Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090048430Site specific protein modification - The present invention relates, in general, to protein modifications and, in particular, to a method of effecting site-specific labeling of proteins with covalently coupled reporter groups. The invention further relates to a method of effecting orientation-specific immobilization of proteins on a solid surface. The invention also relates to products produced by such methods.02-19-2009
20100071083TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT MEGANUCLEASE ACTIVITY - The invention relates to methods for the production of genetically modified plants using engineered meganucleases and elevated temperature and to genetically modified plants produced by such methods.03-18-2010
20100311817RATIONALLY-DESIGNED SINGLE-CHAIN MEGANUCLEASES WITH NON-PALINDROMIC RECOGNITION SEQUENCES - Disclosed are rationally-designed, non-naturally-occurring meganucleases in which a pair of enzyme subunits having specificity for different recognition sequence half-sites are joined into a single polypeptide to form a functional heterodimer with a non-palindromic recognition sequence. The invention also relates to methods of producing such meganucleases, and methods of producing recombinant nucleic acids and organisms using such meganucleases.12-09-2010
20110033935RATIONALLY-DESIGNED MEGANUCLEASES WITH RECOGNITION SEQUENCES FOUND IN DNASE HYPERSENSITIVE REGIONS OF THE HUMAN GENOME - Rationally-designed LAGLIDADG meganucleases and methods of making such meganucleases are provided. In addition, methods are provided for using the meganucleases to generate recombinant cells and organisms having a desired DNA sequence inserted into a limited number of loci within the genome, as well as methods of gene therapy, for treatment of pathogenic infections, and for in vitro applications in diagnostics and research.02-10-2011
20110123509FUSION MOLECULES OF RATIONALLY-DESIGNED DNA-BINDING PROTEINS AND EFFECTOR DOMAINS - Targeted transcriptional effectors (transcription activators and transcription repressors) derived from meganucleases are described. Also described are nucleic acids encoding same, and methods of using same to regulate gene expression. The targeted transcriptional effectors can comprise (i) a meganuclease DNA-binding domain lacking endonuclease cleavage activity that binds to a target recognition site; and (ii) a transcription effector domain.05-26-2011
20110202479RECOGNITION SEQUENCES FOR I-CREI-DERIVED MEGANUCLEASES AND USES THEREOF - Methods of cleaving double-stranded DNA that can be recognized and cleaved by a rationally-designed, I-CreI-derived meganuclease are provided. Also provided are recombinant nucleic acids, cells, and organisms containing such recombinant nucleic acids, as well as cells and organisms produced using such meganucleases. Also provided are methods of conducting a custom-designed, I-CreI-derived meganuclease business.08-18-2011
20120015406RATIONALLY-DESIGNED MEGANUCLEASES WITH ALTERED SEQUENCE SPECIFICITY AND DNA-BINDING AFFINITY - Rationally-designed LAGLIDADG meganucleases and methods of making such meganucleases are provided. In addition, methods are provided for using the meganucleases to generate recombinant cells and organisms having a desired DNA sequence inserted into a limited number of loci within the genome, as well as methods of gene therapy, for treatment of pathogenic infections, and for in vitro applications in diagnostics and research.01-19-2012
20120015421RATIONALLY-DESIGNED MEGANUCLEASES WITH ALTERED SEQUENCE SPECIFICITY AND DNA-BINDING AFFINITY - Rationally-designed LAGLIDADG meganucleases and methods of making such meganucleases are provided. In addition, methods are provided for using the meganucleases to generate recombinant cells and organisms having a desired DNA sequence inserted into a limited number of loci within the genome, as well as methods of gene therapy, for treatment of pathogenic infections, and for in vitro applications in diagnostics and research.01-19-2012
