A patent application (Publication Number: US20230416787A1) has been filed for a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a Cpf1 protein, with specific characteristics outlined in the claims. The molecule includes a eukaryotic nucleic acid sequence that is at least 17 nucleotides long and contains or is adjacent to a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) recognized by the Cpf1 protein. Additionally, the molecule may also include a guide RNA (gRNA) with a targeting domain complementary to a portion of the eukaryotic nucleic acid sequence near the PAM.
Furthermore, the patent application describes a transiently-active genome editing system utilizing the Cpf1 protein encoded by the nucleic acid molecule. This system is designed to alter both a cellular endogenous target gene and the expression of the Cpf1 protein itself. The method involves delivering a Cpf1/gRNA complex to the cell, which can cleave the nucleic acid encoding the engineered Cpf1 protein and the target site in the cell. The engineered Cpf1 protein in this system may have specific amino acid insertions or substitutions, maintaining high nuclease activity and sequence identity to known Cpf1 proteins. Overall, the patent application outlines a comprehensive approach to genome editing using Cpf1 proteins and associated nucleic acid molecules, potentially opening up new avenues for precise genetic modifications.
