Abstract
EngineeredCas9 (ScCas9) variants include an ScCas9 protein with its PID being the PID amino acid composition ofCas9 (SpCas9-NG, an ScCas9 protein having a threonine-to-lysine substitution mutation at position 1227 in its amino acid sequence (Sc+), and an ScCas9 protein having a threonine-to-lysine substitution mutation at position 1227 and a substitution of residues ADKKLRKRSGKLATE [SEQ ID No. 4] in position 365-379 in the ScCas9 open reading frame (Sc++). Also included are CRISPR-associated DNA endonucleases with a PAM specificity of 5'-NG-3′ or 5′-NNG-3′ and a method of altering expression of a gene product by utilizing the engineered ScCas9 variants.
