Abstract
A system for editing of a target sequence at a locus of a host cell is disclosed. The system has a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid segment comprising a targeting RNA sequence and an RNA segment that binds a protein. The system also has a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid segment encoding a polypeptide with endonuclease activity fused to a protein that binds the RNA segment. The system also comprises a double stranded DNA molecule comprising DNA comprising at least one nucleotide sequence that is capable of binding to the target sequence at the locus.
Claims27
A system for editing of a target sequence at a locus of a host cell, comprising:
- i) a first isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid segment comprising or encoding a targeting RNA sequence;
- ii) a second isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid segment comprising or encoding a RNA segment that binds a protein having at least 80% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:5;
- iii) a third isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid segment encoding an endonuclease or a portion thereof with nuclease activity, or an isolated polypeptide comprising the endonuclease or the portion thereof;
- iv) a fourth isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid segment encoding the protein having at least 80% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:5 or a portion thereof that binds the RNA segment, or an isolated polypeptide comprising the protein having at least 80% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:5 or the portion thereof that binds the RNA segment;
- and
- v) an isolated double stranded DNA molecule comprising DNA comprising at least one nucleotide sequence that is capable of binding to the target sequence at the locus.
