Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are engineered cleavage half-domains; fusion polypeptides comprising these engineered cleavage half-domains; polynucleotides encoding the engineered cleavage half-domains and fusion proteins; and cells comprising said polynucleotides and/or fusion proteins. Also described are methods of using these polypeptides and polynucleotides, for example for targeted cleavage of a genomic sequence.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated cell or cell line comprising a genomic modification made by at least one TALE-nuclease (TALEN) fusion polypeptide, the TALEN comprising: (i) a TALE effector DNA-binding domain that binds to a target site in the genome of the cell; and (ii) a polypeptide comprising an engineered FokI cleavage half-domain, wherein the engineered cleavage half-domain comprises a mutation selected from the group consisting of: substitution mutations at amino acid…
