SELECTION OF SITES FOR TARGETING BY ZINC FINGER PROTEINS AND METHODS OF DESIGNING ZINC FINGER PROTEINS TO BINDS TO PRESELECTED SITES
摘要
The invention provides criteria and methods for selecting optimum subsequence(s) from a target for targeting by a zinc finger protein. Some of the methods of targetgene site selection seek to identify one or more target segments having a DNA motif containing one or more so-called D-able subsites having the sequence 5'NNGK3'. Other methods of the invention are directed to selection of target segments within target genes using a correspondence regime between different triplets of three bases and the three possible positions of a triplet within a nine-base site. In another aspect, the invention provides methods of designing zinc finger proteins that bind to a preselected target site. These methods can be used following the preselection of target sites according to the procedures and criteria described above. The methods of design use a database containing information about previously characterized zinc finger proteins.
