FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention generally relates to genetically modified animals or cells comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein. In particular, the invention relates to the use of a zinc finger nuclease-mediated process to edit chromosomal sequences encoding immunodeficiency proteins in animals or cells.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The causes of diseases and disorders of the immune system are varied, but genetic variation in certain proteins is the primary cause or contributor to several human immunodeficiency diseases. Mutations in the human RAG 1 or RAG 2 genes cause certain types of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disorder (SCID). Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) (also known as Boder-Sedgwick syndrome or Louis-Bar syndrome) is a rare, neurodegenerative, inherited disease that causes immunodeficiency in 70% of cases and is caused by a defect in the ATM gene. CD45 deficiency is characterized by a markedly decreased level of circulating T-cells and is caused by mutations in the CD45 gene. Specific genetic defects or chromosomal abnormalities have been linked to, or are suspected in many other human immunodeficiencies.
However, the progress of ongoing research into the causes, specific effects and treatments of these immune system disorders is hampered by the onerous task of developing animal models that incorporate the specific genes suspected of involvement in a given disorder. Conventional methods such as gene knockout technology may be used to edit a particular gene in a potential model organism in order to develop an animal model of particular immunodeficiency. However, gene knockout technology may require months or years to construct and validate the proper knockout models. In addition, genetic editing via gene knockout technology has been reliably developed in only a limited number of organisms such as mice.
Other animals may be better candidates as model organisms for the study of a given immune system disorder, particularly those that are not well-modeled in mice, or those for which an animal of larger physical size, such as a rat may facilitate experimentation that may requires dissection, in vivo imaging, or isolation of specific cells or organ structures for cellular or molecular studies of these disease or condition.
A need exists for animals with modification of one or more genes to be used as model organisms in which to study genetic factors in diseases of immunodeficiency. The genetic modifications may include gene knockouts, expression, modified expression, or over-expression of alleles that either cause or contribute to immunodeficiency in humans. Further, a need exists for modification of one or more genes associated with immunodeficiency in a variety of organisms in order to develop appropriate animal models of immune system disorders.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One aspect of the present disclosure encompasses a genetically modified animal comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein.
A further aspect provides a non-human embryo comprising at least one RNA molecule encoding a zinc finger nuclease that recognizes a chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein, and, optionally, at least one donor polynucleotide comprising a sequence encoding an ortholog of the immunodeficiency protein.
Another aspect provides an isolated cell comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein.
Yet another aspect encompasses a method for assessing the effect of an agent in an animal. The method comprises contacting a genetically modified animal comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein with the agent, and comparing results of a selected parameter to results obtained from contacting a wild-type animal with the same agent. The selected parameter is chosen from (a) rate of elimination of the agent or its metabolite(s); (b) circulatory levels of the agent or its metabolite(s); (c) bioavailability of the agent or its metabolite(s); (d) rate of metabolism of the agent or its metabolite(s); (e) rate of clearance of the agent or its metabolite(s); (f) toxicity of the agent or its metabolite(s); and (g) efficacy of the agent or its metabolite(s).
Still yet another aspect encompasses a method for assessing the therapeutic potential of an agent in an animal. The method includes contacting a genetically modified animal comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein, with the agent and comparing the results of a selected parameter to results obtained from a wild-type animal with no contact with the same agent. The selected parameter may be chosen from a) spontaneous behaviors; b) performance during behavioral testing; c) physiological anomalies; d) abnormalities in tissues or cells; e) biochemical function; and f) molecular structures.
Other aspects and features of the disclosure are described more thoroughly below.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure provides a genetically modified animal or animal cell comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding a protein associated with immunodeficiency. The edited chromosomal sequence may be (1) inactivated, (2) modified, or (3) comprise an integrated sequence. An inactivated chromosomal sequence is altered such that a functional protein is not made. Thus, a genetically modified animal comprising an inactivated chromosomal sequence may be termed a “knock out” or a “conditional knock out.” Similarly, a genetically modified animal comprising an integrated sequence may be termed a “knock in” or a “conditional knock in.” As detailed below, a knock in animal may be a humanized animal. Furthermore, a genetically modified animal comprising a modified chromosomal sequence may comprise a targeted point mutation(s) or other modification such that an altered protein product is produced. The chromosomal sequence encoding the protein associated with immunodeficiency generally is edited using a zinc finger nuclease-mediated process. Briefly, the process comprises introducing into an embryo or cell at least one RNA molecule encoding a targeted zinc finger nuclease and, optionally, at least one accessory polynucleotide. The method further comprises incubating the embryo or cell to allow expression of the zinc finger nuclease, wherein a double-stranded break introduced into the targeted chromosomal sequence by the zinc finger nuclease is repaired by an error-prone non-homologous end-joining DNA repair process or a homology-directed DNA repair process. The method of editing chromosomal sequences encoding a protein associated with immunodeficiency using targeted zinc finger nuclease technology is rapid, precise, and highly efficient.
(I) Genetically Modified Animals
One aspect of the present disclosure provides a genetically modified animal in which at least one chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein has been edited. For example, the edited chromosomal sequence may be inactivated such that the sequence is not transcribed and/or a functional immunodeficiency protein is not produced. Alternatively, the edited chromosomal sequence may be modified such that it codes for an altered immunodeficiency protein. For example, the chromosomal sequence may be modified such that at least one nucleotide is changed and the expressed immunodeficiency protein comprises at least one changed amino acid residue (missense mutation). The chromosomal sequence may be modified to comprise more than one missense mutation such that more than one amino acid is changed. Additionally, the chromosomal sequence may be modified to have a three nucleotide deletion or insertion such that the expressed immunodeficiency protein comprises a single amino acid deletion or insertion, provided such a protein is functional. The modified protein may have altered substrate specificity, altered enzyme activity, altered kinetic rates, and so forth. Furthermore, the edited chromosomal sequence may comprise an integrated sequence and/or a sequence encoding an orthologous protein associated with an immune system disorder. The genetically modified animal disclosed herein may be heterozygous for the edited chromosomal sequence encoding a protein associated with an immune system disorder. Alternatively, the genetically modified animal may be homozygous for the edited chromosomal sequence encoding a protein associated with an immune system disorder.
In one embodiment, the genetically modified animal may comprise at least one inactivated chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein. The inactivated chromosomal sequence may include a deletion mutation (i.e., deletion of one or more nucleotides), an insertion mutation (i.e., insertion of one or more nucleotides), or a nonsense mutation (i.e., substitution of a single nucleotide for another nucleotide such that a stop codon is introduced). As a consequence of the mutation, the targeted chromosomal sequence is inactivated and a functional immunodeficiency protein is not produced. The inactivated chromosomal sequence comprises no exogenously introduced sequence. Such an animal may be termed a “knockout.” Also included herein are genetically modified animals in which two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten or more chromosomal sequences encoding proteins associated with immune system disorders are inactivated.
In another embodiment, the genetically modified animal may comprise at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an orthologous protein associated with an immune system disorder. The edited chromosomal sequence encoding an orthologous immunodeficiency protein may be modified such that it codes for an altered protein. For example, the edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein may comprise at least one modification such that an altered version of the protein is produced. In some embodiments, the edited chromosomal sequence comprises at least one modification such that the altered version of the immunodeficiency protein results in an immune system disorder in the animal. In other embodiments, the edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein comprises at least one modification such that the altered version of the protein protects against an immune system disorder in the animal. The modification may be a missense mutation in which substitution of one nucleotide for another nucleotide changes the identity of the coded amino acid.
In yet another embodiment, the genetically modified animal may comprise at least one chromosomally integrated sequence. The chromosomally integrated sequence may encode an orthologous immunodeficiency protein, an endogenous immunodeficiency protein, or combinations of both. For example, a sequence encoding an orthologous protein or an endogenous protein may be integrated into a chromosomal sequence encoding a protein such that the chromosomal sequence is inactivated, but wherein the exogenous sequence may be expressed. In such a case, the sequence encoding the orthologous protein or endogenous protein may be operably linked to a promoter control sequence. Alternatively, a sequence encoding an orthologous protein or an endogenous protein may be integrated into a chromosomal sequence without affecting expression of a chromosomal sequence. For example, a sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein may be integrated into a “safe harbor” locus, such as the Rosa26 locus, HPRT locus, or AAV locus. An animal comprising a chromosomally integrated sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein may be called a “knock-in,” and it should be understood that in certain iterations of the disclosure such an animal may have no selectable marker. The present disclosure also encompasses genetically modified animals in which two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten or more sequences encoding protein(s) associated with immune system disorders are integrated into the genome.
The chromosomally integrated sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein may encode the wild type form of the protein. Alternatively, the chromosomally integrated sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein may comprise at least one modification such that an altered version of the protein is produced. In some embodiments, the chromosomally integrated sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein comprises at least one modification such that the altered version of the protein produced causes an immune system disorder. In other embodiments, the chromosomally integrated sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein comprises at least one modification such that the altered version of the protein protects against the development of an immune system disorder.
In an additional embodiment, the genetically modified animal may be a “humanized” animal comprising at least one chromosomally integrated sequence encoding a functional human immunodeficiency-related protein. The functional human immunodeficiency-related protein may have no corresponding ortholog in the genetically modified animal. Alternatively, the wild-type animal from which the genetically modified animal is derived may comprise an ortholog corresponding to the functional human immunodeficiency-related protein. In this case, the orthologous sequence in the “humanized” animal is inactivated such that no functional protein is made and the “humanized” animal comprises at least one chromosomally integrated sequence encoding the human immunodeficiency-related protein. Those of skill in the art appreciate that “humanized” animals may be generated by crossing a knock out animal with a knock in animal comprising the chromosomally integrated sequence.
In yet another embodiment, the genetically modified animal may comprise at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency-related protein such that the expression pattern of the protein is altered. For example, regulatory regions controlling the expression of the protein, such as a promoter or transcription binding site, may be altered such that the immunodeficiency-related protein is over-produced, or the tissue-specific or temporal expression of the protein is altered, or a combination thereof. Alternatively, the expression pattern of the immunodeficiency-related protein may be altered using a conditional knockout system. A non-limiting example of a conditional knockout system includes a Cre-lox recombination system. A Cre-lox recombination system comprises a Cre recombinase enzyme, a site-specific DNA recombinase that can catalyse the recombination of a nucleic acid sequence between specific sites (lox sites) in a nucleic acid molecule. Methods of using this system to produce temporal and tissue specific expression are known in the art. In general, a genetically modified animal is generated with lox sites flanking a chromosomal sequence, such as a chromosomal sequence encoding a immunodeficiency-related protein. The genetically modified animal comprising the lox-flanked chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency-related protein may then be crossed with another genetically modified animal expressing Cre recombinase. Progeny animals comprising the lox-flanked chromosomal sequence and the Cre recombinase are then produced, and the lox-flanked chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency-related protein is recombined, leading to deletion or inversion of the chromosomal sequence encoding the protein. Expression of Cre recombinase may be temporally and conditionally regulated to effect temporally and conditionally regulated recombination of the chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency-related protein.
Single-, double- and triple-knock-out animals are expressly contemplated. Exemplary, non-limiting mammalian, e.g., rat chromosomal sequences that can be edited singly or in combination with one or more other proteins relating to immunodeficiency include fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), recombination-activating genes-1 (Rag1), recombination-activating genes-1 (Rag2), Forkhead box O1 (Foxo1), DNAPK (dsDNA-dependent protein kinase), and IL2 gamma receptor. In one embodiment, a genetically modified rat may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase gene FAH. A mutation in the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase may cause severe immunodeficiency. After pretreatment with a urokinase-expressing adenovirus, such rats can be highly engrafted with human hepatocytes from multiple sources, including liver biopsies. Furthermore, human cells could be serially transplanted from primary donors and repopulate the liver for many sequential rounds. The expanded cells are more likely to display typical human drug metabolism. A genetically modified rat that can be highly re-populated with human hepatocytes would have many potential uses in drug development and research applications. Therefore a rat comprising modified FAH may be a useful model system functioning as a robust platform to produce high-quality human hepatocytes for tissue culture, to test the toxicity of drug metabolites and to evaluate pathogens dependent on human liver cells for replication.
Regulated expression of the recombinase RAG-1 (recombination-activating genes-1) and RAG-2 (recombination-activating genes-2) proteins is generally necessary for generating the vast repertoire of antigen receptors essential for adaptive immunity. In one embodiment, a genetically modified rat may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding protein RAG-1, wherein the edited chromosomal sequence comprises a mutation such that an altered recombinase RAG-1 is produced. The mutation may also be a nonsense mutation in which substitution of one nucleotide for another introduces a stop codon, a deletion mutation in which one or more nucleotides are deleted from the chromosomal sequence, or an insertion mutation in which one or more nucleotides are introduced into the chromosomal sequence. Accordingly, the nonsense, deletion, or insertion mutation “inactivates” the sequence such that folliculin protein is not produced. Thus, a genetically modified rat comprising an inactivated RAG-1 chromosomal sequence may be used as a model organism for immunodeficiency disease research and human liver cell growth research.
Foxo1 is a key regulator of Rag1 and Rag2 transcription in primary B cells. Foxo1 directly activated transcription of the Rag1-Rag2 locus throughout early B cell development, and a decrease in Foxo1 protein diminished the Rag1 and Rag2 transcription. A genetically modified rat comprising a Foxo1 edited sequence can be used as a model organism providing a research system for cell biology and pathogenesis of these immunodeficiency diseases and for therapeutic interventions.
In another embodiment, a genetically modified rat may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding DNAPK protein, wherein the edited chromosomal sequence comprises at least one modification such that an altered version of DNAPK protein is produced. Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) is one of the two major pathways of DNA Double Strand Breaks (DSBs) repair. Mutations in human NHEJ genes, such as DNAPK, can lead to immunodeficiency due to its role in V(D)J recombination (also known as somatic recombination) in the immune system. The modification may be a missense mutation in which substitution of one nucleotide for another nucleotide changes the identity of the coded amino acid. The DNAPK coding region may be edited to comprise more than one missense mutation such that more than one amino acid is changed. Additionally, the chromosomal region may be modified to have a three nucleotide deletion or insertion such that the expressed DNAPK protein comprises a single amino acid deletion or insertion, provided such a protein is functional. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that many different modifications are possible in the DNAPK coding region. The modified DNAPK coding region may give rise to a DNAPK protein associated with immunodeficiency. In one embodiment, the genetically modified rat comprising a modified DNAPK chromosomal region may be deficient in repair of replication-induced DSBs.
The present disclosure also encompasses a genetically modified animal, e.g., a rat, comprising any combination of the above described chromosomal alterations. For example, a genetically modified rat may comprise a modified or inactivated FAH, and/or modified or inactivated RAG1 chromosomal sequence, and/or a modified RAG2 chromosomal sequence, and/or a modified or inactivated Foxo1, DNAPK, and/or IL2 gamma receptor. All and any combination of the above described chromosomal alterations may be used for hepatocyte expansion either from human or other sources, which further enables drug metabolism studies, toxicology studies, safety assessment studies, infection disease research, chronic liver disease, acute liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatitis, and any other liver infections or diseases.
(a) Immunodeficiency Proteins
Immunodeficiency proteins are those proteins for which an alteration in activity is linked to an immunodeficiency, which may be the primary or a secondary symptom of an animal disease or condition, preferably a mammalian, e.g., a human disease or condition. Inheritance of the immunodeficiency may be known and of any type, or unknown but suspected of involving a yet unidentified or incompletely identified genetic defect. Non-limiting examples of such human diseases and conditions include combined immunodeficiencies including Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) including T-B+ SCID and T-B− SCID, X-linked (γc deficiency), Autosomal recessive (Jak3 deficiency), IL7R deficiency, CD45 deficiency RAG 1/2 deficiency, Artemis deficiency, Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency, Reticular dysgenesis, Omenn syndrome, X-linked hyper IgM, CD40 deficiency, Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) deficiency, MHC class II deficiency, CD3γ or CD3 deficiency, CD8, ZAP-70 deficiency, TAP-1 deficiency, TAP-2 deficiency and Winged Helix Nude (WHN)-deficiency; other well-defined immunodeficiency syndromes Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, Ataxia-telangiectasia, Ataxia-like syndrome (or Ataxia-telangiectasia like disorder, ATLD), Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), DiGeorge syndrome (or DiGeorge anomaly), immunodeficiency with albinism, Chediak Higashi syndrome, Griscelli syndrome, X-linked lympho-proliferative syndrome, Familial haemaphagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, Immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome (IPEX), Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy and ectodermal dysplasia, and X-linked immunodeficiency and ectodermal dysplasia; predominantly antibody deficiencies including X-linked agammaglobulinaemia, Autosomal recessive agammaglobulinaemia, Ig heavy-chain gene deletions, κ Chain deficiency mutations at AR, Selective Ig deficiciency (IgG deficiency, IgA deficiency), Antibody deficiency with normal or elevated Ig's, Common variable immunodeficiency, Transient hypogamma-globulinaemia of infancy, and AID deficiency; and congenital defects of phagocytic number and/or function including Severe congenital neutropenia (Kostmann), Cyclic neutropenia, X-linked neutropenia N, Leucocyte adhesion defect, Leucocyte adhesion defect, Rac-2 GTPase defect, Specific granule, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, Chronic granulomatous disease including X-linked CDG and Autosomal CGD, Neutrophil G-6 PD defect, Myeloperoxidase, and Leucocyte mycobactericidal defects including IFN-γ receptor defects, STAT-1-defect, Interleukin-12-receptor defect and Interleukin-12-defect; and Bloom's syndrome, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Job syndrome, Panhypogammaglobulinemia, Bruton disease, Asthma, Crohn's disease (IBD), autoimmune polyglandular syndrome, primary immunodeficiency disease (PID), Ataxia oculomotor apraxia type 1, Ataxia oculomotor apraxia type 2, Gaucher disease, Hartnup disease, Niemann-Pick disease, and Refsum disease.
Certain immunodeficiencies are known to be caused by a genetic defect which in many instances has been located to a particular gene or set of genes. For example, Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) is caused by a defect in the ATM (Ataxia telangiectasia mutated) gene, which encodes a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase responsible for recognizing and repairing DNA errors. (ATLD) is a rare condition with symptoms similar to that seen in AT but typically with a milder clinical course, in which the gene mutated is hMre11, located on chromosome 11q21. In NBS patients, the Nbs1 gene is defective. Chediak-Higashi syndrome is caused by mutations in the LYST gene, which encodes the lysosomal trafficking regulator, involved in the transport of materials into lysosomes. Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID) refers to several types of immunodeficiency diseases of varying severity. SCID-X1 (“Bubble Boy syndrome”, XSCID, XL-SCID) is a known X-linked version of SCID (all other SCID forms identified are autosomal and recessive). SCID-X1 is caused by mutations in the gene for the γ subunit of the interleukin 2 (IL-2) cytokine receptor. ADA-SCID comprises 15 percent of SCID patients, and is due to a mutation in the ADA gene on chromosome 20. JAK3 Deficiency maps to the Janus kinase 3 gene on chromosome 19. Interleukin-7 receptor a Chain Deficiency is linked to JAK3 proteins, and four other interleukin receptors (IL-2, IL-5, IL-9 and IL-15). RAG1 and RAG2 Deficiencies also lead to SCID. Mutations in RAG1 or 2 also account for about half of human patients exhibiting a rare autoimmunity form of SCID called Omenn syndrome. The genes of more than 30 percent of patients diagnosed with SCID remain unidentified although heritability has been shown. Bloom syndrome (BLM; Bloom-Torre-Machacek syndrome), is a rare autosomal recessive chromosomal disorder characterized by short stature, a facial rash and moderate immune deficiency, specifically deficiency in certain immunoglobulin classes, among other symptoms. Bloom syndrome is linked to mutations in the BLM gene, which is a member of the DNA helicase family. DiGeorge syndrome (also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and DiGeorge anomaly) is characterized by a variety of symptoms including recurrent infection and is caused by the deletion of a small piece of chromosome 22, near the middle of the chromosome at q11.2, i.e., on the long arm of one of the pair of chromosomes 22. These examples are but representative and it will be readily understood that many other immunodeficiencies have been sufficiently well studied to have identified a specific genetic defect as an underlying cause.

The immunodeficiency proteins are typically selected based on an experimental association of the immunodeficiency protein to an animal disease or condition, especially a mammalian, e.g., a human disease or condition. For example, the expression of an immunodeficiency protein in a particular tissue may be elevated or depressed in a population having an immunodeficiency disease or condition relative to a population lacking the disease or condition. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic techniques including but not limited to Western blot, immunohistochemical staining, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and mass spectrometry. Alternatively, the immunodeficiency proteins may be identified by obtaining gene expression profiles of the genes encoding the proteins using genomic techniques including but not limited to DNA microarray analysis, serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE), and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR).
Exemplary immunodeficiency proteins are those endoced by RAG1, RAG2, FOXN1 or DNAPK. Most known human immunodeficiency genes have a recognized mouse ortholog. It should be understood that the gene designations as used herein, while referring to the human and mouse genomes, encompass the close homologs of any of these that have been identified among other animals including other mammals, including but not limited to rats, hamsters, cats and dogs. Close homologs can be identified by sequence analysis, phylogenetic analysis, functional assays, or any combination thereof.
(i) RAG1
The RAG1 gene (also known as recombination activating gene 1, RAG-1, RNF741, v(D)J recombination-activating protein and recombination activating protein) is involved in activation of immunoglobulin V-D-J recombination. The encoded protein is involved in recognition of the DNA substrate, but stable binding and cleavage activity also requires RAG2. Defects in RAG1 are implicated in the cause of several immunodeficiency diseases including certain forms of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency.
(ii) RAG2
The RAG2 gene (also known as recombination activating gene 2, RAG-2, and V(D)J recombination-activating protein 2), encodes a protein that is involved in the initiation of V(D)J recombination during B and T cell development. The encoded protein forms a complex with the product of RAG1 and the complex is capable of making double-strand breaks in DNA at specific recombination signal sequences. RAG1 is believed to contain most of the catalytic activity, while the N-terminal of RAG2 is thought to form structure that provides a binding scaffold for tight binding of the complex to DNA. Mutations in RAG2 cause Omenn syndrome, a form of severe combined immunodeficiency associated with autoimmune-like symptoms.
(iii) DNAPK (PRKDC)
The DNAPK gene (also known as DNAPK1, PRKDC, DNA-PK cs , HYRC and p350) encodes the catalytic subunit of a nuclear DNA-dependent serine/threonine protein kinase (DNA-PK). The second component is the autoimmune antigen Ku (MIM 152690), which is encoded by the G22P1 gene on chromosome 22q. On its own, the catalytic subunit of DNA-PK is inactive and relies on the G22P1 component to direct it to the DNA and trigger its kinase activity; PRKDC must be bound to DNA to express its catalytic properties. DNAPK has been shown to interact with NCOA6, CHEK1, Werner syndrome ATP-dependent helicase, RPA2, ILF3, DCLRE1C, ILF2, Ataxia telangiectasia mutated, Ku80, CDC5L, P53, CIB1, C1D and CHUK.
(iv) FOXN1
The FOXN1 gene (also known, e.g., as forkhead box N1, Winged-helix transcription factor nude, winged-helix nude or WHN, and Rowett nude or RONU) encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor that is thought to regulate keratin gene expression. A mutation in FOXN1 has been correlated with T-cell immunodeficiency, the skin disorder congenital alopecia, and nail dystrophy. Mutations in the FOXN1 gene at the nude locus in mice and rats result in a phenotype characterized by hairlessness, athymia and a severely compromised immune system.
The identity of the immunodeficiency protein whose chromosomal sequence is edited can and will vary. In general, the immunodeficiency protein whose chromosomal sequence is edited may be any of those listed herein including but not limited to RAG1, RAG2, FOXN1 and/or DNAPK. Exemplary genetically modified animals may comprise one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine or more inactivated chromosomal sequences encoding an immunodeficiency protein and zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight or more chromosomally integrated sequences encoding orthologous immunodeficiency proteins. Table A lists preferred combinations of inactivated chromosomal sequences and integrated orthologous sequences. For example, those rows having no entry in the “Protein Sequence” column indicate a genetically modified animal in which the sequence specified in that row under “Inactivated Sequence” is inactivated (i.e., a knock-out). Subsequent rows indicate combinations of knock-outs with knock-ins of one or more integrated orthologous sequences as indicated.

(b) Animals
The term “animal,” as used herein, refers to a non-human animal. The animal may be an embryo, a juvenile, or an adult. Suitable animals include vertebrates such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Examples of suitable mammals include without limit rodents, companion animals, livestock, and primates. Non-limiting examples of rodents include mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. Suitable companion animals include but are not limited to cats, dogs, rabbits, hedgehogs, and ferrets. Non-limiting examples of livestock include horses, goats, sheep, swine, cattle, llamas, and alpacas. Suitable primates include but are not limited to capuchin monkeys, chimpanzees, lemurs, macaques, marmosets, tamarins, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and vervet monkeys. Non-limiting examples of birds include chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese. Alternatively, the animal may be an invertebrate such as an insect, a nematode, and the like. Non-limiting examples of insects include Drosophila and mosquitoes. An exemplary animal is a rat. Non-limiting examples of suitable rat strains include Dahl Salt-Sensitive, Fischer 344, Lewis, Long Evans Hooded, Sprague-Dawley, and Wistar. In another iteration of the invention, the animal does not comprise a genetically modified mouse. In each of the foregoing iterations of suitable animals for the invention, the animal does not include exogenously introduced, randomly integrated transposon sequences.
The immunodeficiency protein may be from any of the animals listed above. Furthermore, the immunodeficiency protein may be a human immunodeficiency protein. Additionally, the immunodeficiency protein may be a bacterial or fungal immunodeficiency protein. The type of animal and the source of the protein can and will vary. The protein may be endogenous or exogenous (such as an orthologous protein). As an example, the genetically modified animal may be a rat, cat, dog, or pig, and the orthologous immunodeficiency protein may be human. Alternatively, the genetically modified animal may be a rat, cat, or pig, and the orthologous immunodeficiency protein may be canine. One of skill in the art will readily appreciate that numerous combinations are possible.
Additionally, the immunodeficency-related gene may be modified to include a tag or reporter gene as are well-known. Reporter genes include those encoding selectable markers such as chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) and neomycin phosphotransferase (neo), and those encoding a fluorescent protein such as green fluorescent protein (GFP), red fluorescent protein, or any genetically engineered variant thereof that improves the reporter performance. Non-limiting examples of known such FP variants include EGFP, blue fluorescent protein (EBFP, EBFP2, Azurite, mKalama1), cyan fluorescent protein (ECFP, Cerulean, CyPet) and yellow fluorescent protein derivatives (YFP, Citrine, Venus, YPet). For example, in a genetic construct containing a reporter gene, the reporter gene sequence can be fused directly to the targeted gene to create a gene fusion. A reporter sequence can be integrated in a targeted manner in the targeted gene, for example the reporter sequences may be integrated specifically at the 5′ or 3′ end of the targeted gene. The two genes are thus under the control of the same promoter elements and are transcribed into a single messenger RNA molecule. Alternatively, the reporter gene may be used to monitor the activity of a promoter in a genetic construct, for example by placing the reporter sequence downstream of the target promoter such that expression of the reporter gene is under the control of the target promoter, and activity of the reporter gene can be directly and quantitatively measured, typically in comparison to activity observed under a strong consensus promoter. It will be understood that doing so may or may not lead to destruction of the targeted gene.
(II) Genetically Modified Cells
A further aspect of the present disclosure provides genetically modified cells or cell lines comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein. The genetically modified cell or cell line may be derived from any of the genetically modified animals disclosed herein. Alternatively, the chromosomal sequence coding an immunodeficiency protein may be edited in a cell as detailed below. The disclosure also encompasses a lysate of said cells or cell lines.
In general, the cells will be eukaryotic cells. Suitable host cells include fungi or yeast, such as Pichia, Saccharomyces , or Schizosaccharomyces ; insect cells, such as SF9 cells from Spodoptera frugiperda or S2 cells from Drosophila melanogaster ; and animal cells, such as mouse, rat, hamster, non-human primate, or human cells. Exemplary cells are mammalian. The mammalian cells may be primary cells. In general, any primary cell that is sensitive to double strand breaks may be used. The cells may be of a variety of cell types, e.g., fibroblast, myoblast, T or B cell, macrophage, epithelial cell, and so forth.
When mammalian cell lines are used, the cell line may be any established cell line or a primary cell line that is not yet described. The cell line may be adherent or non-adherent, or the cell line may be grown under conditions that encourage adherent, non-adherent or organotypic growth using standard techniques known to individuals skilled in the art. Non-limiting examples of suitable mammalian cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, monkey kidney CVI line transformed by SV40 (COS7), human embryonic kidney line 293, baby hamster kidney cells (BHK), mouse sertoli cells (TM4), monkey kidney cells (CV1-76), African green monkey kidney cells (VERO), human cervical carcinoma cells (HeLa), canine kidney cells (MDCK), buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A), human lung cells (W138), human liver cells (Hep G2), mouse mammary tumor cells (MMT), rat hepatoma cells (HTC), HIH/3T3 cells, the human U2-OS osteosarcoma cell line, the human A549 cell line, the human K562 cell line, the human HEK293 cell lines, the human HEK293T cell line, and TR1 cells. For an extensive list of mammalian cell lines, those of ordinary skill in the art may refer to the American Type Culture Collection catalog (ATCC®, Manassas, Va.).

Suitable stem cells include without limit embryonic stem cells, ES-like stem cells, fetal stem cells, adult stem cells, pluripotent stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, multipotent stem cells, oligopotent stem cells, and unipotent stem cells.
(III) Zinc Finger-Mediated Genome Editing
In general, the genetically modified animal or cell detailed above in sections (I) and (II), respectively, is generated using a zinc finger nuclease-mediated genome editing process. The process for editing a chromosomal sequence comprises: (a) introducing into an embryo or cell at least one nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease that recognizes a target sequence in the chromosomal sequence and is able to cleave a site in the chromosomal sequence, and, optionally, (i) at least one donor polynucleotide comprising a sequence for integration flanked by an upstream sequence and a downstream sequence that share substantial sequence identity with either side of the cleavage site, or (ii) at least one exchange polynucleotide comprising a sequence that is substantially identical to a portion of the chromosomal sequence at the cleavage site and which further comprises at least one nucleotide change; and (b) culturing the embryo or cell to allow expression of the zinc finger nuclease such that the zinc finger nuclease introduces a double-stranded break into the chromosomal sequence, and wherein the double-stranded break is repaired by (i) a non-homologous end-joining repair process such that an inactivating mutation is introduced into the chromosomal sequence, or (ii) a homology-directed repair process such that the sequence in the donor polynucleotide is integrated into the chromosomal sequence or the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide is exchanged with the portion of the chromosomal sequence.
Components of the zinc finger nuclease-mediated method are described in more detail below.
(a) Zinc Finger Nuclease
The method comprises, in part, introducing into an embryo or cell at least one nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease. Typically, a zinc finger nuclease comprises a DNA binding domain (i.e., zinc finger) and a cleavage domain (i.e., nuclease). The DNA binding and cleavage domains are described below. The nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease may comprise DNA or RNA. For example, the nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease may comprise mRNA. When the nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease comprises mRNA, the mRNA molecule may be 5′ capped. Similarly, when the nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease comprises mRNA, the mRNA molecule may be polyadenylated. An exemplary nucleic acid according to the method is a capped and polyadenylated mRNA molecule encoding a zinc finger nuclease. Methods for capping and polyadenylating mRNA are known in the art.
(i) Zinc Finger Binding Domain
Zinc finger binding domains may be engineered to recognize and bind to any nucleic acid sequence of choice. See, for example, Beerli et al. (2002) Nat. Biotechnol. 20:135-141; Pabo et al. (2001) Ann. Rev. Biochem. 70:313-340; Isalan et al. (2001) Nat. Biotechnol. 19:656-660; Segal et al. (2001) Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 12:632-637; Choo et al. (2000) Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol. 10:411-416; Zhang et al. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275(43):33850-33860; Doyon et al. (2008) Nat. Biotechnol. 26:702-708; and Santiago et al. (2008) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 105:5809-5814. An engineered zinc finger binding domain may have a novel binding specificity compared to a naturally-occurring zinc finger protein. Engineering methods include, but are not limited to, rational design and various types of selection. Rational design includes, for example, using databases comprising doublet, triplet, and/or quadruplet nucleotide sequences and individual zinc finger amino acid sequences, in which each doublet, triplet or quadruplet nucleotide sequence is associated with one or more amino acid sequences of zinc fingers which bind the particular triplet or quadruplet sequence. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,453,242 and 6,534,261, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties. As an example, the algorithm of described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,453,242 may be used to design a zinc finger binding domain to target a preselected sequence. Alternative methods, such as rational design using a nondegenerate recognition code table may also be used to design a zinc finger binding domain to target a specific sequence (Sera et al. (2002) Biochemistry 41:7074-7081). Publically available web-based tools for identifying potential target sites in DNA sequences and designing zinc finger binding domains may be found at http://www.zincfingertools.org and http://bindr.gdcb.iastate.edu/ZiFiT/, respectively (Mandell et al. (2006) Nuc. Acid Res. 34:W516-W523; Sander et al. (2007) Nuc. Acid Res. 35:W599-W605).
A zinc finger binding domain may be designed to recognize a DNA sequence ranging from about 3 nucleotides to about 21 nucleotides in length, or from about 8 to about 19 nucleotides in length. In general, the zinc finger binding domains of the zinc finger nucleases disclosed herein comprise at least three zinc finger recognition regions (i.e., zinc fingers). In one embodiment, the zinc finger binding domain may comprise four zinc finger recognition regions. In another embodiment, the zinc finger binding domain may comprise five zinc finger recognition regions. In still another embodiment, the zinc finger binding domain may comprise six zinc finger recognition regions. A zinc finger binding domain may be designed to bind to any suitable target DNA sequence. See for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,607,882; 6,534,261 and 6,453,242, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.
Exemplary methods of selecting a zinc finger recognition region may include phage display and two-hybrid systems, and are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,789,538; 5,925,523; 6,007,988; 6,013,453; 6,410,248; 6,140,466; 6,200,759; and 6,242,568; as well as WO 98/37186; WO 98/53057; WO 00/27878; WO 01/88197 and GB 2,338,237, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. In addition, enhancement of binding specificity for zinc finger binding domains has been described, for example, in WO 02/077227.
Zinc finger binding domains and methods for design and construction of fusion proteins (and polynucleotides encoding same) are known to those of skill in the art and are described in detail in U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 20050064474 and 20060188987, each incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Zinc finger recognition regions and/or multi-fingered zinc finger proteins may be linked together using suitable linker sequences, including for example, linkers of five or more amino acids in length. See, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,479,626; 6,903,185; and 7,153,949, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties, for non-limiting examples of linker sequences of six or more amino acids in length. The zinc finger binding domain described herein may include a combination of suitable linkers between the individual zinc fingers of the protein.
In some embodiments, the zinc finger nuclease may further comprise a nuclear localization signal or sequence (NLS). A NLS is an amino acid sequence which facilitates targeting the zinc finger nuclease protein into the nucleus to introduce a double stranded break at the target sequence in the chromosome. Nuclear localization signals are known in the art. See, for example, Makkerh et al. (1996) Current Biology 6:1025-1027.
An exemplary zinc finger DNA binding domain recognizes and binds a sequence having at least about 80% sequence identity to a sequence chosen from SEQ ID NOS: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 (listed in the Examples herein below). In other embodiments, the sequence identity with any chosen sequence may be about 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%.
(ii) Cleavage Domain
A zinc finger nuclease also includes a cleavage domain. The cleavage domain portion of the zinc finger nucleases disclosed herein may be obtained from any endonuclease or exonuclease. Non-limiting examples of endonucleases from which a cleavage domain may be derived include, but are not limited to, restriction endonucleases and homing endonucleases. See, for example, 2002-2003 Catalog, New England Biolabs, Beverly, Mass.; and Belfort et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3379-3388 or www.neb.com. Additional enzymes that cleave DNA are known (e.g., S1 Nuclease; mung bean nuclease; pancreatic DNase I; micrococcal nuclease; yeast HO endonuclease). See also Linn et al. (eds.) Nucleases, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1993. One or more of these enzymes (or functional fragments thereof) may be used as a source of cleavage domains.
A cleavage domain also may be derived from an enzyme or portion thereof, as described above, that requires dimerization for cleavage activity. Two zinc finger nucleases may be required for cleavage, as each nuclease comprises a monomer of the active enzyme dimer. Alternatively, a single zinc finger nuclease may comprise both monomers to create an active enzyme dimer. As used herein, an “active enzyme dimer” is an enzyme dimer capable of cleaving a nucleic acid molecule. The two cleavage monomers may be derived from the same endonuclease (or functional fragments thereof), or each monomer may be derived from a different endonuclease (or functional fragments thereof).
When two cleavage monomers are used to form an active enzyme dimer, the recognition sites for the two zinc finger nucleases are preferably disposed such that binding of the two zinc finger nucleases to their respective recognition sites places the cleavage monomers in a spatial orientation to each other that allows the cleavage monomers to form an active enzyme dimer, e.g., by dimerizing. As a result, the near edges of the recognition sites may be separated by about 5 to about 18 nucleotides. For instance, the near edges may be separated by about 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 or 18 nucleotides. It will however be understood that any integral number of nucleotides or nucleotide pairs may intervene between two recognition sites (e.g., from about 2 to about 50 nucleotide pairs or more). The near edges of the recognition sites of the zinc finger nucleases, such as for example those described in detail herein, may be separated by 6 nucleotides. In general, the site of cleavage lies between the recognition sites.
Restriction endonucleases (restriction enzymes) are present in many species and are capable of sequence-specific binding to DNA (at a recognition site), and cleaving DNA at or near the site of binding. Certain restriction enzymes (e.g., Type IIS) cleave DNA at sites removed from the recognition site and have separable binding and cleavage domains. For example, the Type IIS enzyme Fok I catalyzes double-stranded cleavage of DNA, at 9 nucleotides from its recognition site on one strand and 13 nucleotides from its recognition site on the other. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,356,802; 5,436,150 and 5,487,994; as well as Li et al. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:4275-4279; Li et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:2764-2768; Kim et al. (1994a) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:883-887; Kim et al. (1994b) J. Biol. Chem. 269:31, 978-31, 982. Thus, a zinc finger nuclease may comprise the cleavage domain from at least one Type IIS restriction enzyme and one or more zinc finger binding domains, which may or may not be engineered. Exemplary Type IIS restriction enzymes are described for example in International Publication WO 07/014,275, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Additional restriction enzymes also contain separable binding and cleavage domains, and these also are contemplated by the present disclosure. See, for example, Roberts et al. (2003) Nucleic Acids Res. 31:418-420.
An exemplary Type IIS restriction enzyme, whose cleavage domain is separable from the binding domain, is Fok I. This particular enzyme is active as a dimmer (Bitinaite et al. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95: 10, 570-10, 575). Accordingly, for the purposes of the present disclosure, the portion of the Fok I enzyme used in a zinc finger nuclease is considered a cleavage monomer. Thus, for targeted double-stranded cleavage using a Fok I cleavage domain, two zinc finger nucleases, each comprising a Fokl cleavage monomer, may be used to reconstitute an active enzyme dimer. Alternatively, a single polypeptide molecule containing a zinc finger binding domain and two Fok I cleavage monomers may also be used.
In certain embodiments, the cleavage domain may comprise one or more engineered cleavage monomers that minimize or prevent homodimerization, as described, for example, in U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 20050064474, 20060188987, and 20080131962, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. By way of non-limiting example, amino acid residues at positions 446, 447, 479, 483, 484, 486, 487, 490, 491, 496, 498, 499, 500, 531, 534, 537, and 538 of Fok I are all targets for influencing dimerization of the Fok I cleavage half-domains. Exemplary engineered cleavage monomers of Fok I that form obligate heterodimers include a pair in which a first cleavage monomer includes mutations at amino acid residue positions 490 and 538 of Fok I and a second cleavage monomer that includes mutations at amino-acid residue positions 486 and 499.
Thus, in one embodiment, a mutation at amino acid position 490 replaces Glu (E) with Lys (K); a mutation at amino acid residue 538 replaces Iso (I) with Lys (K); a mutation at amino acid residue 486 replaces Gln (Q) with Glu (E); and a mutation at position 499 replaces Iso (I) with Lys (K). Specifically, the engineered cleavage monomers may be prepared by mutating positions 490 from E to K and 538 from I to K in one cleavage monomer to produce an engineered cleavage monomer designated “E490K:I538K” and by mutating positions 486 from Q to E and 499 from Ito L in another cleavage monomer to produce an engineered cleavage monomer designated “Q486E:I499L.” The above described engineered cleavage monomers are obligate heterodimer mutants in which aberrant cleavage is minimized or abolished. Engineered cleavage monomers may be prepared using a suitable method, for example, by site-directed mutagenesis of wild-type cleavage monomers (Fok I) as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20050064474 (see Example 5).
The zinc finger nuclease described above may be engineered to introduce a double stranded break at the targeted site of integration. The double stranded break may be at the targeted site of integration, or it may be up to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 100, or 1000 nucleotides away from the site of integration. In some embodiments, the double stranded break may be up to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, or 20 nucleotides away from the site of integration. In other embodiments, the double stranded break may be up to 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 nucleotides away from the site of integration. In yet other embodiments, the double stranded break may be up to 50, 100, or 1000 nucleotides away from the site of integration.
(b) Optional Donor Polynucleotide
The method for editing chromosomal sequences encoding immunodeficiency proteins may further comprise introducing at least one donor polynucleotide comprising a sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein into the embryo or cell. A donor polynucleotide comprises at least three components: the sequence coding the immunodeficiency protein, an upstream sequence, and a downstream sequence. The sequence encoding the protein is flanked by the upstream and downstream sequence, wherein the upstream and downstream sequences share sequence similarity with either side of the site of integration in the chromosome.
Typically, the donor polynucleotide will be DNA. The donor polynucleotide may be a DNA plasmid, a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC), a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC), a viral vector, a linear piece of DNA, a PCR fragment, a naked nucleic acid, or a nucleic acid complexed with a delivery vehicle such as a liposome or poloxamer. An exemplary donor polynucleotide comprising the sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein may be a BAC.
The sequence of the donor polynucleotide that encodes the immunodeficiency protein may include coding (i.e., exon) sequence, as well as intron sequences and upstream regulatory sequences (such as, e.g., a promoter). Depending upon the identity and the source of the immunodeficiency protein, the size of the sequence encoding the immunodeficiency protein can and will vary. For example, the sequence encoding the immunodeficiency protein may range in size from about 1 kb to about 5,000 kb.
The donor polynucleotide also comprises upstream and downstream sequence flanking the sequence encoding the immunodeficiency protein. The upstream and downstream sequences in the donor polynucleotide are selected to promote recombination between the chromosomal sequence of interest and the donor polynucleotide. The upstream sequence, as used herein, refers to a nucleic acid sequence that shares sequence similarity with the chromosomal sequence upstream of the targeted site of integration. Similarly, the downstream sequence refers to a nucleic acid sequence that shares sequence similarity with the chromosomal sequence downstream of the targeted site of integration. The upstream and downstream sequences in the donor polynucleotide may share about 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% sequence identity with the targeted chromosomal sequence. In other embodiments, the upstream and downstream sequences in the donor polynucleotide may share about 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% sequence identity with the targeted chromosomal sequence. In an exemplary embodiment, the upstream and downstream sequences in the donor polynucleotide may share about 99% or 100% sequence identity with the targeted chromosomal sequence.
An upstream or downstream sequence may comprise from about 50 by to about 2500 bp. In one embodiment, an upstream or downstream sequence may comprise about 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, or 2500 bp. An exemplary upstream or downstream sequence may comprise about 200 by to about 2000 bp, about 600 by to about 1000 bp, or more particularly about 700 by to about 1000 bp.
In some embodiments, the donor polynucleotide may further comprise a marker. Such a marker may make it easy to screen for targeted integrations. Non-limiting examples of suitable markers include restriction sites, fluorescent proteins, or selectable markers.
One of skill in the art would be able to construct a donor polynucleotide as described herein using well-known standard recombinant techniques (see, for example, Sambrook et al., 2001 and Ausubel et al., 1996).
In the method detailed above for integrating a sequence encoding the immunodeficiency protein, a double stranded break introduced into the chromosomal sequence by the zinc finger nuclease is repaired, via homologous recombination with the donor polynucleotide, such that the sequence encoding the immunodeficiency protein is integrated into the chromosome. The presence of a double-stranded break facilitates integration of the sequence into the chromosome. A donor polynucleotide may be physically integrated or, alternatively, the donor polynucleotide may be used as a template for repair of the break, resulting in the introduction of the sequence encoding the immunodeficiency protein as well as all or part of the upstream and downstream sequences of the donor polynucleotide into the chromosome. Thus, endogenous chromosomal sequence may be converted to the sequence of the donor polynucleotide.
(c) Optional Exchange Polynucleotide
The method for editing chromosomal sequences encoding immunodeficiency protein may further comprise introducing into the embryo or cell at least one exchange polynucleotide comprising a sequence that is substantially identical to the chromosomal sequence at the site of cleavage and which further comprises at least one specific nucleotide change.
Typically, the exchange polynucleotide will be DNA. The exchange polynucleotide may be a DNA plasmid, a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC), a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC), a viral vector, a linear piece of DNA, a PCR fragment, a naked nucleic acid, or a nucleic acid complexed with a delivery vehicle such as a liposome or poloxamer. An exemplary exchange polynucleotide may be a DNA plasmid.
The sequence in the exchange polynucleotide is substantially identical to a portion of the chromosomal sequence at the site of cleavage. In general, the sequence of the exchange polynucleotide will share enough sequence identity with the chromosomal sequence such that the two sequences may be exchanged by homologous recombination. For example, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may have at least about 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% sequence identity with a portion of the chromosomal sequence.
Importantly, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide comprises at least one specific nucleotide change with respect to the sequence of the corresponding chromosomal sequence. For example, one nucleotide in a specific codon may be changed to another nucleotide such that the codon codes for a different amino acid. In one embodiment, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may comprise one specific nucleotide change such that the encoded protein comprises one amino acid change. In other embodiments, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may comprise two, three, four, or more specific nucleotide changes such that the encoded protein comprises one, two, three, four, or more amino acid changes. In still other embodiments, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may comprise a three nucleotide deletion or insertion such that the reading frame of the coding reading is not altered (and a functional protein is produced). The expressed protein, however, would comprise a single amino acid deletion or insertion.
The length of the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide that is substantially identical to a portion of the chromosomal sequence at the site of cleavage can and will vary. In general, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may range from about 50 by to about 10,000 by in length. In various embodiments, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may be about 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, 2200, 2400, 2600, 2800, 3000, 3200, 3400, 3600, 3800, 4000, 4200, 4400, 4600, 4800, or 5000 by in length. In other embodiments, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may be about 5500, 6000, 6500, 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500, 8000, 8500, 9000, 9500, or 10,000 by in length.
One of skill in the art would be able to construct an exchange polynucleotide as described herein using well-known standard recombinant techniques (see, for example, Sambrook et al., 2001 and Ausubel et al., 1996).
In the method detailed above for modifying a chromosomal sequence, a double stranded break introduced into the chromosomal sequence by the zinc finger nuclease is repaired, via homologous recombination with the exchange polynucleotide, such that the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may be exchanged with a portion of the chromosomal sequence. The presence of the double stranded break facilitates homologous recombination and repair of the break. The exchange polynucleotide may be physically integrated or, alternatively, the exchange polynucleotide may be used as a template for repair of the break, resulting in the exchange of the sequence information in the exchange polynucleotide with the sequence information in that portion of the chromosomal sequence. Thus, a portion of the endogenous chromosomal sequence may be converted to the sequence of the exchange polynucleotide. The changed nucleotide(s) may be at or near the site of cleavage. Alternatively, the changed nucleotide(s) may be anywhere in the exchanged sequences. As a consequence of the exchange, however, the chromosomal sequence is modified.
(d) Delivery of Nucleic Acids
To mediate zinc finger nuclease genomic editing, at least one nucleic acid molecule encoding a zinc finger nuclease and, optionally, at least one exchange polynucleotide or at least one donor polynucleotide are delivered to the embryo or the cell of interest. Typically, the embryo is a fertilized one-cell stage embryo of the species of interest.
Suitable methods of introducing the nucleic acids to the embryo or cell include microinjection, electroporation, sonoporation, biolistics, calcium phosphate-mediated transfection, cationic transfection, liposome transfection, dendrimer transfection, heat shock transfection, nucleofection transfection, magnetofection, lipofection, impalefection, optical transfection, proprietary agent-enhanced uptake of nucleic acids, and delivery via liposomes, immunoliposomes, virosomes, or artificial virions. In one embodiment, the nucleic acids may be introduced into an embryo by microinjection. The nucleic acids may be microinjected into the nucleus or the cytoplasm of the embryo. In another embodiment, the nucleic acids may be introduced into a cell by nucleofection.
In embodiments in which both a nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease and a donor (or exchange) polynucleotide are introduced into an embryo or cell, the ratio of donor (or exchange) polynucleotide to nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease may range from about 1:10 to about 10:1. In various embodiments, the ratio of donor (or exchange) polynucleotide to nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease may be about 1:10, 1:9, 1:8, 1:7, 1:6, 1:5, 1:4, 1:3, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, or 10:1. In one embodiment, the ratio may be about 1:1.
In embodiments in which more than one nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease and, optionally, more than one donor (or exchange) polynucleotide are introduced into an embryo or cell, the nucleic acids may be introduced simultaneously or sequentially. For example, nucleic acids encoding the zinc finger nucleases, each specific for a distinct recognition sequence, as well as the optional donor (or exchange) polynucleotides, may be introduced at the same time. Alternatively, each nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease, as well as the optional donor (or exchange) polynucleotides, may be introduced sequentially
(e) Culturing the Embryo or Cell
The method of inducing genomic editing with a zinc finger nuclease further comprises culturing the embryo or cell comprising the introduced nucleic acid(s) to allow expression of the zinc finger nuclease. An embryo may be cultured in vitro (e.g., in cell culture). Typically, the embryo is cultured at an appropriate temperature and in appropriate media with the necessary O 2 /CO 2 ratio to allow the expression of the zinc finger nuclease. Suitable non-limiting examples of media include M2, M16, KSOM, BMOC, and HTF media. A skilled artisan will appreciate that culture conditions can and will vary depending on the species of embryo. Routine optimization may be used, in all cases, to determine the best culture conditions for a particular species of embryo. In some cases, a cell line may be derived from an in vitro-cultured embryo (e.g., an embryonic stem cell line).
Alternatively, an embryo may be cultured in vivo by transferring the embryo into the uterus of a female host. Generally speaking the female host is from the same or similar species as the embryo. Preferably, the female host is pseudo-pregnant. Methods of preparing pseudo-pregnant female hosts are known in the art. Additionally, methods of transferring an embryo into a female host are known. Culturing an embryo in vivo permits the embryo to develop and may result in a live birth of an animal derived from the embryo. Such an animal would comprise the edited chromosomal sequence encoding the immunodeficiency protein in every cell of the body.
Similarly, cells comprising the introduced nucleic acids may be cultured using standard procedures to allow expression of the zinc finger nuclease. Standard cell culture techniques are described, for example, in Santiago et al. (2008) PNAS105:5809-5814; Moehle et al. (2007) PNAS104:3055-3060; Urnov et al. (2005) Nature 435:646-651; and Lombardo et al (2007) Nat. Biotechnology 25:1298-1306. Those of skill in the art appreciate that methods for culturing cells are known in the art and can and will vary depending on the cell type. Routine optimization may be used, in all cases, to determine the best techniques for a particular cell type.
Upon expression of the zinc finger nuclease, the chromosomal sequence may be edited. In cases in which the embryo or cell comprises an expressed zinc finger nuclease but no donor (or exchange) polynucleotide, the zinc finger nuclease recognizes, binds, and cleaves the target sequence in the chromosomal sequence of interest. The double-stranded break introduced by the zinc finger nuclease is repaired by an error-prone non-homologous end-joining DNA repair process. Consequently, a deletion, insertion, or nonsense mutation may be introduced in the chromosomal sequence such that the sequence is inactivated.
In cases in which the embryo or cell comprises an expressed zinc finger nuclease as well as a donor (or exchange) polynucleotide, the zinc finger nuclease recognizes, binds, and cleaves the target sequence in the chromosome. The double-stranded break introduced by the zinc finger nuclease is repaired, via homologous recombination with the donor (or exchange) polynucleotide, such that the sequence in the donor polynucleotide is integrated into the chromosomal sequence (or a portion of the chromosomal sequence is converted to the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide). As a consequence, a sequence may be integrated into the chromosomal sequence (or a portion of the chromosomal sequence may be modified).
The genetically modified animals disclosed herein may be crossbred to create animals comprising more than one edited chromosomal sequence or to create animals that are homozygous for one or more edited chromosomal sequences. For example, two animals comprising the same edited chromosomal sequence may be crossbred to create an animal homozygous for the edited chromosomal sequence. Alternatively, animals with different edited chromosomal sequences may be crossbred to create an animal comprising both edited chromosomal sequences.
For example, animal A comprising an inactivated Rag2 chromosomal sequence may be crossed with animal B comprising a chromosomally integrated sequence encoding a human RAG2 protein to give rise to a “humanized” RAG2 offspring comprising both the inactivated Rag2 chromosomal sequence and the chromosomally integrated human RAG2 sequence. Similarly, an animal comprising an inactivated DNAPK chromosomal sequence may be crossed with an animal comprising a chromosomally integrated sequence encoding the human DNAPK protein to generate “humanized” DNAPK offspring. Moreover, a humanized FOXN1 animal may be crossed with a humanized DNAPK animal to create a humanized FOXN1/DNAPK. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that many combinations are possible. Exemplary combinations are presented above in Table A.
In other embodiments, an animal comprising an edited chromosomal sequence disclosed herein may be crossbred to combine the edited chromosomal sequence with other genetic backgrounds. By way of non-limiting example, other genetic backgrounds may include wild-type genetic backgrounds, genetic backgrounds with deletion mutations, genetic backgrounds with another targeted integration, and genetic backgrounds with non-targeted integrations. Suitable integrations may include without limit nucleic acids encoding drug transporter proteins, Mdr protein, and the like.
(IV) Applications
A further aspect of the present disclosure encompasses a method for assessing at least one effect of an agent. Suitable agents include without limit pharmaceutically active ingredients, drugs, food additives, pesticides, herbicides, toxins, industrial chemicals, household chemicals, and other environmental chemicals. For example, the effect of an agent may be measured in a “humanized” genetically modified animal, such that the information gained therefrom may be used to predict the effect of the agent in a human. In general, the method comprises contacting a genetically modified animal comprising at least one inactivated chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein and at least one chromosomally integrated sequence encoding an orthologous immunodeficiency protein with the agent, and comparing results of a selected parameter to results obtained from contacting a wild-type animal with the same agent. Selected parameters include but are not limited to (a) rate of elimination of the agent or its metabolite(s); (b) circulatory levels of the agent or its metabolite(s); (c) bioavailability of the agent or its metabolite(s); (d) rate of metabolism of the agent or its metabolite(s); (e) rate of clearance of the agent or its metabolite(s); (f) toxicity of the agent or its metabolite(s); (g) efficacy of the agent or its metabolite(s); (h) disposition of the agent or its metabolite(s); and (i) extrahepatic contribution to metabolic rate and clearance of the agent or its metabolite(s).
An additional aspect provides a method for assessing the therapeutic potential of an agent in an animal that may include contacting a genetically modified animal comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein, and comparing results of a selected parameter to results obtained from a wild-type animal with no contact with the same agent, Selected parameters include but are not limited to a) spontaneous behaviors; b) performance during behavioral testing; c) physiological anomalies; d) abnormalities in tissues or cells; e) biochemical function; and f) molecular structures.
Also provided are methods to assess the effect(s) of an agent in an isolated cell comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency protein, as well as methods of using lysates of such cells (or cells derived from a genetically modified animal disclosed herein) to assess the effect(s) of an agent. For example, the role of a particular immunodeficiency protein in the metabolism of a particular agent may be determined using such methods. Similarly, substrate specificity and pharmacokinetic parameter may be readily determined using such methods. Those of skill in the art are familiar with suitable tests and/or procedures.
Yet another aspect encompasses a method for assessing the therapeutic efficacy of a potential gene therapy strategy. That is, a chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficency-related protein may be modified such that the immunodefiency effect is reduced or eliminated. In particular, the method comprises editing a chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency-related protein such that an altered protein product is produced.
Still yet another aspect encompasses a method of generating a cell line or cell lysate using a genetically modified animal comprising an edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficency-related protein. An additional other aspect encompasses a method of producing purified biological components using a genetically modified cell or animal comprising an edited chromosomal sequence encoding an immunodeficiency-related protein. Non-limiting examples of biological components include antibodies, cytokines, signal proteins, enzymes, receptor agonists and receptor antagonists.
It should be understood that the genetically modified animals, e.g., knockout and transgenic animals such as rats as described herein may include genes altered singly or in combination, including alteration to any one or more of Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, and DNAPK. Accordingly, for example, animals including a single, double or triple gene knock-out are contemplated. Any of these may used in various methods in which alteration of one or more immunodeficiency genes may be useful. For example, genetically modified animals as described herein may be used in studies of hematopoietic cells, such as in the identification of progenitor cells including lymphoid progenitors and pluripotential stem cells; in the identification of new cytokines which play a role in the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic cells; in the analysis of the effect of known cytokines; and in the analysis of drugs effects on hematopoietic cells. Such animals can also be used in studies on pathogenetic mechanisms in disease caused by viral infections such as but not limited to influenza, West Nile virus, herpesviruses, picornaviruses, neurotropic coronavirus, Varicella-zoster (chicken pox), respiratory syncytial virus, cowpox, hepatitis B, rabies, and Dengue virus, and lymphotropic viruses including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human T lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1), and Epstein Barr virus (EBV), and also a virus that specifically infects rats but models the effects of a human-specific virus on its host, for example the rat-adapted influenza virus (see, e.g., H. Lebrec and G. R. Burleson (1994) Toxicology. July 1; 91(2):179-88).
Genetically modified animals may also be useful in methods for screening or evaluating new candidiate therapeutic compounds or approaches, such as in screening of candidate therapeutic compounds for treating an immunodeficiency. Genetically modified animals may also be useful in studies of defense mechanisms against microorganisms that cause disease in immunocompromised patients such as cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystic carinii or Candida species. Genetically modified animals, such as for example knockout rats can be subjects for pre-clinical evaluation of a specific “gene therapy”. For example, genes may be introduced into hematopoietic progenitor cells, preferably into pluripotential stem cells with self-renewal capacity from patients with inherited genetic defects, or into pluripotential stem cells with self-renewal capacity from rat models of patients with inherited genetic defects, and the cells re-introduced into the genetically modified rats for the purpose of determining therapeutic usefulness of the modified cells. Genetically modified animals may also be useful for studying the biological mechanisms underlying immunodeficiency diseases and conditions caused by or linked to a mutation in an immunodeficiency gene such as Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, or DNAPK.
Natural killer (NK) cells in nude rats are highly active compared to immunocompetent controls (see, e.g., N. Masui et. al. Exp Anim. 2004 October; 53(5):399-407.PMID: 15516787), and NK cells participate in xenograft rejection and defend against carcinogenesis by killing tumor cells. A genetically modified animal as described herein, for example an animal in which an immunodeficiency gene is modified, e.g., knocked out, to produce an immunodeficient animal which can thenm be used for a number of purposes relating to modeling and quantifying a particular type of immunodeficiency. Such an animal may be also be used to model xenografting and tumorigenesis. It should be recognized that genetically modified animals as described herein, such as rats, are likely to exhibit certain characteristics exhibited in the corresponding mouse models in which an immunodeficiency gene altered. Such characteristics include certain disorders of the skin, nails and hair including hairlessness, abnormal skin pigmentation (Rag1, FoxN1), and increased susceptibility to skin cancers and psoriasis (FoxN1). In a genetically modified animal as described herein and which exhibits a phenotype comparable to that observed in mouse models, the animal can provide a new and useful model for studying the underlying causes of alopecia, vitiligo, melanogenesis, or psorisis.
A genetically modified animal as described herein, such as a rat produced by knocking out any one or more immunodeficiency genes such as any one or more of Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, and DNAPK, such that the animal does not express the target gene(s), may exhibit an enhanced engraftment capacity of heterologous cells relative to a wild type animal, may have either non-functional T-cells or non-functional B-cells, or may have no T-cells or B-cells, or may exhibit reduced macrophage function relative to a wild type rat, or may exhibit no NK cells or NK cell activity, or exhibits reduced dendritic cell (DC) function relative to a wild type animal, and retains human tumor cells. Such an animal may be used for example in a method of screening an antiviral agent, wherein the effects of exposure of the genetically modified animal to the antiviral agent can be measured and compared to those observed in a wild type control animal. Such an animal may be used to develop a diagnostic assay for an immunodeficiency including a leukemia, in which the animal, either left untreated or previously treated with a a therapeutic agent, is assessed for the presence of one or more biomarkers relative a non-affected control animal. Such an animal may be used in a method of screening a candidate therapy or therapeutic compound for treating leukemia, for example, using a genetically modified animal in which any one or more immunodeficiency genes such as Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, or DNAPK are knocked out, and the animal, either left untreated or previously treated with a therapeutic agent which may be a drug, microbe, transplanted cells, or other agent, is then treated with the candidate therapy or candidate therapeutic agent, a biological sample is obtained from the animal, and the biological sample evaluated relative to a sample from a non-affected wild-type control sample, or a sample not subjected to the candidate therapy or therapeutic agent.
A method for modeling an autoimmune disease may involve adoptive transfer of B cells reacting to an antigen for an autoimmune disease, or T cells activated for an autoimmune disease. The appropriate non-human mammal with the antigen target of the autoimmune disease can be immunized as follows: immune cells are prepared from the immunized animal, the immune cells are transplanted to genetically modified animal as described herein such as a Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, or DNAPK knockout rat, or a rat with any combination of these genes knocked out, and development of autoimmune phenotypes in the recipient is evaluated as compared to either a non-transplanted knockout animal, or compared to a knockout animal transplanted with non-pathologic immune cells that lack auto-reactivity, or compared to a wild type animal transplanted with immune cells as described above.
A method of evaluating potential therapeutic agents for skin disorders involving pigmentation (melanocyte biology), hypersensitivity to ultraviolet (uv) light damage, hair development, nail disease (onchyocyte differentiation), or psoriasis, can include: identifying traits indicating skin disorders in a genetically modified animal as described herein, such as in a rat in which one or more of FoxN1, Rag1, Rag2, or DNAPK are knocked out, as compared to wild-type controls, including: hypopigmentation, increased incidence of skin cancers, lack of hair, brittle or dysmorphic nails, or psoriatic lesions; treating the genetically modified animal with a candidate therapeutic compound; and evaluating any change in phenotype as compared to untreated knockout animals or knockout animals mock-treated as a control. A change in phenotype such as increased pigmentation, decreased sensitivity to uv light, increased hair development, normal nail development, or improvement or healing of psoriatic lesions is indicative of a therapeutic effect of the indicates the candidate compound is a therapeutic agent.
A method for creating a combined immunodeficiency syndrome model may include providing a genetically modified animal such as a rat wherein Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, or DNAPK are knocked out as described herein, and the knockout animal is further rendered deficient for natural killer (NK) cells by any one of several possible methods, including, or example, i) disruption of the Lyst gene; or ii) treatment of FoxN1 mutant animals with a compound that inhibits NK cell activity, for example: NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), statins, allosteric LFA-1 inhibitors, vinblastine, paclitaxel, docetaxel, cladribine, chlorambucil, bortezomib, or MG-132.
DEFINITIONS
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the meaning commonly understood by a person skilled in the art to which this invention belongs. The following references provide one of skill with a general definition of many of the terms used in this invention: Singleton et al., Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology (2nd ed. 1994); The Cambridge Dictionary of Science and Technology (Walker ed., 1988); The Glossary of Genetics, 5th Ed., R. Rieger et al. (eds.), Springer Verlag (1991); and Hale & Marham, The Harper Collins Dictionary of Biology (1991). As used herein, the following terms have the meanings ascribed to them unless specified otherwise.
A “gene,” as used herein, refers to a DNA region (including exons and introns) encoding a gene product, as well as all DNA regions which regulate the production of the gene product, whether or not such regulatory sequences are adjacent to coding and/or transcribed sequences. Accordingly, a gene includes, but is not necessarily limited to, promoter sequences, terminators, translational regulatory sequences such as ribosome binding sites and internal ribosome entry sites, enhancers, silencers, insulators, boundary elements, replication origins, matrix attachment sites, and locus control regions.
The terms “nucleic acid” and “polynucleotide” refer to a deoxyribonucleotide or ribonucleotide polymer, in linear or circular conformation, and in either single- or double-stranded form. For the purposes of the present disclosure, these terms are not to be construed as limiting with respect to the length of a polymer. The terms can encompass known analogs of natural nucleotides, as well as nucleotides that are modified in the base, sugar and/or phosphate moieties (e.g., phosphorothioate backbones). In general, an analog of a particular nucleotide has the same base-pairing specificity; i.e., an analog of A will base-pair with T.
The terms “polypeptide” and “protein” are used interchangeably to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues.
The term “recombination” refers to a process of exchange of genetic information between two polynucleotides. For the purposes of this disclosure, “homologous recombination” refers to the specialized form of such exchange that takes place, for example, during repair of double-strand breaks in cells. This process requires sequence similarity between the two polynucleotides, uses a “donor” or “exchange” molecule to template repair of a “target” molecule (i.e., the one that experienced the double-strand break), and is variously known as “non-crossover gene conversion” or “short tract gene conversion,” because it leads to the transfer of genetic information from the donor to the target. Without being bound by any particular theory, such transfer can involve mismatch correction of heteroduplex DNA that forms between the broken target and the donor, and/or “synthesis-dependent strand annealing,” in which the donor is used to resynthesize genetic information that will become part of the target, and/or related processes. Such specialized homologous recombination often results in an alteration of the sequence of the target molecule such that part or all of the sequence of the donor polynucleotide is incorporated into the target polynucleotide. As used herein, the terms “target site” or “target sequence” refer to a nucleic acid sequence that defines a portion of a chromosomal sequence to be edited and to which a zinc finger nuclease is engineered to recognize and bind, provided sufficient conditions for binding exist.
Techniques for determining nucleic acid and amino acid sequence identity are known in the art. Typically, such techniques include determining the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA for a gene and/or determining the amino acid sequence encoded thereby, and comparing these sequences to a second nucleotide or amino acid sequence. Genomic sequences can also be determined and compared in this fashion. In general, identity refers to an exact nucleotide-to-nucleotide or amino acid-to-amino acid correspondence of two polynucleotides or polypeptide sequences, respectively. Two or more sequences (polynucleotide or amino acid) can be compared by determining their percent identity. The percent identity of two sequences, whether nucleic acid or amino acid sequences, is the number of exact matches between two aligned sequences divided by the length of the shorter sequences and multiplied by 100. An approximate alignment for nucleic acid sequences is provided by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman, Advances in Applied Mathematics 2:482-489 (1981). This algorithm can be applied to amino acid sequences by using the scoring matrix developed by Dayhoff, Atlas of Protein Sequences and Structure, M. O. Dayhoff ed., 5 suppl. 3:353-358, National Biomedical Research Foundation, Washington, D.C., USA, and normalized by Gribskov, Nucl. Acids Res. 14(6):6745-6763 (1986). An exemplary implementation of this algorithm to determine percent identity of a sequence is provided by the Genetics Computer Group (Madison, Wis.) in the “BestFit” utility application. Other suitable programs for calculating the percent identity or similarity between sequences are generally known in the art, for example, another alignment program is BLAST, used with default parameters. For example, BLASTN and BLASTP can be used using the following default parameters: genetic code=standard; filter=none; strand=both; cutoff=60; expect=10; Matrix=BLOSUM62; Descriptions=50 sequences; sort by ═HIGH SCORE; Databases=non-redundant, GenBank+EMBL+DDBJ+PDB+GenBank CDS translations-FSwiss protein+Spupdate+PIR. Details of these programs can be found on the GenBank website. With respect to sequences described herein, the range of desired degrees of sequence identity is approximately 80% to 100% and any integer value therebetween. Typically the percent identities between sequences are at least 70-75%, preferably 80-82%, more preferably 85-90%, even more preferably 92%, still more preferably 95%, and most preferably 98% sequence identity.
Alternatively, the degree of sequence similarity between polynucleotides can be determined by hybridization of polynucleotides under conditions that allow formation of stable duplexes between regions that share a degree of sequence identity, followed by digestion with single-stranded-specific nuclease(s), and size determination of the digested fragments. Two nucleic acid, or two polypeptide sequences are substantially similar to each other when the sequences exhibit at least about 70%-75%, preferably 80%-82%, more-preferably 85%-90%, even more preferably 92%, still more preferably 95%, and most preferably 98% sequence identity over a defined length of the molecules, as determined using the methods above. As used herein, substantially similar also refers to sequences showing complete identity to a specified DNA or polypeptide sequence. DNA sequences that are substantially similar can be identified in a Southern hybridization experiment under, for example, stringent conditions, as defined for that particular system. Defining appropriate hybridization conditions is within the skill of the art. See, e.g., Sambrook et al., supra; Nucleic Acid Hybridization: A Practical Approach, editors B. D. Hames and S. J. Higgins, (1985) Oxford; Washington, D.C.; IRL Press).
Selective hybridization of two nucleic acid fragments can be determined as follows. The degree of sequence identity between two nucleic acid molecules affects the efficiency and strength of hybridization events between such molecules. A partially identical nucleic acid sequence will at least partially inhibit the hybridization of a completely identical sequence to a target molecule. Inhibition of hybridization of the completely identical sequence can be assessed using hybridization assays that are well known in the art (e.g., Southern (DNA) blot, Northern (RNA) blot, solution hybridization, or the like, see Sambrook, et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition, (1989) Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.). Such assays can be conducted using varying degrees of selectivity, for example, using conditions varying from low to high stringency. If conditions of low stringency are employed, the absence of non-specific binding can be assessed using a secondary probe that lacks even a partial degree of sequence identity (for example, a probe having less than about 30% sequence identity with the target molecule), such that, in the absence of non-specific binding events, the secondary probe will not hybridize to the target.
When utilizing a hybridization-based detection system, a nucleic acid probe is chosen that is complementary to a reference nucleic acid sequence, and then by selection of appropriate conditions the probe and the reference sequence selectively hybridize, or bind, to each other to form a duplex molecule. A nucleic acid molecule that is capable of hybridizing selectively to a reference sequence under moderately stringent hybridization conditions typically hybridizes under conditions that allow detection of a target nucleic acid sequence of at least about 10-14 nucleotides in length having at least approximately 70% sequence identity with the sequence of the selected nucleic acid probe. Stringent hybridization conditions typically allow detection of target nucleic acid sequences of at least about 10-14 nucleotides in length having a sequence identity of greater than about 90-95% with the sequence of the selected nucleic acid probe. Hybridization conditions useful for probe/reference sequence hybridization, where the probe and reference sequence have a specific degree of sequence identity, can be determined as is known in the art (see, for example, Nucleic Acid Hybridization: A Practical Approach, editors B. D. Hames and S. J. Higgins, (1985) Oxford; Washington, D.C.; IRL Press). Conditions for hybridization are well-known to those of skill in the art.
Hybridization stringency refers to the degree to which hybridization conditions disfavor the formation of hybrids containing mismatched nucleotides, with higher stringency correlated with a lower tolerance for mismatched hybrids. Factors that affect the stringency of hybridization are well-known to those of skill in the art and include, but are not limited to, temperature, pH, ionic strength, and concentration of organic solvents such as, for example, formamide and dimethylsulfoxide. As is known to those of skill in the art, hybridization stringency is increased by higher temperatures, lower ionic strength and lower solvent concentrations. With respect to stringency conditions for hybridization, it is well known in the art that numerous equivalent conditions can be employed to establish a particular stringency by varying, for example, the following factors: the length and nature of the sequences, base composition of the various sequences, concentrations of salts and other hybridization solution components, the presence or absence of blocking agents in the hybridization solutions (e.g., dextran sulfate, and polyethylene glycol), hybridization reaction temperature and time parameters, as well as, varying wash conditions. A particular set of hybridization conditions may be selected following standard methods in the art (see, for example, Sambrook, et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition, (1989) Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.).
EXAMPLES
The following non-limiting examples are included to illustrate the invention.
Example 1
Identification of ZFNs that Edit the Rag1 Locus
The Rag1 gene was chosen for zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) mediated genome editing. ZFNs were designed, assembled, and validated using strategies and procedures previously described (see Geurts et al. Science (2009) 325:433). ZFN design made use of an archive of pre-validated 1-finger and 2-finger modules. The rat Rag1 gene region (XM — 001079242) was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites to which existing modules could be fused to generate a pair of 4-, 5-, or 6-finger proteins that would bind a 12-18 by sequence on one strand and a 12-18 by sequence on the other strand, with about 5-6 by between the two binding sites.
Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding each pair of ZFNs was produced using known molecular biology techniques. The mRNA was transfected into rat cells. Control cells were injected with mRNA encoding GFP. Active ZFN pairs were identified by detecting ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks using the Cel-1 nuclease assay. This assay detects alleles of the target locus that deviate from wild type as a result of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated imperfect repair of ZFN-induced DNA double strand breaks. PCR amplification of the targeted region from a pool of ZFN-treated cells generates a mixture of WT and mutant amplicons. Melting and reannealing of this mixture results in mismatches forming between heteroduplexes of the WT and mutant alleles. A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch is cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. This assay revealed that the ZFN pair targeted to bind 5′-ttCCTTGGGCAGTAGACctgactgtgag-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 5; contact sites in uppercase) and 5′-gtGACCGTGGAGTGGCAcccccacacac-'3′ (SEQ ID NO: 6) cleaved within the Rag1 locus.
Example 2
Editing the Rag1 Locus
Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the active pair of ZFNs was microinjected into fertilized rat embryos using standard procedures (e.g., see Geurts et al. (2009) supra). The injected embryos were either incubated in vitro, or transferred to pseudopregnant female rats to be carried to parturition. The resulting embryos/fetus, or the toe/tail clip of live born animals were harvested for DNA extraction and analysis. DNA was isolated using standard procedures. The targeted region of the Rag1 locus was PCR amplified using appropriate primers. The amplified DNA was subcloned into a suitable vector and sequenced using standard methods. FIG. 1 presents DNA sequences of edited Rag1 loci in two animals. One animal had a 808 by deletion in exon 2, and a second animal had a 29 by deletion in the target sequence of exon 2. These deletions disrupt the reading frame of the Rag1 coding region.
Example 3
Identification of ZFNs that Edit the Rag2 Locus
ZFNs that target and cleave the Rag2 gene were identified essentially as described above. The rat Rag2 gene (XM — 001079235) was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites. ZFNs were assembled and tested essentially as described in Example 1. This assay revealed that the ZFN pair targeted to bind 5′-acGTGGTATATaGCCGAGgaaaaagtgt-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 7; contact sites in uppercase) and 5′-atACCACGTCAATGGAAtggccatatct-'3′ (SEQ ID NO: 8) cleaved within the Rag2 locus.
Example 4
Editing the Rag2 Locus
Rat embryos were microinjected with mRNA encoding the active pair of Rag2 ZFNs essentially as described in Example 2. The injected embryos were incubated and DNA was extracted from the resultant animals. The targeted region of the Rag2 locus was PCR amplified using appropriate primers. The amplified DNA was subcloned into a suitable vector and sequenced using standard methods. FIG. 2 presents DNA sequences of edited Rag2 loci in two animals. One animal had a 13 by deletion in the target sequence in exon 3, and a second animal had a 2 by deletion in the target sequence of exon 3. These deletions disrupt the reading frame of the Rag2 coding region.
Example 5
Identification of ZFNs that Edit the FoxN 1 Locus
ZFNs that target and cleave the FoxN1 gene were identified essentially as described above in Example 1. The rat FoxN1 gene (XM — 220632) was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites. ZFNs were assembled and tested essentially as described in Example 1. This assay revealed two pairs of active ZFNs that cleaved within the FoxN1 locus: a first pair targeted to bind 5′-ttAAGGGCCATGAAGATgaggatgctac-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 9; contact sites in uppercase) and 5′-caGCAAGACCGGAAGCCttccagtcagt-'3′ (SEQ ID NO: 10); and a second pair targeted to bind 5′-ttGTCGATTTTGGAAGGattgagggccc-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 11) and 5′-atGCAGGAAGAGCTGCAgaagtggaaga-'3′ (SEQ ID NO: 12)
Example 6
Identification of ZFNs that Edit the DNAPK Locus
ZFNs that target and cleave the DNAPK gene were identified essentially as described above in Example 1. The rat DNAPK gene (NM — 001108327) was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites. ZFNs were assembled and tested essentially as described in Example 1. This assay revealed that the ZFN pair targeted to bind 5′-taCACAAGTCCtTCTCCAggagctagaa-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 13; contact sites in uppercase) and 5′-acAAAGCTTATGAAGGTcttagtgaaaa-'3′ (SEQ ID NO: 14) cleaved within the DNAPK locus.
The table below presents the amino acid sequences of helices of the active ZFNs.
