Using defined finger–finger interfaces as units of assembly for constructing zinc-finger nucleases
Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) have been used for genome engineering in a wide variety of organisms; however, it remains challenging to design effective ZFNs for many genomic sequences using publicly available zinc-finger modules. This limitation is in part because of potential finger-finger incompatibility generated on assembly of modules into zinc-finger arrays (ZFAs). Herein, we describe the v...
متن کاملHighly active zinc-finger nucleases by extended modular assembly.
Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) are important tools for genome engineering. Despite intense interest by many academic groups, the lack of robust noncommercial methods has hindered their widespread use. The modular assembly (MA) of ZFNs from publicly available one-finger archives provides a rapid method to create proteins that can recognize a very broad spectrum of DNA sequences. However, three- an...
متن کاملPrecise Genome Modification in Maize Using Zinc-Finger Nucleases
Agricultural biotechnology is limited by the inefficiency and unpredictability of conventional random mutagenesis and transgenesis. We have developed a broadly applicable, versatile alternative: the use of designed zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) that induce double-stranded breaks (DSB) at their target locus. We show that ZFNs designed to cleave an endogenous maize gene disrupt their target via DS...
متن کاملTargeted genome modification in mice using zinc-finger nucleases.
Homologous recombination-based gene targeting using Mus musculus embryonic stem cells has greatly impacted biomedical research. This study presents a powerful new technology for more efficient and less time-consuming gene targeting in mice using embryonic injection of zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), which generate site-specific double strand breaks, leading to insertions or deletions via DNA repa...
متن کاملTargeted mutagenesis using zinc-finger nucleases in Arabidopsis.
Targeted mutagenesis is an essential tool of reverse genetics that could be used experimentally to investigate basic plant biology or modify crop plants for improvement of important agricultural traits. Although targeted mutagenesis is routine in several model organisms including yeast and mouse, efficient and widely usable methods to generate targeted modifications in plant genes are not curre...
