Numerous variations, changes, and substitutions may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the disclosure. It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of the disclosure described herein may be employed.
[0108] Whenever the term “no more than,” “less than,” or “less than or equal to” precedes the first numerical value in a series of two or more numerical values, the term “no more than,” “less than,” or “less than or equal to” applies to each of the numerical values in that series of numerical - 12 - #592931Attorney Docket No : 00010.036.1801values. For example, less than or equal to 3, 2, or 1 is equivalent to less than or equal to 3, less than or equal to 2, or less than or equal to 1.
[0109] The practice of some methods disclosed herein employ, unless otherwise indicated, techniques of immunology, biochemistry, chemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, cell biology, genomics, and recombinant DNA.
[0110] As used herein, the singular forms '‘a”, “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms “including”, “includes”, “having”, “has”, “with”, or variants thereof are used in either the detailed description and / or the claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising.”
[0111] 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, w hich will depend in part on how the value is measured or determined, i.e., 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.
[0112] 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.

[0113] 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 multistranded 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), shorthairpin 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 - 14 - #592931Attorney Docket No : 00010.036.1801acid, morpholinos, 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 nonnucleotide components.
[0114] 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 acid polymers 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.
[0115] 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.
[0116] The terms '‘transfection” or '‘transfected” refer to introduction of a nucleic acid into a cell by non-viral or viral-based methods. The nucleic acid molecules may be gene sequences encoding complete proteins or functional portions thereof.- 15 - #592931Attorney Docket No : 00010.036.1801
[0117] 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.
[0118] The term “promoter”, as used herein, refers to the regulatory DNA region which controls transcription or expression of a polynucleotide (e.g., a gene) and which may be located adjacent to or overlapping a nucleotide or region of nucleotides at which RNA transcription is initiated. A promoter may contain specific DNA sequences which bind protein factors, often referred to as transcription factors, which facilitate binding of RNA polymerase to the DNA leading to gene transcription. Eukary otic basal promoters ty pically, though not necessarily, contain a TATA-box and / or a CAAT box.
[0119] The term “expression”, as used herein, refers to the process by which a nucleic acid sequence or a polynucleotide is transcribed from a DNA template (such as into mRNA or other RNA transcript) and / or the process by which a transcribed mRNA is subsequently translated into peptides, polypeptides, or proteins. Transcripts and encoded polypeptides may be collectively referred to as “gene product.” If the polynucleotide is derived from genomic DNA, the term expression includes splicing of the mRNA in a eukaryotic cell.
[0120] A “vector” as used herein, refers to a macromolecule or association of macromolecules that comprises or associates with a polynucleotide and which mediates delivery7of the polynucleotide to a cell. Examples of vectors include nucleic-based vectors (e.g., plasmids and viral vectors) and liposomes. An exemplary nucleic-acid based vector comprises genetic elements, e.g.. regulatory elements, operatively linked to a gene to facilitate expression of the gene in a target.
[0121] As used herein, “expression cassette” and “nucleic acid cassette” are used interchangeably to refer to a component of a vector comprising a combination of nucleic acid sequences or elements (e.g., therapeutic gene, promoter, and a terminator) that are expressed together or are operably linked for expression. The terms encompass an expression cassette including a combination of regulatory elements and a gene or genes to which they are operably7linked for expression.- 16 - #592931Attorney Docket No : 00010.036.1801
[0122] 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 activity7of a DNA sequence includes its ability to influence expression in a manner attributed to the full-length sequence.
[0123] 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 identity7, 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 anew function or property. An “engineered” system comprises at least one engineered component.
[0124] 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 complementary7to 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- 17 - #592931Attorney Docket No : 00010.036.1801can include a sub-segment referred to as a "protein binding segment’’ or ‘'protein binding sequence” or "Cas protein binding segment.”
[0125] As used herein, the term “Casl2a” refers to a family of Cas endonucleases that are class 2, Type V-A Cas endonucleases and that (a) use a relatively small guide RNA (about 42-44 nucleotides) that is processed by the nuclease itself following transcription from the CRISPR array, and (b) cleave DNA to leave staggered cut sites. Further features of this family of enzymes can be found, e.g. in Zetsche B, Heidenreich M, Mohanraju P, et al. Nat Biotechnol 2017;35:31-34, and Zetsche B, Gootenberg JS, Abudayyeh 00, et al. Cell 2015;163:759-771.
[0126] The term “tracrRNA” or “tracr sequence” means trans-activating CRISPR RNA. tracrRNA interacts with the CRISPR (cr) RNA to form a guide nucleic acid (e.g., guide RNA or gRNA) that may hybridize to a target nucleic acid and thereby directs an associated nuclease to the target nucleic acid.
[0127] As used herein, the term “complex” refers to a joining of at least two components. The two components may each retain the properties / activities they had prior to forming the complex or gain properties as a result of forming the complex. The joining includes, but is not limited to, covalent bonding, non-covalent bonding (i.e., hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, Van der Waals interactions, and hydrophobic bond), use of a linker, fusion, or any other suitable method. Contemplated components of the complex include polynucleotides, polypeptides, or combinations thereof. For example, a complex comprises an endonuclease and a guide polynucleotide.
[0128] 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, as measured 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 the Smith-Waterman homology search algorithm parameters with a match of 2, a mismatch of -1, and a gap of -1; MUSCLE with default- 18 - #592931Attorney Docket No : 00010.036.1801parameters; MAFFT with parameters of a retree of 2 and max iterations of 1000; Novafold with default parameters; HMMER hmmalign with default parameters.
[0129] The term “optimally aligned’' 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 have been aligned to maximal correspondence of amino acids residues or nucleotides, for example, as determined by the alignment producing a highest or “optimized” percent identity score.
[0130] Included in the current disclosure are variants of any of the enzy mes 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%, at least about 99% identity to any one of the endonuclease protein sequences described herein (e.g. MG90, MG91A, MG91B. MG91C. MG118, MG119, MG120, MG122, MG126, or MG191 family endonucleases described herein, or any other family nuclease described herein). In some embodiments, such conservatively substituted variants are functional variants. Such functional variants can encompass sequences with substitutions such that the activity of one or more critical active site residues or guide RNA binding residues of the endonuclease are not disrupted. In some embodiments, a functional variant of any of the proteins described herein lacks substitution of at least one of the conserved or functional residues. In some embodiments, a functional variant of any of the proteins described herein lacks substitution of all of the conserved or functional residues.
[0131] Also included in the current disclosure are variants of any of the enzymes described herein with substitution of one or more catalytic residues to decrease or eliminate activity of the enzyme (e.g. decreased-activity variants). In some embodiments, a decreased activity variant as a protein- 19 - #592931Attorney Docket No : 00010.036.1801described herein comprises a disrupting substitution of at least one, at least two, or all three catalytic residues.
[0132] Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are available from a variety of references (see. for e.g., 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)Overview
[0133] The discovery of new Cas enzymes with unique functionality and structure offers the potential to further gene 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 containing large numbers of microbial species may offer the potential to drastically increase the number of new CRISPR / Cas systems characterized and speed the discovery of new7oligonucleotide 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.
[0134] CRISPR / Cas systems are RNA-directed nuclease complexes that 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 are made up of two parts: (i) an array of short repetitive sequences (30-40 bp) separated by short spacer sequences, which encode the RNA-based targeting element; and (ii) ORFs encoding the Cas nuclease. Efficient nuclease targeting of a particular target nucleic acid sequence generally requires both (i) complementary7hybridization betw een the first 6-8 nucleic acids of the target nucleic acid - 20 - #592931Attorney Docket No : 00010.036.1801and a crRNA guide; and (ii) presence of a protospacer- adjacent motif (PAM) sequence within a certain vicinity of the target nucleic acid sequence depending on the specific Cas nuclease (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 subtvpes based on shared functional characteristics and evolutionary similarity.
[0135] Class 1 CRISPR-Cas systems have large, multi-subunit effector complexes, and include Types I, III, and IV Cas nucleases. Class 2 CRISPR-Cas systems generally have single-polypeptide multidomain nuclease effectors, and include Types II. V and VI Cas nucleases.
[0136] 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 identified as DNA nucleases. Type 2 effectors generally exhibit a structure comprising a RuvC-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.
[0137] Type V CRISPR-Cas systems are characterized by a nuclease effector (e.g. Cas 12) 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 identified as DNA nucleases. Unlike Type II CRISPR-Cas systems, some Type V enzymes (e g., Cas 12a) appear to have a robust single-stranded nonspecific deoxyribonuclease activity that is activated by the first crRNA directed cleavage of a double-stranded target sequence.
[0138] CRISPR-Cas systems have emerged in recent years as the gene editing technology of choice due to their targetability and ease of use. The most commonly used systems are the Class 2 Type II SpCas9 and the Class 2 Type V-A Casl2a (previously Cpfl). The Type V-A systems in particular are becoming more widely used since their reported specificity in cells is higher than - 21 - #592931Attorney Docket No : 00010.036.1801other nucleases, with fewer or no off-target effects. The V -A systems are also advantageous in that the guide RNA is small (42-44 nucleotides compared with approximately 100 nt for SpCas9) and is processed by the nuclease itself following transcription from the CRISPR array, simplifying multiplexed applications with multiple gene edits. Furthermore, the V-A systems have staggered cut sites, which may facilitate directed repair pathways, such as microhomology-dependent targeted integration (MITI).
[0139] The most commonly used Type V-A enzymes require a 5‘ protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) next to the chosen target site: 5’-TTTV-3' for Lachnospiraceae bacterium ND2006 LbCasl2a and Acidammococcus sp. AsCasl2a; and 5’-TTV-3' for Francisella novicidaFnCasl2a. Recent exploration of orthologs has revealed proteins with less restrictive PAM sequences that are also active in mammalian cell culture, for example YTV, YYN or TTN. However, these enzymes do not fully encompass Type V biodiversify and targetabilify, and may not represent all possible activities and PAM sequence requirements. Described herein, in certain embodiments, are improved Type V nucleases that are highly targetable, compact, and precise for use in systems and methods for gene editing.MG Enzymes
