The ability to use module fingers in the OPEN platform at target sites of 5–7 bp spacer lengths increases the probability of finding a ZFN target site to 1 in 4 bp. In addition, we demonstrate that the Oligomerized Pool ENgineering (OPEN) platform used for making three-fingered ZF proteins (ZFPs) can be modified to incorporate modular assembly fingers (including those recognizing ANNs, CNNs, and TNNs) and we were able to generate nucleases that efficiently cut cognate target sites. Dissecting effectivity of a 5 quick amplification of cDNA ends (5-RACE) technique for profiling T-cell receptor beta repertoire Deep sequencing of T-cell receptor (TCR) genes is very efficient at profiling immune repertoire. We found those nucleases with linkers’ lengths of 2 or 4 amino acid (aa) efficiently cut at target sites with 5 or 6 base pair (bp) spacers, and that those ZFNs with a 5-aa linker length efficiently cut target sites with 6 or 7 bp spacers. cDNA cloning, expression and initial characterization of metabolism. In this work, we compare the activity of ZFNs with different linkers on target sites with different spacer lengths. The generic structure of these enzymes includes a ZF DNA-binding domain and nuclease domain (Fn) are separated by an amino acid “linker” and cut genomic DNA at sites that have a generic structure (site1)-(spacer)-(site2) where the “spacer” separates the two binding sites. In order to examine the ability of JAMS models to recover the in vivo binding preferences of TFs, we first applied it to ChIP-seq data from CTCF, a widely studied TF that is constitutively expressed across cell lines and tissues 21, 22 and has a long residence time on DNA. Recent studies have shown that zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) are powerful reagents for making site-specific genomic modifications.
