sufficient viral load to overcome the liver and reach non-liver tissue. More than 30 naturally occurring serotypes of AAV are available. Many natural variants in the AAV capsid exist. AAV serotypes include, but are not limited to, AAV serotypes AAV1, AAV2, AAV3, AAV3B, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV7, AAV8, AAV9, AAV10, AAV11, AAV 12, AAV13. AAVs may be engineered using conventional molecular biology techniques, making it possible to optimize these particles, for example, for cell specific delivery, for minimizing immunogenicity, for tuning stability and particle lifetime, for efficient degradation, for accurate delivery to the nucleus. AAV vectors can be specifically targeted to one or more types of cells by choosing the appropriate combination of AAV serotype, promoter, and delivery method. Previous approaches to identify AAV sequences correlated with tropism have relied upon the comparison of highly related extant serotypes with distinct characteristics, random domain swaps between unrelated serotypes, or consideration of higher-order structure, to identify motifs that define liver tropism. For example, mapping determinants of AAV tropism have been carried out by comparing highly related serotypes. One such example is the single- amino acid change (E531K) between AAV1 and AAV6 that improves murine liver transduction in AAV1. See, e.g., Wu et al. (2006) J. Virol., 80(22):11393-7, incorporated by Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 reference herein. Another example is a reciprocal domain swap between AAV2 and AAV8 that alters tropism, but fails to define any robust specific tissue-targeting motifs. See, e.g., Raupp et al. (201) J. Virol., 86(l7):9396-408, incorporated by reference herein. Further, global consideration of structure has only highlighted gross differences between better- or worse-liver-transducers that are more observational than useful in practice. Nam et al (2007) J. Virol., 81(22):12260-71. AAVs exhibiting modified tissue tropism that may be used with the present invention are described in U.S. Patent No.9,695,220, U.S. Patent No.9,719,070; U.S. Patent No. 10,119,125; U.S. Patent No.10,526,584; U.S. Patent Application Publication No.2018- 0369414; U.S. Patent Application Publication No.2020-0123504; U.S. Patent Application Publication No.2020-0318082; PCT International Patent Application Publication No. WO 2015 / 054653; PCT International Patent Application Publication No. WO 2016 / 179496; PCT International Patent Application Publication No. WO 2017 / 100791; and PCT International Patent Application Publication No. WO 2019 / 217911, the entirety of the contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein. The AAV vector or system thereof may include one or more regulatory molecules, such as promoters, enhancers, repressors and the like. In some embodiments, the AAV vector or system thereof can include one or more polynucleotides that can encode one or more regulatory proteins. In some embodiments, the one or more regulatory proteins can be selected from Rep78, Rep68, Rep52, Rep40, variants thereof, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the muscle specific promoter can drive expression of an engineered AAV capsid polynucleotide. The AAV vector or system thereof can include one or more polynucleotides that can encode one or more capsid proteins, such as the engineered AAV capsid proteins described elsewhere herein. The engineered capsid proteins can be capable of assembling into a protein shell (an engineered capsid) of the AAV virus particle. The engineered capsid can have a cell-, tissue-, and / or organ-specific tropism. The AAV vector or system thereof can be configured to produce AAV particles having a specific serotype. In some embodiments, the serotype can be AAV1, AAV2, AAV3, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, AAV9 or any combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the AAV can be AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV9 or any combination thereof. One can select the AAV of the AAV with regard to the cells to be targeted, e.g., one can select AAV serotypes 1, 2, 5, 9 or a hybrid capsid AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV9 or any combination thereof for targeting brain and / or neuronal cells; and one can select AAV4 for targeting Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 cardiac tissue; and one can select AAV8 for delivery to the liver. Thus, in some embodiments, an AAV vector or system thereof capable of producing AAV particles capable of targeting the brain and / or neuronal cells can be configured to generate AAV particles having serotypes 1, 2, 5 or a hybrid capsid AAV1, AAV2, AAV5 or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, an AAV vector or system thereof capable of producing AAV particles capable of targeting cardiac tissue can be configured to generate an AAV particle having an AAV4 serotype. In some embodiments, an AAV vector or system thereof capable of producing AAV particles capable of targeting the liver can be configured to generate an AAV having an AAV-8 serotype. See also Srivastava.2017. Curr. Opin. Virol.21:75-80. It will be appreciated that while the different serotypes can provide some level of cell, tissue, and / or organ specificity, each serotype still is multi-tropic and thus can result in tissue- toxicity if using that serotype to target a tissue that the serotype is less efficient in transducing. Thus, in addition to achieving some tissue targeting capacity via selecting an AAV of a particular serotype, it will be appreciated that the tropism of the AAV serotype can be modified by an engineered AAV capsid described herein. As described elsewhere herein, variants of wild-type AAV of any serotype can be generated via a method described herein and determined to have a particular cell-specific tropism, which can be the same or different as that of the reference wild-type AAV serotype. In some embodiments, the cell, tissue, and / or specificity of the wild-type serotype can be enhanced (e.g., made more selective or specific for a particular cell type that the serotype is already biased towards). For example, wild-type AAV-9 is biased towards muscle and brain in humans (see, e.g., Srivastava.2017. Curr. Opin. Virol.21:75-80.) By including an engineered AAV capsid and / or capsid protein variant of wild-type AAV-9 as described herein, the tropism for nervous cells might be reduced or eliminated and / or the muscle specificity increased such that the nervous specificity appears reduced in comparison, thus enhancing the specificity for muscle as compared to the wild-type AAV-9. As previously mentioned, inclusion of an engineered capsid and / or capsid protein variant of a wild-type AAV serotype can have a different tropism than the wild-type reference AAV serotype. For example, an engineered AAV capsid and / or capsid protein variant of AAV-9 can have specificity for a tissue other than muscle or brain in humans. In some embodiments, the AAV vector is a hybrid AAV vector or system thereof. Hybrid AAVs are AAVs that include genomes with elements from one serotype that are packaged into a capsid derived from at least one different serotype. For example, if it is the rAAV2 / 5 that is to be produced, and if the production method is based on the helper-free, Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 transient transfection method discussed above, the 1st plasmid and the 3rd plasmid (the adeno helper plasmid) will be the same as discussed for rAAV2 production. However, the 2nd plasmid, the pRepCap will be different. In this plasmid, called pRep2 / Cap5, the Rep gene is still derived from AAV2, while the Cap gene is derived from AAV5. The production scheme is the same as the above-mentioned approach for AAV2 production. The resulting rAAV is called rAAV2 / 5, in which the genome is based on recombinant AAV2, while the capsid is based on AAV5. It is assumed the cell or tissue-tropism displayed by this AAV2 / 5 hybrid virus should be the same as that of AAV5. It will be appreciated that wild-type hybrid AAV particles suffer the same specificity issues as with the non-hybrid wild-type serotypes previously discussed. Advantages achieved by the wild-type based hybrid AAV systems can be combined with the increased and customizable cell-specificity that can be achieved with the engineered AAV capsids can be combined by generating a hybrid AAV that can include an engineered AAV capsid described elsewhere herein. It will be appreciated that hybrid AAVs can contain an engineered AAV capsid containing a genome with elements from a different serotype than the reference wild-type serotype that the engineered AAV capsid is a variant of. For example, a hybrid AAV can be produced that includes an engineered AAV capsid that is a variant of an AAV9 serotype that is used to package a genome that contains components (e.g., rep elements) from an AAV2 serotype. As with wild-type based hybrid AAVs previously discussed, the tropism of the resulting AAV particle will be that of the engineered AAV capsid. In some embodiments, the AAV vector or system thereof is configured as a “gutless” vector, similar to that described in connection with a retroviral vector. In some embodiments, the “gutless” AAV vector or system thereof can have the cis-acting viral DNA elements involved in genome amplification and packaging in linkage with the heterologous sequences of interest (e.g., the engineered AAV capsid polynucleotide(s)). The vectors described herein can be constructed using any suitable process or technique. In some embodiments, one or more suitable recombination and / or cloning methods or techniques can be used to the vector(s) described herein. Suitable recombination and / or cloning techniques and / or methods can include, but not limited to, those described in U.S. Application publication No. US 2004-0171156 A1. Other suitable methods and techniques are described elsewhere herein. Construction of recombinant AAV vectors is described in a number of publications, including U.S. Pat.

Any of the techniques and / or methods can be used and / or adapted for constructing an AAV or other vector described herein. AAV vectors are discussed elsewhere herein. In some embodiments, the vector can have one or more insertion sites, such as a restriction endonuclease recognition sequence (also referred to as a “cloning site”). In some embodiments, one or more insertion sites (e.g., about or more than about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more insertion sites) are located upstream and / or downstream of one or more sequence elements of one or more vectors.

In some embodiments, the engineered viral capsid protein can have an n-mer amino acid motif, where n can be at least 3 amino acids. In some embodiments, n can be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 amino acids. In some embodiments, an engineered AAV capsid can have a 6-mer or 7-mer amino acid motif.

In some embodiments, the n-mer motif can be inserted between two amino acids in a variable amino acid region in a viral capsid protein. In some embodiments, the n-mer motif can be inserted between two amino acids in a variable amino acid region in an AAV capsid protein. The core of each wild type AAV viral protein contains an eight-stranded beta-barrel motif (betaB to betaI) and an alpha-helix (alphaA) that are conserved in autonomous parvovirus capsids (see, e.g., DiMattia et al.2012. J. Virol.86(12):6947-6958). Structural variable regions (VRs) occur in the surface loops that connect the beta-strands, which cluster to produce local variations in the capsid surface. AAVs have 12 variable regions (also referred to as hypervariable regions) (see, e.g., Weitzman and Linden.2011. “Adeno-Associated Virus Biology.” In Snyder, R.O., Moullier, Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 P. (eds.) Totowa, NJ: Humana Press). In some embodiments, one or more n-mer motifs can be inserted between two amino acids in one or more of the 12 variable regions in the wild- type AVV capsid proteins. In some embodiments, the one or more n-mer motifs can be each be inserted between two amino acids in VR-I, VR-II, VR-III, VR-IV, VR-V, VR-VI, VR-VII, VR-III, VR-IX, VR-X, VR-XI, VR-XII, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the n-mer can be inserted between two amino acids in the VR-III of a capsid protein. In some embodiments, the engineered capsid can have an n-mer inserted between any two contiguous amino acids between amino acids 262 and 269, between any two contiguous amino acids between amino acids 327 and 332, between any two contiguous amino acids between amino acids 382 and 386, between any two contiguous amino acids between amino acids 452 and 460, between any two contiguous amino acids between amino acids 488 and 505, between any two contiguous amino acids between amino acids 545 and 558, between any two contiguous amino acids between amino acids 581 and 593, between any two contiguous amino acids between amino acids 704 and 714 of an AAV9 viral protein. In some embodiments, the engineered capsid can have an n-mer inserted between amino acids 588 and 589 of an AAV9 viral protein. In some embodiments, the engineered capsid can have a 7- mer motif inserted between amino acids 588 and 589 of an AAV9 viral protein. In other embodiments, the motif inserted is a 10-mer motif, with replacement of amino acids 586-88 and an insertion before 589. It will be appreciated that n-mers can be inserted in analogous positions in AAV viral proteins of other serotypes. In some embodiments as previously discussed, the n-mer(s) can be inserted between any two contiguous amino acids within the AAV viral protein and in some embodiments the insertion is made in a variable region. In some embodiments, the first 1, 2, 3, or 4 amino acids of an n-mer motif can replace 1, 2, 3, or 4 amino acids of a polypeptide into which it is inserted and preceding the insertion site. In some embodiments, the amino acids of the n-mer motif that replace 1 or more amino acids of the polypeptide into which the n-mer motif is inserted come before or immediately before an “RGDR” (SEQ ID NO: 3950) in an n-mer motif. The first three amino acids can replace 1-3 amino acids into a polypeptide to which they may be inserted. Using an AAV as another non-limiting example, one or more of the n-mer motifs can be inserted into, e.g., an AAV9 capsid prolylpeptide between amino acids 588 and 589 and the insert can replace amino acids 586, 587, and 588 such that the amino acid immediately preceding the n-mer motif after insertion is residue 585. It will be appreciated that this principle can apply in any other insertion context and is not necessarily limited to insertion between residues 588 and 589 of an AAV9 capsid or equivalent position in another AAV capsid. It will further be Attorney Docket No.: PAT059899-WO-PCT / KATE-036 appreciated that in some embodiments, no amino acids in the polypeptide into which the n- mer motif is inserted are replaced by the n-mer motif.
