Abstract
The disclosure provides, in various embodiments, fusion proteins comprising a DNA-binding domain, a DNMT3A-binding domain, and a H3K4me0; and polynucleotides and vectors encoding one or more of the fusion proteins. The disclosure also provides, in various embodiments, gene-delivery systems, cells, compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions) and kits comprising one or more of the fusion proteins polynucleotides, or vectors; methods of epigenetically modifying a genomic locus in a cell; and methods of treating a subject (e.g., a human) in need thereof.
