ENGINEERED ZINC FINGER PROTEINS TARGETING 5-ENOLPYRUVYL SHIKIMATE-3-PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE GENES

摘要

The present disclosure relates to engineered zinc finger proteins that target 5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) genes in plants and methods of using such zinc finger proteins in modulating gene expression, gene inactivation, and targeted gene modification. In particular, the disclosure pertains to zinc finger nucleases for targeted cleavage and alteration of EPSPS genes.
