Methods And Compositions For Using Zinc Finger Endonucleases To Enhance Homologous Recombination

US Patent:

20030232410, Dec 18, 2003
Filed:

Mar 20, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/395816
Inventors:

Monika Liljedahl - La Jolla CA, US
Simon Aspland - San Diego CA, US
David Segal - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:

C12P021/02
C12N015/85
C12N005/06
US Classification:

435/069100, 435/455000, 435/325000
Abstract:

Embodiments relate to methods of generating a genetically modified cell. The methods can include providing a primary cell containing an endogenous chromosomal target DNA sequence in which it is desired to have homologous recombination occur. The methods also can include providing a zinc finger endonuclease (ZFE) that includes an endonuclease domain that cuts DNA, and a zinc finger domain that includes a plurality of zinc fingers that bind to a specific nucleotide sequence within the endogenous chromosomal target DNA in the primary cell. Further, the methods can include contacting the endogenous chromosomal target DNA sequence with the zinc finger endonuclease in the primary cell such that the zinc finger endonuclease cuts both strands of a nucleotide sequence within the endogenous chromosomal target DNA sequence in the primary cell, thereby enhancing the frequency of homologous recombination in the endogenous chromosomal target DNA sequence. The methods also include providing a nucleic acid comprising a sequence homologous to at least a portion of said endogenous chromosomal target DNA such that homologous recombination occurs between the endogenous chromosomal target DNA sequence and the nucleic acid.
