Described are a genetically modified microorganism and corresponding methods and products. The genetically modified microorganism may include a first gene that encodes an acyl transferase and a second gene that encodes a peptide or protein. One or both of the first and second gene may be heterologous. The genetically modified microorganism may include a modified acyl-CoA biosynthetic pathway configured for one or more of: inducible biosynthesis of an acyl-CoA and over-accumulation of the acyl-CoA. The genetically modified microorganism may be effective upon fermentation to cause acylation of the peptide or protein by the acyl transferase using the acyl-CoA to provide a N-acylated peptide or protein product.

The present invention provides methods of administering long-acting Factor IX; methods of administering long-acting, chimeric and hybrid polypeptides comprising Factor IX; and methods of producing such chimeric and hybrid polypeptides using cells.

Chimeric clotting factors which localize the therapeutic to sites of coagulation (e.g., by being targeted to platelets or being activatable at sites of coagulation), have reduced clearance rates, have improved manufacturability, have reduced thrombogenicity, have enhanced activity, or have more than one of these characteristics are described as are methods for making chimeric clotting factors and methods for improving hemostasis using these clotting factors.

The invention relates to a chimeric monomer-dimer hybrid protein wherein the protein comprises a first and a second polypeptide chain, the first polypeptide chain comprising at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region and a biologically active molecule, and the second polypeptide chain comprising at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region without the biologically active molecule of the first chain. The invention also relates to methods of using and methods of making the chimeric monomer-dimer hybrid protein of the invention.

Sequences of a serotype 8 adeno-associated virus and vectors and host cells containing these sequences are provided. Also described are methods of using such host cells and vectors in production of rAAV particles.

The invention relates to a chimeric protein comprising at least one clotting factor and at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region. The invention relates to a method of treating a hemostatic disorder comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a chimeric protein wherein the chimeric protein comprises at least one clotting factor and at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region.

Provided herein are compositions, methods, and systems for targeted delivery of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA, to a target cell. Also provided are compositions, methods, and systems for expressing a transgene in a cell by genomic editing. Further provided are compositions, methods, and systems for knocking in a gene-of-interest (GOI) into a target genomic locus in the genome, in particular the locus of albumin gene. Also provided are compositions, methods, and systems for treating a subject having or suspected of having a disorder or health condition employing ex vivo and/or in vivo genome editing.

Disclosed are a modified FIX (Factor IX) polypeptide comprising a leucine, cysteine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, histidine, lysine, asparagine, glutamine or tyrosine in position 338; pharmaceutical preparations containing said modified FIX polypeptide; a nucleotide sequence coding for the modified FIX polypeptide; and a method for producing the modified FIX polypeptide.

Polypeptides comprising at least one carboxy-terminal peptide (CTP) of chorionic gonadotropin attached to the carboxy terminus but not to the amino terminus of a coagulation factor and polynucleotides encoding the same are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions and pharmaceutical formulations comprising the polypeptides and polynucleotides of the disclosure and methods of using and producing same are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a chimeric monomer-dimer hybrid protein wherein the protein comprises a first and a second polypeptide chain, the first polypeptide chain comprising at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region and a biologically active molecule, and the second polypeptide chain comprising at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region without the biologically active molecule of the first chain. The invention also relates to methods of using and methods of making the chimeric monomer-dimer hybrid protein of the invention.
