中文摘要
归巢内切酶是一种非常特异的DNA结合蛋白,它专门作用于个体
宿主基因组中的位置。这些蛋白质正在进行内部研究,目的是为了制造单一的工程。
用于基因治疗和其他应用的链状基因特异性试剂。在过去的10年里,我们
已经确定了来自所有已知归宿家族的代表的结构和机制
核酸内切酶,分别存在于噬菌体、真核细菌、古细菌和单细胞真核细胞中。此外,我们
已经描述了作用于非同源位点的归巢核酸内切酶变体的创建。这些构造
都是使用细菌选择策略和计算方法产生的,这两种方法都是
直接接触DMA基对的靶标酶残留物。在这两种情况下,这样的实验都产生了
显示转移的DMA识别属性的内切酶,但代价是减少了位点歧视
超能力。我们假设,为了完全重新编程寻的DNA识别特异性
内切酶,在不减少位点歧视的情况下,蛋白质-DNA接触的重新计算必须是
结合对附近酶支架结构突变的选择,这些突变可以对蛋白质进行微调

基因组工程联盟是通过将体细胞的超突变结合在一起来完成这一任务
核酸内切酶支架,DNA接触的计算重新设计和选择,以及生化/生物物理

英文摘要
Homing endonucleases are extraordinarily specific DNA-binding proteins, acting specifically at individual
sites within a host genome. These proteins are under instense study for the purpose of engineering single
chain gene-specific reagents to be used for gene therapy and other applications. Over the past 10 years, we
have determined the structure and mechanisms of representatives form all known families of homing
endonucleases, found respectively in phage, eubacteria, archae, and single cell eukarya. In addition, we
have described the creation of homing endonuclease variants that act at noncognate sites. These constructs
have been generated using both bacterial selection strategies and compuational methods, both of which
target enzyme residues that directly contact DMA basepairs. In either case, such experiments have produced
endonucleases that display shifted DMA recognition properties, but at the cost of reduced site-discrimination
abilities. We hypothesize that in order to completely reprogram the DNA recognition specificity of a homing
endonuclease, without a reduction in site discrimination, the resculpting of protein-DNA contacts must be
combined with the selection of structural mutations in the nearby enzyme scaffold that "fine-tune" the protein
-DNA interaface of each novel cognate complex. The goal of overall Specific Aim 1 of the Northwest
Genome Engineering Consortium is to accomplish this task by combining somatic hypermutation of the
endonuclease scaffold, computational redesign and selection of DNA contacts, and biochemical/biophysical
characterization of the resulting endonuclease constructs.
In our component of the consortium's activities, we will be responsible for the following aims:
1. We will determine the in vitro site specificity profile of the novel endonuclease construcst using two
related methods to directly visualize cleavage of DNA target variants and to quantitate specificity at each
base pair.
2. We will determine the thermodynamic signature of cognate and non-cognate site recognition for
redesigned homing endonucleases, using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).
3. We will determine the three-dimensional structure of novel endonuclease-DNA cognate pairs at high
resolution, and will characterize (a) the effect of enzyme scaffold mutations on backbone structure, and 9b)
the accuracy of computational redesign predictions within the protein-DNA interface.
