Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides compositions and methods for targeted cleavage of cellular chromatin in a region of interest and/or homologous recombination at a predetermined site in cells. Compositions include fusion polypeptides comprising a TAL effector binding or a zinc finger domain and an I-TevI homing endonuclease cleavage domain as well as nucleic acid sequence encoding the same. The use of the I-TevI domain allows for monomer endonuclease sequences to achieve cleavage of cellular chromatin and represents an advantage over prior endonucleases which require self-dimerization, and two nucleases with appropriate spacers.
