DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS
(29) Among other things, the present disclosure recognizes that compositions, preparations, constructs, virions, population of virions, and host cells comprising a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide are particularly advantageous as a vehicle for gene therapy.
(30) First, due to a larger virion genome size, a protoparvovirus (5.3 kb (e.g., canine parvovirus) compared with 4.7 kb of AAV) can package a nucleic acid at least 0.6 kb greater than AAV, thereby allowing delivery of a therapeutic gene(s) whose size exceeds the capacity of AAV. A larger virion genome size also allows delivery of a therapeutic transgene(s) together with genomic safe harbor (GSH) sequences that accommodate site-specific recombination of the transgene(s) at a desired genomic location. Such site-specific recombination allows integration of the transgene at an inert location in the genome, as opposed to random integration that could disrupt an essential gene and its expression.
(31) Second, unlike AAV, protoparvovirus is not as prevalent as AAV. Thus, administration of a virion comprising a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide would not trigger an extensive anti-viral immune reaction that precludes efficient gene delivery. That is, in some embodiments, no prescreening of a subject for anti-parvovirus antibodies is required prior to administering (e.g., systemically) compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions), preparations, constructs, virions, population of virions described herein. Accordingly, a virion comprising a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide can achieve gene delivery with the efficiency unparalleled to AAV.
(32) Third, protoparvovirus has an extraordinary tropism for specific tissues. For example, protoparvovirus has a tropism for hematopoietic stem cells and is particularly useful for treatment or prevention of hematologic diseases such as hemoglobinopathies, anemia, myeloproliferative disorders, coagulopathies, and cancer. In addition, protoparvovirus can efficiently transcytose across the cells via its interaction with a transferrin receptor. Thus, protoparvovirus can cross a blood-brain barrier (BBB) and deliver therapeutic genes to nerve cells that are hidden behind an endothelial barrier (see, e.g.,
(33) Protoparvovirus capsid polypeptides comprise two main structural polypeptides, VP1, with an approximate MW of 81 KDa, and VP2 with an approximate MW of 58 to 62 KDa. In some embodiments, viral capsid polypeptide stoichiometry is VP1: VP2 (from about 1:10 to about 1:20, e.g., about 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, 1:13, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, 1:19, 1:20).
(34) For example, in some embodiments, the present disclosure recognizes that a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide (e.g., within a VP1 unique region (VP1u)) harbors amino acid residues that are useful for virion internalization. Moreover, among other things, the present disclosure recognizes that a protoparvovirus VP1 harbors amino acid motifs that are useful for transit to a cell nucleus. Additionally, among other things, the present disclosure recognizes that a protoparvovirus VP1 harbors amino acid motifs that are useful for productive virus infection. Moreover, among other things, the present disclosure recognizes that a protoparvovirus phospholipase A (PLA) motif allows for endosomal escape early during infection. For different protoparvovirus species, for example, a N-termini of a protoparvovirus VP1 also harbors stretches of basic amino acids that function as nuclear localization sites (also referred to as nuclear localization signals) (NLS) which can be recognized by importin proteins (alpha, and beta) in host cells. In some embodiments, recognition by importin proteins mediate nuclear delivery (Mantyla et al. 2020, Lyi et al. 2014, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety).
(35) For example, as described herein, in some embodiments, expression of protoparvovirus full capsid polypeptides (composed of VP1 and VP2) in baculovirus-Sf9 systems has been reported to be challenging, for example, due to cell toxicity. Without wishing to be bound to any theory, it is believed that cell toxicity is presumably a result of protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide retention in cell cytoplasm, ultimately resulting in protein aggregation and subsequent toxicity (Yuan et al. 2001, the contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Moreover, in some embodiments, differential phosphorylation of MVM capsid (VP1) by host Raf1 kinase led to VP1 capsid polypeptide retention in the cytoplasm (Riobolos et al. 2009, the contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Without wishing to be bound to any theory, it is believed that phosphorylation does not occur in insect cells due to a different sequence and structure from mammalian Raf1.
(36) Moreover, in some embodiments, the present disclosure recognizes splicing events found in a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide (e.g., within a VP1u) that eliminates five amino acid residues downstream of an NLS. It is an insight of the present disclosure that these five amino acid residues are conserved across protoparvovirus species. Surprisingly, in some embodiments, the present disclosure describes that this deletion resulted in significant improvement of protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide expression in a host cell. In some embodiments, a host cell is an insect cell. In some embodiments, an insect cell is a Sf9 cell. In some embodiments, a host cell is a mammalian cell.
(37) 1. Protoparvovirus
(38) Among other things, the present disclosure describes compositions, preparations, constructs, virions, population of virions, and host cells comprising a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide relative to a protoparvovirus reference VP1 capsid polypeptide. As described herein, protoparvovirus is of particular interest as a gene therapy composition. For example, neutralizing antibodies against human protoparvovirus, including bufavirus, tusavirus, and cutavirus have low prevalence in many Western countries (Vaisanen, Mohanraj et al. 2018, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). While circulation of human protoparvovirus, inferred by the prevalence of virus-specific antibodies, has shown to be greater than 50% in the Middle East or Africa, circulation in European countries and in the United States is strikingly low, varying between 0% and 5% (Vaisanen, Mohanraj et al. 2018, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). This is a feature that makes protoparvovirus particularly attractive for gene therapy as compared to AAV-derived vectors, which has a human IgG prevalence of 40-70%.
(39) Moreover, protoparvovirus has capacity to encapsulate and deliver a larger nucleic acid molecule as compared to AAV-derived vectors. For example, bufavirus can incorporate DNA molecules of 5.1 Kb, allowing design and delivery of genomes that encode larger proteins or contain cis-acting regulatory elements in these vectors (when compared to AAV), while tusavirus and cutavirus can incorporate a genome similar to AAV (4.6 Kb).
(40) Further, protoparvovirus can target certain cell types, tissues, and/or organs. Human bufavirus and tusavirus have been isolated from respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracks (or stool) in humans, and studies performed in non-human primates suggest that bufavirus can elicit a systemic infection (Vaisanen, Mohanraj et al. 2018, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). Accordingly, in some embodiments, bufavirus can be used for gene therapy targeting different human organs including but not limited to small intestine, liver, heart, lung, brain, and muscle. In addition, parvovirus capsid polypeptides can tolerate harsh environmental conditions such as low pH levels or physiological conditions found in stomach. Such tolerance makes a virion comprising a protoparvovirus capsid polypeptide(s) suitable for transducing cells of gastrointestinal track, including intestinal stem cells. The small intestine epithelium is organized into two fundamental structures: villi and crypts. Villi form functional absorptive units populated by a diverse group of differentiated cells, including enterocytes, goblet, enteroendocrine, tuft, and microfold cells. Each villus is supported by at least six invaginations, or crypts of Lieberkuhn (Clevers 2013, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). Crypts are occupied mainly by undifferentiated cells, including transit-amplifying cells; however, differentiated enteroendocrine and Paneth cells also reside in crypts. Wedged between Paneth cells are crypt base columnar cells, which maintain homeostasis through both self-renewal and continuous replacement of differentiated cells that are constantly turned-over. Targeting intestinal stem cells with a virion comprising a protoparvovirus variant capsid(s) of the present disclosure, therefore, opens a possibility to prevent or treat different GI related complications including hereditary hemochromatosis, or inflammatory bowel disease. Use of validated genomic safe harbors for targeting a transgene in intestinal stem cells is substantially beneficial for providing a long-term expression and avoiding any differentiation effect that is often associated with random genomic insertion.
(41) In some embodiments, a protoparvovirus is of a species selected from Carnivore protoparvovirus, Carnivore protoparvovirus 1, Chiropteran protoparvovirus 1, Eulipotyphla protoparvovirus 1, Primate protoparvovirus 1, Primate protoparvovirus 2, Primate protoparvovirus 3, Primate protoparvovirus 4, Rodent protoparvovirus 1, Rodent protoparvovirus 2, Rodent protoparvovirus 3, Ungulate protoparvovirus 1, and Ungulate protoparvovirus 2. In some embodiments, the protoparvovirus is selected from canine parvovirus, feline panleukopenia virus, human bufavirus 1, human bufavirus 2, human bufavirus 3, human tusavirus, human cutavirus, Wuharv parvovirus, porcine parvovirus, minute virus of mice, megabat bufavirus, and a genotypic variant thereof.

Among other things, a member of a genus protoparvovirus encodes an NS1 protein that has greater than 30% identity to an exemplary NS1 amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 4.

(53) Among other things, the present disclosure recognizes that members of a species within genus protoparvovirus can be characterized by encoding an NS1 protein that shares at least 85% identity with a NS1 protein encoded by other members of the species (Cotmore S. F., et al. Nov. 9, 2013, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). Among other things, the present disclosure recognizes that members of genus protoparvovirus are monophyletic.
(54) The present disclosure also recognizes that genomes of founder protoparvoviruses are distinctive because they contain many reiterations of a tetranucleotide sequence 5-TGGT-3 (or its complement 5-ACCA-3), which is a modular binding motif of the NS1 duplex DNA recognition site, generally depicted as (TGGT).sub.2-3 (Cotmore et al., 1995, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). Minute virus of mice NS1 recognizes variably spaced, tandem and inverted, clusters of TGGT motif, allowing it to bind to a wide variety of sequences distributed throughout replicative-form viral DNA. TGGT/ACCA tetranucleotide clusters are also dispersed throughout genomes of new viruses, suggesting significant biological similarities with founder members. For example, in a 4822 nt sequence of bufavirus 1a (human) (JX027296) there are 95 copies of ACCA or TGGT, while in a 4452 nt sequence of a melanoma-associated human cutavirus (KX685945) there are 105 separate copies.
(55) b. Virions
(56) Among other things, the present disclosure describes a virion comprising a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide comprising at least one sequence variation relative to a protoparvovirus reference VP1 capsid polypeptide. In some embodiments, a virion comprises a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide and a heterologous nucleic acid sequence.
(57) X-ray reconstructions indicate that first ordered VP residues in protoparvovirus capsid polypeptides are located inside a particle at a base of the 5-fold pore, leaving unresolved VP1 and VP2 N-termini of 180 and 37 residues, respectively (Halder et al., 2013, Agbandje-McKenna et al., 1998, Xie and Chapman 1996, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). A C-terminal region of this unresolved sequence forms a slender glycine-rich chain, present in both VP1 and VP2, which in minute virus of mice (MVM) variant VLPs can be modeled into claw-like densities positioned inside the capsid below the 5-fold channels in some cryoEM reconstructions (Subramanian et al., 2017, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). However, in X-ray structures of MVM virions, but not empty particles, a first 10 amino acids from a single copy of this sequence (VP2 G37-G28) can be modeled into submolar density that occupies a central pore of most 5-fold cylinders. Although all VP1 and VP2 N-terminal peptides are sequestered in empty particles, a subset of MVM VP2 N-termini become exposed at a virion surface early during genome encapsidation (Cotmore and Tattersall 2005, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein), presumably via a poorly understood conformational shift that involves expansion of the 5-fold cylinders. These externalized VP2 N-termini contain a nuclear export signal (Maroto et al., 2004, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein) that in some cells effectively converts a trafficking-neutral capsid into a nuclear export-competent particle. Virions are released from infected cells in this form (Cotmore and Tattersall 2005, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein), but both in an extracellular environment and during cell entry, exposed N-termini undergo proteolytic cleavage, which removes 25 amino acids and converts VP2 to a form called VP3. Because X-ray structures show slightly less than one polyglycine tract threaded through each cylinder, it is significant that 90% of the 50 MVM VP2 termini eventually become surface exposed and cleaved. X-ray structures of cleaved, predominantly VP3, virions indicate that this proteolysis allows the polyglycine tract of cleaved proteins to be retracted into the capsid interior, where it folds back and assumes additional icosahedral ordering extending to residue G30, while being replaced in cylinders by a new cluster of VP2 N-termini (Govindasamy L, Gurda B L, Halder S, Van Vliet K, McKenna R, Cotmore S F, Tattersall P, Agbandje-McKenna M. 2010, unpublished observations). Externalized VP2 N-termini also serve an important structural role, stabilizing the cylinders prior to cell entry and preventing premature exposure of VP1 N-termini and ultimately the genome (Cotmore and Tattersall 2012). Thus, in members of genus Protoparvovirus, 5-fold cylinders serve as portals for three different forms of cargo, mediating 1) genome translocation into and out of an intact particle, 2) VP1SR extrusion prior to bilayer transit, and 3) early externalization of some VP2 N-termini concomitant with genome encapsidation. This is in sharp contrast to viruses in many other parvovirus genera, which rely on just one or two of these portal functions.
(58) A second distinctive feature of protoparvovirus virions is that in X-ray structures not only is a capsid icosahedrally ordered, but so is 11-34% of the single-stranded DNA genome, forming patches in each asymmetric unit that are positioned below a cavity on an interior capsid surface. This ordered DNA comprises 2-3 short (8-11 nt) single-strands, which adopt an inverted-loop configuration with phosphates chelated in interior by two Mg++ ions while bases point outwards towards a capsid shell where they establish non-covalent interactions with specific amino acid side chains (Halder et al., 2013, Agbandje-McKenna et al., 1998, Chapman and Rossmann 1995, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). For example, atomic force microscopy has been used to probe rigidity of individual MVM particles along their 5-fold, 3-fold and 2-fold symmetry axes, which showed that in empty particles, but not in DNA-containing virions, two-fold axes can be easily distorted by nanoindentation, suggesting that a genome has a major influence on capsid rigidity of this region (Carrasco et al., 2006, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). Single alanine mutations that did not compromise intracapsid interactions but did disrupt major interactions between a capsid and bound DNA patches, had no effect on empty particles but abrogated a genome-enhanced 2-fold rigidity seen in full particles, indicating that it derives predominantly from these ordered DNA: capsid interactions (Carrasco et al., 2008, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). This perhaps indicates an importance of a full-length, 5 kb genome in establishing wild-type capsid dynamics, as also suggested by in vitro uncoating studies (Cotmore et al., 2010, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein).
(59) c. Genome Organization and Replication
(60) Protoparvoviruses have heterotelomeric genomes of around 5 kb, flanked by hairpin telomeres of 120 nt at their left-end, generally in a single sequence orientation, while a right-end hairpin is 250 nt and can be present as either of two inverted-complementary sequences dubbed flip and flop. Right-end of protoparvovirus genomes can be excised from replication intermediates in a hairpin configuration by hairpin transfer, which in MVM involves binding of NS1 complexes to two separate clusters of (TGGT).sub.2-3 binding sites, one that positions NS1 over a cleavage site (5-CTATCA-3) and a second that is 120 bp away, at a hairpin axis. For cleavage to occur, NS1 complexes at these two sites must be coordinated, and a origin refolded, by recruiting DNA bending proteins from a host HMGB family, which bind to NS1 and create an essential 30 bp double-helical loop in the intervening G-rich origin DNA (Cotmore et al., 2000, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein).
(61) In contrast, origin sequences generated from a left end of this virus are not cleaved in a hairpin configuration because there is a critical TC/GAA mismatch in a hairpin stem. To create an active origin, a left hairpin must be unfolded and copied to form a base-paired junction region that spans adjacent genomes in dimer RF, in which two arms of a hairpin are effectively segregated on either side of a symmetry axis. However, only a TC arm gives rise to an active origin because a dinucleotide serves as a spacer element that is positioned between a NS1 binding site and a binding site for an essential co-factor, called parvovirus initiation factor (PIF, also known as glucocorticoid modulatory element binding protein GMEB). PIF is a heterodimeric host complex that binds to two spaced 5-ACGT-3 half sites positioned near an axis of a DNA palindrome. In an active origin, PIF is able to interact with NS1 across a TC dinucleotide, stabilizing its binding to a relatively weak NS1 binding site, but it cannot stabilize NS1 binding to an identical binding site across a GAA trinucleotide in an inactive (GAA) arm (Christensen et al., 2001, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). In consequence, sequences in the hairpin configuration or perfectly-duplex hairpin arms carrying a GAA sequence are not cleaved, making them potentially available for alternative roles such as driving transcription from an adjacent P4 promoter (Gu et al., 1995, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). Due to major disparities in cleavage efficiency between a left- and right-end origins, progeny negative-sense single-strands are preferentially displaced from a right end of a genome, with the result that protoparvoviruses typically displace and package predominantly (99%) negative-sense progeny ssDNA.
(62) Viruses in this genus use two transcriptional promoters at map units (mu) 4 and 38, and a single polyadenylation site corresponding to mu 95, to create 3 major size classes of mRNAs, all of which have a short intron sequence between 46-48 mu removed (Pintel et al., 1983, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). In MVM this splice has alternative donors (D1 and D2) and acceptors (A1 and A2) of different strengths, which are positioned within a region of 120 nt so that a potential D2:A1 splice is eliminated by minimal intron size constraints. Splicing therefore creates 3 forms of each mRNA size class that are expressed with different stoichiometry (Haut and Pintel 1999, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). Transcripts arising from P4 that have just this central intron removed encode a single form of NS1, translation of which terminates upstream of D1. In some P4 transcripts however, a second, long intron between 10-40 mu is also excised, creating mRNAs that encode NS2 proteins of 25 kDa. These share 85 amino acids of N-terminal sequence with NS1, but are then spliced into a different reading frame and finally reach a short central intron where 2 disparate C-terminal hexapeptides can be added. This generates variants called NS2P and NS2Y that are expressed in a 5:1 ratio. P38 transcription is strongly transactivated by the C-terminal domain of NS1, mediated by NS1 binding to upstream 5-TGGT-3 repeat sequences (Christensen et al., 1995, Lorson et al., 1996, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Alternative splicing at a short intron also causes two size variants of a capsid polypeptide to be expressed with 1:5 stoichiometry, with VP1 (83 kDa) initiating at an ATG codon positioned between the two acceptor sites while VP2 (64 kDa) initiates downstream of the splice.
(63) During infection, newly synthesized capsid polypeptides assemble as two types of trimers (VP2-only and 1VP1+2VP2) in the cytoplasm, and are transported into the nucleus for capsid-assembly using a non-conventional, structure-dependent trafficking motif (Lombardo et al., 2000). However, this translocation is restricted to S-phase (Gil-Ranedo et al., 2015, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety), and is dependent upon trimer phosphorylation by the cellular Raf-1 kinase (Riolobos et al., 2010, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety).
(64) Ancillary polypeptides encoded by protoparvoviruses include the NS2 variants, which appear to have multiple functions that are mostly mediated by interactions with host proteins, and a small alternatively translated (SAT) protein (Zdori et al., 2005, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). MVM NS2 is not essential in transformed human cell lines, but its absence in murine cells leads to rapid cessation of duplex DNA amplification early in the infectious cycle by an unknown mechanism (Naeger et al., 1990, Ruiz et al., 2006, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). This early defect can be abrogated by relatively low levels of NS2 expression, but much higher levels of NS2 are required later in a cycle to enable efficient capsid assembly (Cotmore et al., 1997, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety), which is a pre-requisite for the subsequent accumulation of progeny DNA single-strands, and for virion release. In a late capsid defect, VP polypeptides are expressed, but most fail to assemble into capsid polypeptides and are rapidly degraded, perhaps reflecting inadequacies in nuclear translocation of precursor subunits linked to a severe dislocation in normal nuclear/cytoplasmic protein trafficking, as discussed below. During MVM infection NS2 associates with proteins from a cellular 14-3-3 family (Brockhaus et al., 1996, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety) and with the nuclear export factor CRM1 (Bodendorf et al., 1999, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Significantly, a NS2 nuclear export signal (NES) engages CRM1 with supraphysiological affinity, which is independent of presence of RanGTP and thus can potentially resist cytoplasmic release (Engelsma et al., 2008, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). During wildtype MVM infection CRM1 can be detected in perinuclear cytoplasm, but this redistribution is exacerbated in infections with mutant viruses that carry point mutations close to the NS2 NES that cause CRM1 to bind at even higher affinity (Lpez-Bueno et al., 2004, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). These mutations also accelerate onset of a late step in infection, which is characterized by a cytoplasmic accumulation of large, typically nuclear structures including NS1 and empty capsid polypeptides, again suggesting major disruptions in normal nuclear/cytoplasmic trafficking pathways. Following transfection into A9 fibroblasts, wildtype MVMi genomes express low levels of NS2, but when genomes were engineered to express one of a NS2-NES mutations, resulting low levels of mutant NS2 were able to drive wildtype levels of virus progeny accumulation, confirming that cumulative late infection blocks seen in cells expressing insufficient NS2 result from a stoichiometric limitation of NS2: CRM1 interactions (Choi et al., 2005, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Studies with mutant viruses in which NS2: CRM1 binding was impaired, rather than enhanced, similarly indicate that during infection this interaction is required for the efficient release of virions (Eichwald et al., 2002, Miller and Pintel 2002, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety).
(65) A second protoparvovirus ancillary polypeptide, SAT, is encoded within a capsid gene and is expressed late, from the same mRNA as VP2. SAT accumulates in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of a infected cell (Zdori et al., 2005, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Like NS2, it enhances the rate at which virus spreads through cultures but it acts via a different mechanism that involves induction of irreversible ER-stress and is linked to enhanced cell necrosis (Mszros et al., 2017b, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Although both SAT and a dependoparvovirus ancillary polypeptide, AAP, occupy similar positions in a capsid gene and contain essential N-terminal hydrophobic domains, these polypeptides are not known to exhibit functional homology. Thus, in protoparvoviruses early virion export is a distinctive feature that can be driven by multiple mechanisms, either occurring prior to cell lysis and mediated by VP2 signals or Crm1 interactions that vary with cell type, or linked to enhanced cell necrosis and driven by SAT. During export, some virions can be internalized in COPII vesicles in a endoplasmic reticulum and undergo gelsolin-dependent trafficking to a Golgi, where they undergo tyrosine phosphorylation, and perhaps by other modifications that enhance their subsequent particle-to-infectivity ratios (Br et al., 2008, Br et al., 2013, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Release at early times in a cycle allows infection to spread rapidly, potentially enhancing overall progeny production from infected tissues and prior to accumulation of neutralizing antibodies.
(66) d. Exemplary Protoparvovirus
(67) Among other things, the present disclosure provides exemplary protoparvovirus that can be used in accordance with embodiments described herein.
(68) Exemplary Protoparvovirus species include human bufavirus genotypes 1, 2 and 3, human tusavirus, human cutavirus, canine parvovirus, porcine parvovirus, minute virus of mice and megabat bufavirus (see also Table 1 for nomenclature designated by International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV); world wide web at talk.ictvonline.org/taxonomy/, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein).
(69) i. Kilham Rat Virus (KRV) and Minute Virus of Mice (MVM)
(70) Kilham rat virus (KRV), one of the original viruses used to establish family Parvoviridae, was isolated in 1959 from lysates of an experimental rat tumor (Kilham and Olivier 1959, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Over the next decade, a succession of similar single-stranded DNA viruses were discovered in transplantable tumors, tissue culture cell lines, or laboratory stocks of other viruses. Some of these, such as MVM, closely resemble viruses now known to infect wild rodents, while other members of the same species (Rodent protoparvovirus 1), such as LuIII (M81888), appear to be distant recombinants of viruses found in nature. Studied extensively in the intervening years, these viruses have served as important model systems for defining the basic characteristics and underlying biology of the family. In rodents, viruses from species Rodent protoparvovirus 1 exhibit a range of pathologies, from asymptomatic viremia to teratogenesis and fetal or neonatal cell death. While these viruses fail to infect normal human cells, host restrictions are often relaxed when human cells undergo oncogenic transformation, allowing viruses to become preferentially oncolytic, and suggesting their potential for use in clinical cancer virotherapy. To this end, Phase I/IIa clinical trials were recently completed using virus H-1 (X01457) to target advanced glioblastoma, which provided evidence that a virus was well tolerated and could partially disrupt the local immune suppression commonly associated with cancer (Geletneky et al., 2017, Angelova et al., 2017, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety).
(71) In some cells parvovirus infection results in delayed but significant type 1 IFN release, whereas pretreatment with exogenous IFN-beta strongly inhibits the viral life cycle (Grekova et al., 2010, Mattei et al., 2013, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). During MVMp infection of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) the IFN response did not involve mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) and RIG-I sensing and did not conspicuously inhibit viral DNA replication (Mattei et al., 2013), although pretreatment of cells with IFN-beta-neutralizing antibody did enhance infection in another study (Grekova et al., 2010, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). However, infected MEFs become unresponsive to Poly (I:C) stimulation, suggesting that a virus is able to inactivate antiviral immune mechanisms elicited by type I IFNs.
(72) ii. Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV)
(73) Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is also known as feline parvovirus, and is closely related to mink and raccoon parvoviruses, which have existed for over 100 years, and canine parvovirus (CPV), which arose as a variant in the mid-1970s and in 1978 spread worldwide, causing a disease pandemic among dogs, wolves and coyotes. These variants all belong to a single species, Carnivore protoparvovirus 1. In adult animals, viruses in this species predominantly infect lymphoid tissues, leading to leukopenia or lymphopenia, and intestinal epithelia, resulting in severe diarrhea, dehydration and fever. In contrast, infection of neonates is characterized by cerebellar lesions in kittens or ferrets, potentially leading to ataxia, or by myocarditis in puppies. Disease is well controlled by vaccination, but mortality in affected litters varies between 20 and 100 percent (reviewed in (Kailasan et al., 2015a, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety)).
(74) iii. Porcine Parvovirus (PPV)
(75) Porcine parvovirus (PPV), a member of the species Ungulate protoparvovirus 1, is a major cause of fetal death and infertility in pigs worldwide, although PPV infection alone rarely causes disease in non-pregnant pigs or piglets. However, when seronegative pregnant sows are exposed to a virulent PPV strain during first 70 days of gestation, transplacental infection can lead to a syndrome called SMEDI (stillbirths, mummification, embryonic death, and infertility) (Mszros et al., 2017a, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Weakly pathogenic and vaccine strains of PPV exist (e.g., NADL-2), which are lethal if injected into amniotic fluid but they do not cross a placental barrier as efficiently as pathogenic strains (e.g., Kresse), so disease is rare. Widespread vaccination programs are in place to prevent SMEDI, but some newly emerging virulent PPV variants cannot be neutralized by antibodies raised by exposure to current vaccine strains (Mszros et al., 2017a, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Co-infection with PPV can also potentiate the effect of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2, Porcine circovirus 2, family Circoviridae) in the development of post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS).
(76) iv. Bufavirus (BuV)
(77) Most newly discovered viruses segregate to species in a new branch of the Protoparvovirus tree, established for bufavirus 1a (human). Two genotypes of this virus, BuV1 and BuV2, were identified in 2012 in viral metagenomic analysis of fecal samples from diarrheic children in Burkina Faso and Tunisia (hence the name bufavirus) (Phan et al., 2012, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety), while a third genotype, BuV3, was later discovered in the diarrheal feces of Bhutanese children (Yahiro et al., 2014, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). To date, BuV DNA has been detected in diarrhea of children from Burkina Faso, Tunisia, Bhutan, Thailand, Turkey, China, and Finland, and of adults from Finland, the Netherlands, Thailand, and China, but has not been found in non-diarrheal feces, suggesting a causal relationship (Visnen et al., 2017, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). When analyzed for the presence of anti-BuV1 capsid IgG, the seroprevalences of adults from Finland and the USA were low (2-4%), but much higher rates were found for adults in Iraq (85%), Iran (56%) and Kenya (72%) (Visnen et al., 2018, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety).
(78) v. Cutavirus (CuV)
(79) A second human protoparvovirus in a bufavirus branch, called cutavirus (CuV), was detected in a small number of diarrheal samples from Brazilian and Botswanan children, and in four French skin biopsies of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, from which the virus derives its name (Phan et al., 2016, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety), and in malignant skin lesions from a Danish melanoma patient (Mollerup et al., 2017). Etiological significance of CuV in human disease has yet to be determined.
(80) Prevalence rates for IgG against CuV were evenly low (0- 6%) in the same sample series mentioned above for bufavirus, confirming that CuV is widely distributed through human populations (Visnen et al., 2018, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). In contrast, IgG directed against a third new, as yet unclassified protoparvovirus that was detected in a Tunisian human fecal sample (hence tusavirus, TuV) (Phan et al., 2014) was not present in the same panels of sera, and its DNA has yet to be detected in other fecal samples (Visnen et al., 2017, Visnen et al., 2018, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety), so evidence for TuV being a human virus is thus, so far, insufficient. It segregates phylogenetically with viruses occupying the original branch of the protoparvovirus phylogenetic tree, discussed previously.
(81) vi. Canine Parvovirus (CPV)
(82) Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a well-studied species of protoparvovirus. CPV infects wild and domestic dogs. CPV has a genome size of 5.3 kb, 600 bp larger than AAV. The large genome makes CPV particularly attractive for the transfer of genes in human cells that cannot be accommodated in AAV derived vectors. Because CPV does not normally infect humans, there is no humoral immunity pre-existing against CPV in human population, i.e., humans are seronegative for CPV capsid antigens. This is in stark contrast to AAV; humans are seropositive for AAV capsid antigen such that presence of neutralizing AAV antibodies excludes a large percentage of patients eligible for AAV gene therapy. Therefore, a lack of neutralizing antibodies against CPV antigen in humans makes the CPV viral particles, or a virion comprising a capsid polypeptide of CPV or a variant thereof, particularly useful for highly potent gene therapy applications to prevent or treat different human genetic diseases that cannot be treated efficiently with AAV-derived vectors. Without wishing to be bound to any theory, CPV uses a canine transferrin receptor (TfR or CD71) as a cellular receptor to enter the cell, a protein expressed in the external membrane of a canine host cells (Goodman, Lyi et al. 2010). CPV also can interact with a human TfR counterpart and therefore internalize and transduce human cells. In addition, as described above, a VP2 capsid polypeptide of CPV can be engineered to comprise at least one sequence variation that alter tropism and the specificity/affinity of target cell interaction and eventually the efficiency of target cell transduction.

e. Genotypic Variants of Viruses
(84) An ordinarily skilled artisan appreciates that a species of virus comprises clusters of genetic variants (Van Regenmortel MHV (2000) Virus Taxonomy-Seventh Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses). Genetic variants may comprise mutations (that encompasses point mutations and insertions-deletions of different lengths), hypermutations, several types of recombination, and genome segment reassortments. Mutation is observed in all viruses, with no known exceptions (Domingo (2019) Virus as Populations 2020:35-71). Recombination is also widespread, and its occurrence was soon accepted for DNA viruses as well as RNA viruses. Genome segment reassortment, a type of variation close to chromosomal exchanges in sexual reproduction, is an adaptive asset of segmented viral genomes, as continuously evidenced by the ongoing evolution of the influenza viruses. Three modes of virus genome variation are compatible, and reassortant-recombinant-mutant genomes are continuously arising in present-day viruses.
(85) Accordingly, a genetic variant of viruses described herein may comprise a polypeptide described herein or those belonging to a virus or virion described herein (e.g., a capsid polypeptide (e.g., VP1 capsid polypeptide, VP2 capsid polypeptide, or variant thereof), NS1 polypeptide, etc.) with a polypeptide sequence that is at least, about, or no more than 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%, or 100% identical to a polypeptide sequence of the exemplary sequences presented herein or a polypeptide sequence of the polypeptide of exemplary viruses referenced herein.
(86) f. Marker and/or Reporter Genes
(87) Exemplary marker genes include but not limited to any of fluorescent reporter genes, e.g., GFP, RFP and the like, as well as bioluminescence reporter genes. Exemplary marker genes include, but are not limited to, glutathione-S-transferase (GST), horseradish peroxidase (HRP), chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, luciferase, green fluorescent proteins (e.g., GFP, GFP-2, tagGFP, turboGFP, sfGFP, EGFP, Emerald, Azami Green, Monomeric Azami Green, CopGFP, AceGFP, ZsGreenl), HcRed, DsRed, cyan fluo-rescent protein (CFP), yellow fluorescent proteins (e.g., YFP, EYFP, Citrine, Venus YPet, PhiYFP, ZsYellowl), cyan fluorescent proteins (e.g., ECFP, Cerulean, CyPet AmCyanl, Midoriishi-Cyan) red fluorescent proteins (e.g., mKate, mKate2, mPlum, DsRed monomer, mCherry, mRFPI, DsRed-Express, DsRed2, HcRed-Tandem, HcRed 1, AsRed2, eqFP6l 1, mRaspberry, mStrawberry, Jred), orange fluorescent proteins (e.g., mOrange, mKO, Kusabira-Orange, monomeric Kusabira-Orange, mTangerine, tdTomato) and autofluorescent proteins including blue fluorescent protein (BFP).
(88) Marker genes may also include, without limitation, DNA sequences encoding -lactamase, -galactosidase (LacZ), alkaline phosphatase, thymidine kinase, green fluorescent protein (GFP), chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT), luciferase, and others well known in the art. When associated with regulatory elements which drive their expression, the reporter sequences, provide signals detectable by conventional means, including enzymatic, radiographic, colorimetric, fluorescence or other spectrographic assays, fluorescent activating cell sorting assays and immunological assays, including enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunohistochemistry. For example, where a marker sequence is the LacZ gene, a presence of a construct carrying a signal is detected by assays for -galactosidase activity. In some embodiments, where a marker gene is green fluorescent protein or luciferase, a construct carrying a signal may be measured colorimetrically based on visible light absorbance or light production in a luminometer, respectively. Such reporters can, for example, be useful in verifying tissue-specific targeting capabilities and tissue specific promoter regulatory activity(ies) of a nucleic acid.
(89) Marker genes include, but are not limited to, sequences encoding proteins that mediate antibiotic resistance (e.g., ampicillin resistance, neomycin resistance, G418 resistance, puromycin resistance), sequences encoding colored or fluorescent or luminescent proteins (e.g., green fluorescent protein, enhanced green fluorescent protein, red fluorescent protein, luciferase), and proteins which mediate cellular metabolism resulting in enhanced cell growth rates and/or gene amplification (e.g., dihydrofolate reductase).

(98) Among other things, the present disclosure provides polynucleotides, e.g., polynucleotides comprising a VP1 capsid coding sequence operably linked to an expression control sequence, wherein the VP1 capsid coding sequence encodes a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide. The present disclosure also provides methods utilizing such polynucleotides, e.g., in a composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition).
(99) In some embodiments, a polynucleotide of the present disclosure may be or comprise DNA or RNA. In some embodiments, DNA can be genomic DNA or cDNA. In some embodiments, RNA can be an mRNA, an miRNA, a shRNA/siRNA, a gRNA, etc.
(100) In some embodiments, a gene product is expressed from a polynucleotide comprising a VP1 capsid coding sequence operably linked to an expression control sequence, wherein the coding sequence encodes a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide. In some embodiments, expression of such a polynucleotide can utilize one or more control elements (e.g., promoters, enhancers, splice sites, polyadenylation sites, translation initiation sites, etc.). Thus, in some embodiments, a polynucleotide provided herein can comprise one or more control elements.
(101) In some embodiments, a VP1 gene is a protoparvovirus VP1 gene. In some embodiments, a protoparvovirus VP1 gene is a bufavirus VP1 gene as described herein.

Among other things, in some embodiments, the present disclosure describes exemplary constructs that have been engineered (e.g., see Exemplary Variant VP1 Capsid Sequences, see also, e.g., Table 4) to reduce toxicity of protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide in a host cell.
(104) One skilled in the art would appreciate that a change (e.g., substitution, addition, deletion, etc.) of amino acids that are not conserved between a same polypeptide from different species is less likely to have an effect on the function of a protein and therefore, these amino acids should be selected for mutation. Amino acids that are conserved between a same polypeptide from different species should not be changed (e.g., deleted, added, substituted, etc.), as these mutations are more likely to result in a change in function of a polypeptide.
(105) In some embodiments, a polynucleotide in accordance with the present disclosure comprises a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide that is at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to a sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 103-110.

In some embodiments, insertion of one or more heterologous peptides is at one or more residues of a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide that map(s) onto a structural overlay of one or more residues within a variable region (e.g., VR (e.g., VR-IV, VR-V, VR-VIII)) of a parvovirus VP1 capsid (e.g., AAV capsid, e.g., AAV2 capsid, e.g., AAV5 capsid, e.g., AAV8 capsid, e.g., AAV9 capsid, or any variant thereof). In some embodiments, a heterologous peptide comprises or is a heterologous targeting peptide.
(115) AAV VRs differ between serotypes and are responsible for serotype-specific variations in antibody and receptor binding (see Tseng and Agbandje-McKenna, 2014, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein).

ii. Exemplary Variant VP 1 Capsid Sequences
(144) In some embodiments, constructs, compositions, virions, or populations of virions comprise a VP1 capsid coding sequence that encodes a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide. In some embodiments, a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide is encoded by a VP1 capsid coding sequence with at least 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or 99% sequence identity to a VP1 capsid coding sequence described herein. In some embodiments, a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid comprises a polypeptide with at least 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or 99% sequence identity to a polypeptide of a sequence described herein. In some embodiments, constructs described herein comprise fewer ATG sequence(s) across the length of a VP1 capsid coding sequence (e.g., in frame or out of frame) that encodes a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide. In some embodiments, constructs described herein comprise fewer ATG sequence(s) across the length of a VP1 capsid coding sequence (e.g., in frame or out of frame) that encodes a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide due to a substitution in one or more of ATG relative to a protoparvovirus reference VP1 capsid coding sequence described herein. In some embodiments, constructs described herein comprise fewer ATG sequence(s) across the length of a VP1 capsid coding sequence (e.g., in frame or out of frame) that encodes a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide due to a deletion in one or more of ATG relative to a protoparvovirus reference VP1 capsid coding sequence described herein. In some embodiments, constructs described herein comprise fewer ATG sequence(s) across the length of a VP1 capsid coding sequence (e.g., in frame or out of frame, e.g., at position 3 or +4 relative to the first position of a VP1 capsid coding sequence) that encodes a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide due to a conservative amino acid substitution in one or more of ATG relative to a protoparvovirus reference VP1 capsid coding sequence described herein. In some embodiments, constructs described herein comprise fewer ATG sequence(s) across the length of a VP1 capsid coding sequence (e.g., in frame or out of frame, e.g., at position 3 or +4 relative to the first position of a VP1 capsid coding sequence) that encodes a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide due to a conservative amino acid substitution of one or more nucleotides surrounding an ATG (e.g., a conservative amino acid substitution within a Kozak consensus sequence) relative to a protoparvovirus reference VP1 capsid coding sequence described herein. In some embodiments, constructs described herein comprise fewer ATG sequence(s) across the length of a VP1 capsid coding sequence (e.g., in frame or out of frame) that encodes a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide due to a conservative amino acid substitution of one or more purines surrounding an ATG (e.g., at position 3 or +4 relative to the first position of a VP1 capsid coding sequence, e.g., a conservative amino acid substitution within a Kozak consensus sequence) relative to a protoparvovirus reference VP1 capsid coding sequence described herein. In some embodiments, constructs described herein comprise an alternative translation initiation sequence (e.g., CTG, TTG, ACG, ATC) to improve potency relative to constructs comprising an ATG initiation sequence.
(145) In some embodiments, a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polynucleotide comprises a VP1 capsid coding sequence that is at least about 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%, or 100% identical to a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 97-102.
(146) In some embodiments, a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide comprises a polypeptide sequence that is at least about 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%, or 100% identical to a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 103-110.

v. Untranslated Regions (UTRs)
(199) In some embodiments, any constructs described herein can include one or more untranslated regions. In some embodiments, a construct can include a 5 UTR and/or a 3 UTR sequence. In some embodiments, if more than one UTR is present, UTRs may come from a single gene or more than one gene.
(200) As is understood by those of skill in the art, an untranslated region (UTR) of a gene is transcribed but not translated. In some embodiments, a 5 UTR sequence starts at a transcription start site and continues to a translation initiation sequence but does not include that translation initiation sequence. In some embodiments, a 3 UTR starts immediately following a stop codon and continues until a transcriptional termination signal. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, there is a growing body of evidence regarding regulatory roles played by UTRs in terms of stability of nucleic acid molecule and translation. In some embodiments, regulatory features of a UTR can be incorporated into any technologies (e.g., constructs, compositions, kits, or methods) as described herein to, e.g., enhance stability of a protein.
(201) For example, in some embodiments, a 5 UTR sequence is included in any constructs described herein. Non-limiting examples of 5 UTR sequences including those from the following genes: albumin, serum amyloid A, Apolipoprotein A/B/E, transferrin, alpha fetoprotein, erythropoietin, and Factor VIII, can be used to enhance expression of a nucleic acid molecule, such as a mRNA. In some embodiments, 5 UTR sequences have also been known, e.g., to form secondary structures that are involved in elongation factor binding.
(202) In some embodiments, a 5 UTR sequence from an mRNA that is transcribed by a cell can be included in any technologies (e.g., constructs, compositions, kits, and methods) described herein.
(203) Among other things, the present example recognizes that selection of a 5 UTR sequence can improve production of a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide. Among other things, the present example recognizes that selection of a 5 UTR sequence can reduce toxicity of a VP1 capsid polypeptide. In some embodiments, a 5UTR is a stretch of nucleotides between an expression control sequence and a VP1 capsid coding sequence (referred to herein as a nucleotide spacer sequence).
(204) In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 1 nucleotide. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 5 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 10 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 20 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 30 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 40 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 50 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 60 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 70 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 80 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 90 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length of about 100 nucleotides.
(205) In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 1 to about 100 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 1 to about 75 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 10 to about 100 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 1 to about 50 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 1 to about 60 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 30 to about 60 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 1 to about 80 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 1 to about 55 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 10 to about 70 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 1 to about 90 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 1 to about 65 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 45 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 20 to about 80 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 1 to about 75 nucleotides. In some embodiments, a nucleotide spacer sequence has a length from about 40 to about 80 nucleotides.
(206) In some embodiments, there is no nucleotide spacer sequence.
(207) In some embodiments, a 5 UTR sequence comprises a viral 5UTR sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 122. In some embodiments, a 5 UTR sequence comprises a nucleotide spacer sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 123. In some embodiments, a 5 UTR sequence comprises a nucleotide spacer sequence that does not comprise an alternative translation initiation sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 124.

(209) In some embodiments, 3 UTRs are known to have stretches of adenosines and uridines embedded in them. These AU-rich signatures are particularly prevalent in genes with high rates of turnover. Based on their sequence features and functional properties, AU-rich elements (AREs) can be separated into three classes (Chen et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 15:5777-5788, 1995; Chen et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 15:2010-2018, 1995, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference): Class I AREs contain several dispersed copies of an AUUUA motif within U-rich regions. For example, c-Myc and MyOD mRNAs contain class I AREs. Class II AREs possess two or more overlapping UUAUUUA(U/A)(U/A) nonamers. GM-CSF and TNF-alpha mRNAs are examples that contain class II AREs. Class III AREs are less well defined. These U-rich regions do not contain an AUUUA motif. Two well-studied examples of this class are c-Jun and myogenin mRNAs.
(210) Most proteins binding to AREs are known to destabilize a messenger, whereas members of the ELAV family, most notably HuR, have been documented to increase stability of mRNA. HuR binds to AREs of all three classes. Engineering HuR specific binding sites into a 3 UTR of nucleic acid molecules will lead to HuR binding and thus, stabilization of a message in vivo.
(211) In some embodiments, introduction, removal, or modification of 3 UTR AREs can be used to modulate stability of an mRNA encoding a protein. In some embodiments, AREs can be removed or mutated to increase intracellular stability and thus increase translation and production of a protein.
(212) In some embodiments, a UTR sequence is at least 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or 99% identical to any UTR sequence disclosed herein (e.g., SEQ ID NOs: 122-124)
(213) vi. Kozak Consensus Sequences
(214) In some embodiments, a construct of the present disclosure comprises one or more Kozak consensus sequences (also herein to as Kozak consensus sequences). In some embodiments, natural 5 UTRs include a sequence that plays a role in translation initiation. For example, in some embodiments, they harbor signatures like Kozak sequences, which are commonly known to be involved in a process by which a ribosome initiates translation of many genes. Kozak sequences generally have a consensus sequence CCR(A/G)CCATGG, where R is a purine (A or G) three bases upstream of a translation initiation sequence (ATG), which is followed by another G. In some embodiments, Kozak sequences may be included in synthetic or additional sequence elements, such as cloning sites.
(215) vii. Polyadenylation Sequences
(216) In some embodiments, a construct of the present disclosure may comprise at least one poly(A) sequence. Most nascent eukaryotic mRNA possesses a poly(A) tail at its 3 end which is added during a complex process that includes cleavage of a primary transcript and a coupled polyadenylation reaction (see, e.g., Proudfoot et al., Cell 108:501-512, 2002, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). A poly(A) tail confers mRNA stability and transferability (see, e.g., Molecular Biology of the Cell, Third Edition by B. Alberts et al., Garland Publishing, 1994, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). In some embodiments, a poly(A) sequence is positioned 3 to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a transgene. In some embodiments, a poly(A) sequence is positioned 3 to a VP1 capsid coding sequence encoding a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide.
(217) In some embodiments, polyadenylation refers to a covalent linkage of a polyadenylyl moiety, or its modified variant, to a messenger RNA molecule. In eukaryotic organisms, most messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules are polyadenylated at a 3 end. In some embodiments, a 3 poly(A) tail is a long sequence of adenine nucleotides (often several hundred) added to pre-mRNA through enzymatic action, polyadenylate polymerase. In higher eukaryotes, a poly(A) tail is added onto transcripts that contain a specific sequence, a polyadenylation signal. In some embodiments, a poly(A) tail and a protein bound to it aid in protecting mRNA from degradation by exonucleases. As will be understood to those of skill in the art, polyadenylation is also important for transcription termination, export of mRNA from a cell's nucleus, and translation. Polyadenylation occurs in a cell nucleus immediately after transcription of DNA into RNA, but additionally can also occur later in cytoplasm. After transcription has been terminated, an mRNA chain is cleaved through action of an endonuclease complex associated with RNA polymerase. A cleavage site is usually characterized by presence of a base sequence AAUAAA near a given cleavage site. After an mRNA has been cleaved, adenosine residues are added to a free 3 end at a cleavage site.
(218) In some embodiments, a poly(A) signal sequence is a sequence that triggers endonuclease cleavage of an mRNA and addition of a series of adenosines to the 3 end of a cleaved mRNA. A poly(A) portion refers to a series of adenosines attached by polyadenylation to an mRNA. In some embodiments of for the present disclosure, such as, e.g., transient expression, a poly A is between 50 and 5000, preferably greater than 64, more preferably greater than 100, most preferably greater than 300 or 400. Poly(A) sequences can be modified chemically or enzymatically to modulate mRNA functionality such as localization, stability or efficiency of translation.
(219) There are several poly(A) signal sequences that can be used, including those derived from bovine growth hormone (bgh) (Woychik et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

The contents of each of these references are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
(220) In some embodiments, a poly(A) signal sequence can be a sequence AATAAA. In some embodiments, an AATAAA sequence may be substituted with other hexanucleotide sequences with homology to AATAAA which are capable of signaling polyadenylation, including ATTAAA, AGTAAA, CATAAA, TATAAA, GATAAA, ACTAAA, AATATA, AAGAAA, AATAAT, AAAAAA, AATGAA, AATCAA, AACAAA, AATCAA, AATAAC, AATAGA, AATTAA, or AATAAG (see, e.g., WO 06/12414, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference).

(225) In some instances, a construct can include an expression control sequence and/or an enhancer sequence. In some embodiments, an enhancer is a nucleotide sequence that can increase a level of transcription of a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide of interest (e.g., a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide). In some embodiments, enhancer sequences (50-1500 base pairs in length) generally increase a level of transcription by providing additional binding sites for transcription-associated proteins (e.g., transcription factors). In some embodiments, an enhancer sequence is found within an intronic sequence. Unlike promoter sequences, enhancer sequences can act at much larger distance away from a transcription start site (e.g., as compared to a promoter). Non-limiting examples of enhancers include a RSV enhancer, a CMV enhancer, and a SV40 enhancer. An example of a CMV enhancer is described in, e.g., Boshart et al., Cell 41(2): 521-530, 1985, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.
(226) As described herein, a 5 cap (also termed an RNA cap, an RNA 7-methylguanosine cap or an RNA m.sup.7G cap) is a modified guanine nucleotide that has been added to a front or 5 end of a eukaryotic messenger RNA shortly after a start of transcription. In some embodiments, a 5 cap consists of a terminal group which is linked to a first transcribed nucleotide. Its presence is critical for recognition by a ribosome and protection from RNases. Cap addition is coupled to transcription, and occurs co-transcriptionally, such that each influences the other. Shortly after start of transcription, a 5 end of an mRNA being synthesized is bound by a cap-synthesizing complex associated with RNA polymerase. This enzymatic complex catalyzes a chemical reactions that are required for mRNA capping. Synthesis proceeds as a multi-step biochemical reaction. A capping moiety can be modified to modulate functionality of mRNA such as its stability or efficiency of translation.

d. Exemplary Heterologous Nucleic Acid Constructs
(233) In some embodiments, constructs of the disclosure may comprise (i) a transgene or a portion thereof and a transgene promoter sequence, and (ii) 5 and 3 AAV inverted terminal repeats (ITRs). In some embodiments, a construct may be packaged within a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide to produce a virion. In some embodiments, a virion is delivered to a selected target cell. In some embodiments, a transgene is a nucleic acid sequence, heterologous to a construct sequence, which encodes a polypeptide, protein, functional RNA molecule (e.g., miRNA, miRNA inhibitor) or other gene product, of interest. A nucleic acid transgene coding sequence is operatively linked to regulatory component(s) in a manner which permits transgene transcription, translation, and/or expression in a cell of a target tissue.
(234) Constructs as described in the present disclosure may include one or more additional elements as described herein (e.g., regulatory elements e.g., one or more of a promoter, a poly A sequence, and an IRES).
(235) In some embodiments, constructs of the present disclosure may be at least 3 Kb, at least 3.5 Kb, at least 4.0 Kb, at least 4.1 Kb, at least 4.2 Kb, at least 4.3 Kb, at least 4.4 Kb, at least 4.5 Kb, at least 4.6 Kb, at least 4.7 Kb, at least 4.8 Kb, at least 4.9 Kb, at least 5.0 Kb, at least 5.1 Kb, at least 5.2 Kb, at least 5.3 Kb, at least 5.4 Kb, at least 5.5 Kb, at least 5.6 Kb, at least 5.7 Kb, at least 5.8 Kb, at least 5.9 Kb, at least 6.0 Kb, at least 6.1 Kb, at least 6.2 Kb, at least 6.3 Kb, at least 6.4 Kb, at least 6.5 Kb.
(236) Methods for obtaining constructs are known in the art. For example, to produce protoparvovirus constructs, methods typically involve culturing a host cell which comprises a VP1 capsid coding sequence encoding a protoparvovirus capsid polypeptide or fragment thereof; a construct comprising an AAV inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) and a transgene; a functional capsid rep gene; a functional ITR rep gene; and/or sufficient helper functions to permit packaging of the construct into a protoparvovirus capsid polypeptide.
(237) In some embodiments, components to be cultured in a host cell to package a construct in a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid may be provided to the host cell in trans. Alternatively, one or more components (e.g., a construct, rep sequences, cap sequences, and/or helper functions) may be provided by a stable host cell that has been engineered to contain one or more such components using methods known to those of skill in the art. In some embodiments, such a stable host cell contains such component(s) under control of an inducible promoter. In some embodiments, such component(s) may be under control of a constitutive promoter. In some embodiments, a selected stable host cell may contain selected component(s) under control of a constitutive promoter and other selected component(s) under control of one or more inducible promoters. For example, a stable host cell may be generated that is derived from HEK293T cells (which contain E1 helper functions under the control of a constitutive promoter), but that contain rep and/or cap proteins under control of inducible promoters. Other stable host cells may be generated by one of skill in the art using routine methods.
(238) A construct, rep sequences, cap sequences, and helper functions required for producing a protoparvovirus VP1 polypeptide of the disclosure may be delivered to a packaging host cell using any appropriate genetic element (e.g., construct). A selected genetic element may be delivered by any suitable method known in the art, e.g., to those with skill in nucleic acid manipulation and include genetic engineering, recombinant engineering, and synthetic techniques (see, e.g., Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). Similarly, methods of generating protoparvovirus virions are well known and any suitable method can be used with the present disclosure (see, e.g., K. Fisher et al., J. Virol., 70:520-532 (1993) and U.S. Pat. No. 5,478,745, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference).
(239) i. Inverted Terminal Repeat Sequences (ITRs)
(240) Sequences of a construct described herein may comprise a cis-acting 5 and 3 inverted terminal repeat sequences (ITRs) (See, e.g., B. J. Carter, in Handbook of Parvoviruses, ed., P. Tijsser, CRC Press, pp. 155 168 (1990), which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). In some embodiments, ITR sequences are about 145 nt in length. For example, wild type AAV2 ITRs are generally about 145 nt in length. Preferably, substantially the entire sequences encoding ITRs are used in a given molecule, although some degree of minor modification of these sequences is permissible. Ability to modify ITR sequences is within the skill of the art. (See, e.g., texts such as Sambrook et al. Molecular Cloning. A Laboratory Manual, 2d ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York (1989); and K. Fisher et al., J Virol., 70:520 532 (1996), each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). An example of such a molecule employed in the present disclosure is a cis-acting construct comprising a sequence encoding a transgene product, in which such a sequence and its associated regulatory elements are flanked by 5 or left and 3 or right AAV ITR sequences. 5 and left designations refer to a position of an ITR sequence relative to an entire construct, read left to right, in a sense direction. For example, in some embodiments, a 5 or left ITR is an ITR that is closest to a promoter (as opposed to a polyadenylation sequence) for a given construct, when a construct is depicted in a sense orientation, linearly. 3 and right designations refer to a position of an ITR sequence relative to an entire construct, read left to right, in a sense direction. For example, in some embodiments, a 3 or right ITR is an ITR that is closest to a polyadenylation sequence (as opposed to a promoter sequence) for a given construct, when a construct is depicted in a sense orientation, linearly. ITRs as provided herein are depicted in 5 to 3 order in accordance with a sense strand. Accordingly, one of skill in the art will appreciate that a 5 or left orientation ITR can also be depicted as a 3 or right ITR when converting from sense to antisense direction. Further, it is well within the ability of one of skill in the art to transform a given sense ITR sequence (e.g., a 5/left AAV ITR) into an antisense sequence (e.g., 3/right ITR sequence). Accordingly, based upon known AAV ITRs one of skill in the art would understand, in looking at sequences disclosed herein, whether an ITR was in a sense or antisense orientation and whether it would go on a left or right side of a construct, whether or not it is explicitly labeled as such. One of ordinary skill in the art would understand how to modify a given ITR sequence for use as either a 5/left or 3/right ITR, or an antisense version thereof.
(241) ITR sequences may be obtained from any known virus. In some embodiments, an ITR is or comprises 145 nucleotides. In some embodiments an ITR is a wild-type AAV2 ITR. In some embodiments an ITR is derived from a wild-type AAV2 ITR and includes one or more modifications, e.g., truncations, deletions, substitutions or insertions as is known in the art. In some embodiments, an ITR comprises fewer than 145 nucleotides, e.g., 119, 127, 130, 134 or 141 nucleotides. For example, in some embodiments, an ITR comprises 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143 144, or 145 nucleotides.
(242) In some embodiments, an ITR comprises (a) a dependoparvovirus ITR (b) an AAV ITR, optionally an AAV2 ITR, (c) a bocaparvovirus ITR, (d) a protoparvovirus ITR, (e) a tetraparvovirus ITR, or (f) an erythroparvovirus ITR. In certain embodiments, the ITR is a terminal palindrome with Rep binding elements and terminal resolution site (trs) that is structurally similar to the wild-type ITR. The ITR, in some embodiments, is from AAV1, 2, 3, etc. In certain embodiments, the ITR has the AAV2 RBE and trs. In some embodiments, the ITR is a chimera of different AAVs. In some embodiments, the ITR and the Rep protein are from AAV5. In some embodiments, the ITR is synthetic and is comprised of RBE motifs and terminal resolution site (trs) GGTTGG, AGTTGG, AGTTGA, RRTTRR. The typical T-shaped structure of the terminal palindrome consisting of the B/B and C/C stems may also be synthetically modified with substitutions and insertions that maintain the overall secondary structure based on folding prediction (available at URL (http) of unafold.rna.albany.edu/?q=mfold/DNA-Folding-Form). The stability of the ITR secondary structure is designated by the Gibbs free energy, delta G, with lower values, i.e., more negative, indicating greater stability. The full-length, 145 nt ITR has a computed G=69.91 kcal/mol. The B and C stems: GCCCGGGCAAAGCCCGGGCGTCGGGCGACCTTTGGTCGCCCG (SEQ ID NO: 144) have G=22.44 kcal/mol. Substitutions and insertions that result in a structure with G=15 kcal/mol to 30 kcal/mol are functionally equivalent and not distinct from the wild-type dependoparvovirus ITRs.
(243) Any combination of ITRs and capsid polypeptides may be used in constructs of the present disclosure, for example, wild-type or variant AAV2 ITRs and AAV6 capsid, etc.

(264) In some embodiments, a transgene comprises a gene associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (e.g., ALPK3, LMNA, BAG3). In some embodiments, a transgene comprises or is ALPK3. In some embodiments, a transgene comprises or is LMNA. In some embodiments, a transgene comprises or is BAG3.
(265) In some embodiments, a transgene as defined herein encodes a small interfering nucleic acid (e.g., shRNAs, miRNAs) that inhibits the expression of a gene product associated with cancer (e.g., oncogenes) may be used to prevent or treat cancer. In some embodiments, a transgene as defined herein encodes a gene product associated with cancer (or a functional RNA that inhibits expression of a gene associated with cancer) for use, e.g., for research purposes, e.g., to study a cancer or to identify therapeutics that prevent or treat a cancer.
(266) An ordinarily skilled artisan also appreciates that a nucleic acids of interest can comprise at least one sequence variation that result in conservative amino acid substitutions which may provide functionally equivalent variants, or homologs of a protein or polypeptide. Additionally contemplated in this disclosure is a transgene in a virion described herein, having a dominant negative mutation. For example, a transgene can encode a mutant protein that interacts with the same elements as a wild-type protein, and thereby blocks some aspects of a function of a wild-type protein.
(267) In some embodiments, a transgene in a virion disclosed herein includes miRNAs. miRNAs and other small interfering nucleic acids regulate gene expression via target RNA transcript cleavage/degradation or translational repression of the target messenger RNA (mRNA). miRNAs are natively expressed, typically as final 19-25 non-translated RNA products. miRNAs exhibit their activity through sequence-specific interactions with the 3 untranslated regions (UTR) of target mRNAs. These endogenously expressed miRNAs form hairpin precursors which are subsequently processed into a miRNA duplex, and further into a mature single stranded miRNA molecule. This mature miRNA guides a multiprotein complex, miRISC, which identifies target site, e.g., in the 3 UTR regions, of target mRNAs based upon their complementarity to the mature miRNA.
(268) A miRNA inhibits the function of the mRNAs it targets and, as a result, inhibits expression of the polypeptides encoded by the mRNAs. Thus, blocking (partially or totally) the activity of the miRNA (e.g., silencing the miRNA) can effectively induce, or restore, expression of a polypeptide whose expression is inhibited (de-repress the polypeptide). In some embodiments, de-repression of polypeptides encoded by mRNA targets of a miRNA is accomplished by inhibiting the miRNA activity in cells through any one of a variety of methods. For example, blocking activity of a miRNA can be accomplished by hybridization with a small interfering nucleic acid (e.g., antisense oligonucleotide, miRNA sponge, TuD RNA) that is complementary, or substantially complementary to, the miRNA, thereby blocking interaction of the miRNA with its target mRNA. As used herein, a small interfering nucleic acid that is substantially complementary to a miRNA is one that is capable of hybridizing with a miRNA, and blocking the miRNA's activity. In some embodiments, a small interfering nucleic acid that is substantially complementary to a miRNA is a small interfering nucleic acid that is complementary with the miRNA at all but 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, or 18 bases. In some embodiments, a small interfering nucleic acid sequence that is substantially complementary to a miRNA, is a small interfering nucleic acid sequence that is complementary with the miRNA at, at least, one base.

(270) In some embodiments, a transgene promoter is an inducible promoter, a constitutive promoter, a mammalian cell promoter, a viral promoter, a chimeric promoter, an engineered promoter, a tissue-specific promoter, or any other type of promoter known in the art. In some embodiments, a promoter is a RNA polymerase II promoter, such as a mammalian RNA polymerase II promoter. In some embodiments, a promoter is a RNA polymerase III promoter, including, but not limited to, a HI promoter, a human U6 promoter, a mouse U6 promoter, or a swine U6 promoter.

Inducible promoters and inducible systems are available from a variety of commercial sources, including, without limitation, Invitrogen, Clontech, and Ariad. Additional examples of inducible promoters are known in the art.
(278) Examples of inducible transgene promoters regulated by exogenously supplied compounds include a zinc-inducible sheep metallothionine (MT) promoter, a dexamethasone (Dex)-inducible mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter, a T7 polymerase promoter system (WO 98/10088, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference); an ecdysone insect promoter (No et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 93:3346-3351, 1996, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference), a tetracycline-repressible system (Gossen et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

Invest. 100:2865-2872, 1997, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference).
(279) In some embodiments, regulatory sequences impart tissue-specific gene expression capabilities. In some cases, tissue-specific regulatory sequences bind tissue-specific transcription factors that induce transcription in a tissue-specific manner.
(280) The term tissue-specific transgene promoter refers to a transgene promoter that is active only in certain specific cell types and/or tissues (e.g., transcription of a specific gene occurs only within cells expressing transcription regulatory and/or control proteins that bind to the tissue-specific promoter).
(281) In some embodiments, provided constructs comprise a promoter sequence selected from a CAG, a CBA, a CMV, or a CB7 promoter. In some embodiments of therapeutic compositions described herein, a first or sole a construct further includes at least one promoter.
(282) iv. Enhancers and 5 Cap
(283) In some instances, a construct can include a transgene promoter sequence and/or an enhancer sequence. In some embodiments, an enhancer is a nucleotide sequence that can increase a level of transcription of a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide of interest (e.g., a transgene). In some embodiments, enhancer sequences (50-1500 base pairs in length) generally increase a level of transcription by providing additional binding sites for transcription-associated proteins (e.g., transcription factors). In some embodiments, an enhancer sequence is found within an intronic sequence. Unlike promoter sequences, enhancer sequences can act at much larger distance away from a transcription start site (e.g., as compared to a promoter). Non-limiting examples of enhancers include a RSV enhancer, a CMV enhancer, and a SV40 enhancer. An example of a CMV enhancer is described in, e.g., Boshart et al., Cell 41(2): 521-530, 1985, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.
(284) As described herein, a 5 cap (also termed an RNA cap, an RNA 7-methylguanosine cap or an RNA m.sup.7G cap) is a modified guanine nucleotide that has been added to a front or 5 end of a eukaryotic messenger RNA shortly after a start of transcription. In some embodiments, a 5 cap consists of a terminal group which is linked to a first transcribed nucleotide. Its presence is critical for recognition by a ribosome and protection from RNases. Cap addition is coupled to transcription, and occurs co-transcriptionally, such that each influences the other. Shortly after start of transcription, a 5 end of an mRNA being synthesized is bound by a cap-synthesizing complex associated with RNA polymerase. This enzymatic complex catalyzes a chemical reactions that are required for mRNA capping. Synthesis proceeds as a multi-step biochemical reaction. A capping moiety can be modified to modulate functionality of mRNA such as its stability or efficiency of translation.
(285) e. Reporter Sequences or Elements
(286) Any constructs provided herein can optionally include a sequence encoding a reporter protein (a reporter sequence). For example, in some embodiments, a reporter sequence may be a FLAG, an eGFP, an mScarlet, a luciferase or any variant thereof. In some embodiments, a reporter sequence is visibly detectable without intervention. In some embodiments, a reporter element may be detected using a combination of fluorescent, histochemical, and/or transcript or protein analyses. Non-limiting examples of reporter sequences are described herein. Additional examples of reporter sequences are known in the art. In some embodiments, reporter sequence can be used to verify tissue-specific targeting capabilities and tissue-specific promoter regulatory activity of any constructs described herein.
(287) f. Additional Sequences
(288) In some embodiments, constructs of the present disclosure may comprise a T2A element or sequence. In some embodiments, constructs of the present disclosure may include one or more cloning sites. In some such embodiments, cloning sites may not be fully removed prior to manufacturing for administration to a subject.
(289) g. Genome Editing
(290) In some embodiments, a genome editing system targets nucleotides within a specific target site.
(291) i. RNA-Guided Micleases
(292) RNA-guided nucleases according to the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, naturally-occurring Class 2 CRISPR nucleases such as Cas9, and Cpf1, as well as other nucleases derived or obtained therefrom. In functional terms, RNA-guided nucleases are defined as those nucleases that: (a) interact with (e.g., complex with) a gRNA; and (b) together with gRNA, associate with, and optionally cleave or modify, a target region of a DNA that includes (i) a sequence complementary to a targeting domain of a gRNA and, optionally, (ii) an additional sequence referred to as a protospacer adjacent motif, or PAM, which is described in greater detail herein.
(293) Naturally occurring CRISPR systems are organized evolutionarily into two classes and five types (Makarova et al. Nat Rev Microbiol. 2011 June; 9(6): 467-477 (Makarova), which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference), and while genome editing systems of the present disclosure may adapt components of any type or class of naturally occurring CRISPR system, embodiments presented herein are generally adapted from Class 2, and type II or V CRISPR systems. Class 2 systems, which encompass types II and V, are characterized by relatively large, multidomain CRISPR proteins (e.g., Cas9 or Cpf1) and one or more gRNAs (e.g., a crRNA and, optionally, a tracrRNA) that form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes that associate with (i.e., target) and cleave specific loci complementary to a targeting (or spacer) sequence of a crRNA. Genome editing systems according to the present disclosure similarly target and edit cellular DNA sequences, but differ significantly from CRISPR systems occurring in nature. For example, unimolecular gRNAs described herein do not occur in nature, and both gRNAs and CRISPR nucleases according to this disclosure may incorporate any number of non-naturally occurring modifications.
(294) As described herein, it should be noted that a genome editing systems of the present disclosure can be targeted to a single specific nucleotide sequence, or may be targeted toand capable of editing in paralleltwo or more specific nucleotide sequences through use of two or more gRNAs. In some embodiments, use of multiple gRNAs is referred to as multiplexing. As described herein, multiplexing can be employed, for example, to target multiple, unrelated target sequences of interest, or to form multiple SSBs or DSBs within a single target domain and, in some cases, to generate specific edits within such target domain. For example, International Patent Publication No. WO 2015/138510 by Maeder et al., which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference; (Maeder) describes a genome editing system for correcting a point mutation (C.2991+1655A to G) in human CEP290 that results in t creation of a cryptic splice site, which in turn reduces or eliminates function of the gene. That genome editing system of Maeder utilizes two gRNAs targeted to sequences on either side of (i.e., flanking) the point mutation, and forms DSBs that flank the mutation. This, in turn, promotes deletion of the intervening sequence, including the mutation, thereby eliminating the cryptic splice site and restoring normal gene function.
(295) As another example, WO 2016/073990 by Cotta-Ramusino, et al. (Cotta-Ramusino), which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference. Cotta-Ramusino describes a genome editing system that utilizes two gRNAs in combination with a Cas9 nickase (a Cas9 that makes a single strand nick such as S. pyogenes D10A), an arrangement termed a dual-nickase system. The dual-nickase system of Cotta-Ramusino is configured to make two nicks on opposite strands of a sequence of interest that are offset by one or more nucleotides, which nicks combine to create a double strand break having an overhang (5 in the case of Cotta-Ramusino, though 3 overhangs are also possible). The overhang, in turn, can facilitate homology directed repair events in some circumstances. And, as another example, WO 2015/070083 by Palestrant et al., which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference; (Palestrant) describes a gRNA targeted to a nucleotide sequence encoding Cas9 (referred to as a governing RNA), which can be included in a genome editing system comprising one or more additional gRNAs to permit transient expression of a Cas9 that might otherwise be constitutively expressed, for example in some virally transduced cells. These multiplexing applications are intended to be exemplary, rather than limiting, and the skilled artisan will appreciate that other applications of multiplexing are generally compatible with the genome editing systems described here.
(296) Genome editing systems can, in some instances, form double strand breaks that are repaired by cellular DNA double-strand break mechanisms such as NHEJ or HDR. These mechanisms are described throughout the literature, for example by Davis & Maizels, PNAS, 111(10): E924-932, Mar. 11, 2014, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference (Davis) (describing Alt-HDR); Frit et al. DNA Repair 17(2014) 81-97, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference (Frit) (describing Alt-NHEJ); and Iyama and Wilson III, DNA Repair (Amst.) 2013-August; 12(8): 620-636, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference (Iyama) (describing canonical HDR and NHEJ pathways generally).
(297) Where genome editing systems operate by forming DSBs, such systems optionally include one or more components that promote or facilitate a particular mode of double-strand break repair or a particular repair outcome. For instance, Cotta-Ramusino also describes genome editing systems in which a single stranded oligonucleotide donor template is added; a donor template is incorporated into a target region of cellular DNA that is cleaved by a genome editing system, and can result in a change in a target sequence.
(298) In some embodiments, genome editing systems modify a target sequence, or modify expression of a gene in or near a target sequence, without causing single- or double-strand breaks. For example, a genome editing system may include a CRISPR protein fused to a functional domain that acts on DNA, thereby modifying a target sequence or its expression. As one example, a CRISPR protein can be connected to (e.g., fused to) a cytidine deaminase functional domain, and may operate by generating targeted C-to-A substitutions. Exemplary nuclease/deaminase fusions are described in Komor et al. Nature 533, 420-424(19 May 2016) (Komor), which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference. In some embodiments, a genome editing system may utilize a cleavage-inactivated (i.e., a dead) nuclease, such as a dead Cas9 (dCas9), and may operate by forming stable complexes on one or more targeted regions of cellular DNA, thereby interfering with functions involving a targeted region(s) including, without limitation, mRNA transcription, chromatin remodeling, etc. In some embodiments, a genome editing system may be self-inactivating to improve a safety profile, as described by Li et al. A Self-Deleting AAV-CRISPR System for In vivo Editing Mol Ther Methods Clin Dev. 2019 Mar. 15; 12:111-122; published online (2018 Dec. 6), the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
(299) As the following examples will illustrate, RNA-guided nucleases can be defined, in broad terms, by their PAM specificity and cleavage activity, even though variations may exist between individual RNA-guided nucleases that share the same PAM specificity or cleavage activity. Skilled artisans will appreciate that some aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods and compositions that can be implemented using any suitable RNA-guided nuclease having a certain PAM specificity and/or cleavage activity. For this reason, unless otherwise specified, the term RNA-guided nuclease should be understood as a generic term, and not limited to any particular type (e.g., Cas9 vs. Cpf1), species (e.g., S. pyogenes vs. S. aureus, etc.) or variation (e.g., full-length vs. truncated or split; naturally-occurring PAM specificity vs. engineered PAM specificity, etc.) of RNA-guided nuclease. In some embodiments, a CRISPR/Cas is derived from a type II CRISPR/Cas system. In some embodiments, a CRISPR/Cas system is derived from a Cas9 protein. A Cas9 protein can be from Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus thermophilus, Staphylococcus aureus, Campylobacter jejuni, or other species.
(300) Administering bacterial Cas9 in humans presents immunogenicity concerns. Therefore, it is important to develop a codon-optimized CRISPR system as described herein to reduce immunogenicity. In addition, some other limitations include a need to use a two construct system (instead of a single construct system such that is used in shRNA and miRNA protocols), and determination of off-target risk.
(301) A PAM sequence takes its name from its sequential relationship to a protospacer sequence that is complementary to gRNA targeting domains (or spacers). Together with protospacer sequences, PAM sequences define target regions or sequences for specific RNA-guided nuclease/gRNA combinations.
(302) Various RNA-guided nucleases may require different sequential relationships between PAMs and protospacers. In general, Cas9s recognize PAM sequences that are 3 of a protospacer. Cpf1, on the other hand, generally recognizes PAM sequences that are 5 of a protospacer.
(303) In addition to recognizing specific sequential orientations of PAMs and protospacers, RNA-guided nucleases can also recognize specific PAM sequences. S. aureus Cas9, for instance, recognizes a PAM sequence of NNGRRT or NNGRRV, wherein the N residues are immediately 3 of the region recognized by the gRNA targeting domain. S. pyogenes Cas9 recognizes NGG PAM sequences. And F. novicida Cpf1 recognizes a TTN PAM sequence. PAM sequences have been identified for a variety of RNA-guided nucleases, and a strategy for identifying novel PAM sequences has been described by Shmakov et al., 2015, Molecular Cell 60, 385-397, Nov. 5, 2015. It should also be noted that engineered RNA-guided nucleases can have PAM specificities that differ from\PAM specificities of reference molecules (for instance, in the case of an engineered RNA-guided nuclease, a reference molecule may be a naturally occurring variant from which an RNA-guided nuclease is derived, or a naturally occurring variant having the greatest amino acid sequence homology to an engineered RNA-guided nuclease).
(304) In addition to their PAM specificity, RNA-guided nucleases can be characterized by their DNA cleavage activity: naturally-occurring RNA-guided nucleases typically form DSBs in target nucleic acids, but engineered variants have been produced that generate only SSBs (discussed above) Ran & Hsu, et al., Cell 154(6), 1380-1389 Sep. 12, 2013 (Ran)), or that that do not cut at all.
(305) The present application also recognizes that other types of CRISPR enzymes, such as Cas12a, can be used in accordance with embodiments described herein.
(306) CRISPR Fusion Proteins
(307) As described herein, in some embodiments, a CRISPR nuclease is part of a fusion protein comprising one or more heterologous protein domains (e.g., about or more than about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more domains in addition to a CRISPR nuclease). A CRISPR nuclease fusion protein may comprise any additional protein sequence, and optionally a linker sequence between any two domains. Examples of protein domains that may be fused to a CRISPR nuclease include, without limitation, epitope tags, reporter gene sequences, and protein domains having one or more of the following activities: methylase activity, demethylase activity, transcription activation activity, transcription repression activity, transcription release factor activity, histone modification activity, RNA cleavage activity and nucleic acid binding activity. Additional domains that may form part of a fusion protein comprising a CRISPR nuclease are described in US20110059502, incorporated herein by reference. In some embodiments, a tagged CRISPR nuclease is used to identify a location of a target sequence. In some embodiments, a CRISPR nuclease that is part of a fusion protein has been engineered to produce only SSBs as described herein. In some embodiments, a CRISPR nuclease that is part of a fusion protein has been engineered to not cut at all as described herein.
(308) CRISPR Variants
(309) In general, RNA-guided nucleases comprise at least one RNA recognition and/or RNA binding domain. RNA recognition and/or RNA binding domains interact with a guiding RNA. CRISPR/Cas proteins can also comprise nuclease domains (i.e., DNase or RNase domains), DNA binding domains, helicase domains, RNAse domains, protein-protein interaction domains, dimerization domains, as well as other domains. RNA-guided nucleases can be modified to increase nucleic acid binding affinity and/or specificity, alter an enzymatic activity, and/or change another property of a protein. In some embodiments, a CRISPR/Cas-like protein of a fusion protein can be derived from a wild type Cas9 protein or fragment thereof. In some embodiments, a CRISPR/Cas can be derived from modified Cas9 protein. For example, an amino acid sequence of a Cas9 protein can be modified to alter one or more properties (e.g., nuclease activity, affinity, stability, and so forth) of a protein. Alternatively, domains of a Cas9 protein not involved in RNA-guided cleavage can be eliminated from a protein such that a modified Cas9 protein is smaller than a wild type Cas9 protein. In general, a Cas9 protein comprises at least two nuclease (i.e., DNase) domains. For example, a Cas9 protein can comprise a RuvC-like nuclease domain and a HNH-like nuclease domain. RuvC and HNH domains work together to cut single strands to make a double-stranded break in DNA (Jinek et al., 2012, Science, 337:816-821, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference).
(310) In some embodiments, a Cas9-derived protein can be modified to contain only one functional nuclease domain (either a RuvC-like or a HNH-like nuclease domain). For example, a Cas9-derived protein can be modified such that one nuclease domain is deleted or mutated such that it is no longer functional (i.e., nuclease activity is absent). In some embodiments in which one nuclease domains is inactive, a Cas9-derived protein is able to introduce a nick into a double-stranded nucleic acid (such protein is termed a nickase), but not cleave double-stranded DNA. In any of the above-described embodiments, any or all of nuclease domains can be inactivated by one or more deletion mutations, insertion mutations, and/or substitution mutations using well-known methods, such as site-directed mutagenesis, PCR-mediated mutagenesis, and total gene synthesis, as well as other methods known in the art.
(311) One example of a CRISPR/Cas9 system used to inhibit gene expression, CRISPRi, is described in U.S. Publication No. US2014/0068797, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. CRISPRi induces permanent gene disruption that utilizes the RNA-guided Cas9 endonuclease to introduce DNA double stranded breaks which trigger error-prone repair pathways to result in frame shift mutations. A catalytically dead Cas9 lacks endonuclease activity. When coexpressed with a gRNA, a DNA recognition complex is generated that specifically interferes with transcriptional elongation, RNA polymerase binding, or transcription factor binding. This CRISPRi system efficiently represses expression of targeted genes.
(312) ii. Guide RNAs (gRNAs)
(313) gRNA Sequence Selection
(314) A gRNA sequence may be specific for any gene, such as a gene that would affect (e.g., ameliorate, improve, attenuate, mitigate) a disease or disorder. In some embodiments, a gRNA sequence includes an RNA sequence, a DNA sequence, a combination thereof (a RNA-DNA combination sequence), or a sequence with synthetic nucleotides. A gRNA sequence can be a single molecule or a double molecule. In one embodiment, a gRNA sequence comprises a single guide RNA (sgRNA).
(315) In some embodiments, a gRNA sequence is specific for a gene and targets that gene for Cas endonuclease-induced double strand breaks. A sequence of a gRNA may be within a loci of the gene. In one embodiment, a gRNA sequence is at least 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 or more nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, a gRNA sequence is from about 18 to about 22 nucleotides in length.
(316) As described herein, in some embodiments in the context of formation of a CRISPR complex, target sequence refers to a sequence to which a guide sequence is designed to have some complementarity, where hybridization between a target sequence and a guide sequence promotes formation of a CRISPR complex. Full complementarity is not necessarily required, provided there is sufficient complementarity to cause hybridization and promote formation of a CRISPR complex. A target sequence may comprise any polynucleotide, such as DNA or RNA polynucleotides. In some embodiments, a target sequence is located in the nucleus or cytoplasm of a cell. In some embodiments, a target sequence may be within an organelle of a eukaryotic cell, for example, mitochondrion or nucleus. Typically, in the context of an endogenous CRISPR system, formation of a CRISPR complex (comprising a guide sequence hybridized to a target sequence and complexed with one or more Cas proteins) results in cleavage of one or both strands in or near (e.g., within about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 50 or more base pairs) a target sequence. As with a target sequence, it is believed that complete complementarity is not needed, provided this is sufficient to be functional. In some embodiments, a tracr sequence has at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% or 99% of sequence complementarity along the length of a tracr mate sequence when optimally aligned.
(317) gRNA Design
(318) Methods for selection and validation of target sequences as well as off-target analyses have been described previously, e.g., in Mali; Hsu; Fu et al., 2014 Nat biotechnol 32(3): 279-84, Heigwer et al., 2014 Nat methods 11(2): 122-3; Bae et al. (2014) Bioinformatics 30(10): 1473-5; and Xiao A et al. (2014) Bioinformatics 30(8): 1180-1182, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference. As a non-limiting example, gRNA design may involve use of a software tool to optimize choice of potential target sequences corresponding to a user's target sequence, e.g., to minimize total off-target activity across a genome. While off-target activity is not limited to cleavage, cleavage efficiency at each off-target sequence can be predicted, e.g., using an experimentally-derived weighting scheme. These and other guide selection methods are described in detail in Maeder and Cotta-Ramusino.
(319) For example, methods for selection and validation of target sequences as well as off-target analyses can be performed using cas-offinder (Bae S, Park J, Kim J-S. Cas-OFFinder: a fast and versatile algorithm that searches for potential off-target sites of Cas9 RNA-guided endonucleases. Bioinformatics. 2014; 30:1473-5, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). Cas-offinder is a tool that can quickly identify all sequences in a genome that have up to a specified number of mismatches to a guide sequence.
(320) As another example, methods for scoring how likely a given sequence is to be an off-target (e.g., once candidate target sequences are identified) can be performed. An exemplary score includes a Cutting Frequency Determination (CFD) score, as described by Doench J G, Fusi N, Sullender M, Hegde M, Vaimberg E W, Donovan K F, et al. Optimized sgRNA design to maximize activity and minimize off-target effects of CRISPR-Cas9. Nat Biotechnol. 2016; 34:184-91, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.
(321) gRNA Modifications
(322) Certain exemplary modifications discussed in this section can be included at any position within a gRNA sequence including, without limitation at or near its 5 end (e.g., within 1-10, 1-5, or 1-2 nucleotides of a 5 end) and/or at or near its 3 end (e.g., within 1-10, 1-5, or 1-2 nucleotides of a 3 end). In some cases, modifications are positioned within functional motifs, such as a repeat-anti-repeat duplex of a Cas9 gRNA, a stem loop structure of a Cas9 or Cpf1 gRNA, and/or a targeting domain of a gRNA. Others types of modified nucleobases are described herein.
(323) h. Knockdown
(324) The present disclosure provides technologies (e.g., comprising compositions) that may, in some embodiments, reduce, suppress or otherwise decrease (knock down) expression of one or more gene products. For example, in some embodiments, technologies of the present disclosure may achieve knockdown of a gene product (e.g., a gene, mRNA, protein, etc.).
(325) i. Inhibitory Nucleic Acid Molecules
(326) RNA interference (RNAi) is a process of sequence-specific post-transcriptional gene silencing by which, e.g., double stranded RNA (dsRNA) homologous to a target locus can specifically inactivate gene function (Hammond et al., Nature Genet. 2001; 2:110-119; Sharp, Genes Dev. 1999; 13:139-141, the contents of each which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). For example, positional location of shRNAs targeting intronic-3 XmiR, poly A-3 XmiR, or both intronic-3 XmiR and PolyA-3XmiR reduced PIZ serum level (% knockdown as compared to GFP control) (Mueller et al 2012). As described herein, positional impacts of miRNAs are tested and evaluated. In some embodiments, dsRNA-induced gene silencing can be mediated by short double-stranded small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) generated from longer dsRNAs by ribonuclease III cleavage (Bernstein et al., Nature 2001; 409:363-366 and Elbashir et al., Genes Dev. 2001; 15:188-200, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Without being bound by any particular theory, RNAi-mediated gene silencing is thought to occur via sequence-specific RNA degradation, where sequence specificity is determined by interaction of a siRNA with its complementary sequence within a target RNA (see, e.g., Tuschl, Chem. Biochem. 2001; 2:239-245). In some embodiments, RNAi can involve use of, e.g., siRNAs (Elbashir, et al., Nature 2001; 411:494-498, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference) or short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) bearing a fold back stem-loop structure (Paddison et al., Genes Dev. 2002; 16:948-958; Sui et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2002; 99:5515-5520; Brummelkamp et al., Science 2002; 296:550-553; Paul et al., Nature Biotechnol. 2002; 20:505-508, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference).
(327) In some embodiments an inhibitory nucleic acid is one or more of a short interfering RNA (siRNA), a short hairpin RNA (shRNA), an antisense oligonucleotide, or a ribozyme. In some embodiments, knockdown of gene expression is achieved via inhibitory nucleic acids that target a target sequence as described herein. In some such embodiments, a targeted target sequence may be a wild-type and/or pathogenic variant gene product.
(328) siRNA or shRNA
(329) In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides an inhibitory nucleic acid e, e.g., a chemically-modified siRNAs or a construct-driven expression of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) that are then cleaved to siRNA, e.g., within a cell. Accordingly, one of skill in the art will understand that, for purposes of sequences, an shRNA sequence is interchangeable with an siRNA sequence and that where the disclosure refers to an siRNA, an shRNA sequence may be used since the shRNA will be cleaved into siRNA. For example, in some embodiments, an inhibitory nucleic acid can be a dsRNA (e.g., siRNA) including 16-30 nucleotides, e.g., 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 nucleotides in each strand, where one strand is substantially identical, e.g., at least 80% (or more, e.g., 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%) identical, e.g., having 3, 2, 1, or 0 mismatched nucleotide(s), to a target region in an mRNA, and the other strand is complementary to the first strand. In some embodiments, dsRNA molecules can be designed using methods known in the art, e.g., Dharmacon.com (see, siDESIGN CENTER) or The siRNA User Guide, available on the Internet at mpibpc.gwdg.de/abteilungen/100/105/sirna.html website which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference. Without being bound by any particular theory, the present disclosure contemplates that siRNA or shRNAs are more endogenous (e.g., no foreign proteins) in a way that may be more recognizable to a cell compared to other available techniques that will be known to those of skill in the art. Accordingly, in some embodiments, siRNA or shRNA have lower immunogenicity and/or have less risk of off-target DNA cleavage as compared to other techniques known to those of skill in the art.
(330) Several methods for expressing siRNA duplexes within cells from a construct to achieve long-term target gene suppression in cells are known in the art, e.g., including constructs that use a mammalian Pol III promoter system (e.g., H1 or U6/snRNA promoter systems (Tuschl, Nature Biotechnol., 20:440-448, 2002, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference) to express functional double-stranded siRNAs; (Bagella et al., J. Cell. Physiol., 177:206-213, 1998; Lee et al., Nature Biotechnol., 20:500-505, 2002; Paul et al., Nature Biotechnol., 20:505-508, 2002; Yu et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 99(9): 6047-6052, 2002; Sui et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 99(6): 5515-5520, 2002, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). Transcriptional termination by RNA Pol III occurs at runs of four consecutive T residues in a DNA template, and can be used to provide a mechanism to end the siRNA transcript at a specific sequence. An siRNA is complementary to a sequence of a target gene in 5-3 and 3-5 orientations, and the two strands of a given siRNA can be expressed in the same construct or in separate constructs. Hairpin siRNAs, driven by H1 or U6 snRNA promoter and expressed in cells, can inhibit target gene expression (Bagella et al., 1998, supra; Lee et al., 2002, supra; Paul et al., 2002, supra; Yu et al., 2002, supra; Sui et al., 2002, supra).
(331) In some embodiments, siRNAs of the present disclosure are double stranded nucleic acid duplexes (of, e.g., 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, or 27 base pairs) comprising annealed complementary single stranded nucleic acid molecules. In some embodiments, siRNAs are short dsRNAs comprising annealed complementary single strand RNAs. In some embodiments, siRNAs comprise an annealed RNA: DNA duplex, wherein the sense strand of a duplex is a DNA molecule and the antisense strand of the same duplex is a RNA molecule.
(332) In some embodiments, duplexed siRNAs comprise a 2 or 3 nucleotide 3 overhang on each strand of a duplex. In some embodiments, siRNAs comprise 5-phosphate and 3-hydroxyl groups.
(333) In some embodiments, a siRNA molecule of the present disclosure includes one or more natural nucleobase and/or one or more modified nucleobases derived from a natural nucleobase. Examples include, but are not limited to, uracil, thymine, adenine, cytosine, and guanine having their respective amino groups protected by acyl protecting groups, 2-fluorouracil, 2-fluorocytosine, 5-bromouracil, 5-iodouracil, 2,6-diaminopurine, azacytosine, pyrimidine analogs such as pseudoisocytosine and pseudouracil and other modified nucleobases such as 8-substituted purines, xanthine, or hypoxanthine (the latter two being natural degradation products). Exemplary modified nucleobases are disclosed in Chiu and Rana, R N A, 2003, 9, 1034-1048, Limbach et al. Nucleic Acids Research, 1994, 22, 2183-2196 and Revankar and Rao, Comprehensive Natural Products Chemistry, vol. 7, 313, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.
(334) Modified nucleobases also include expanded-size nucleobases in which one or more aryl rings, such as phenyl rings, have been added. Nucleic base replacements described in the Glen Research catalog (available on the world wide web at glenresearch.com); Krueger A T et al., Acc. Chem. Res., 2007, 40, 141-150; Kool, ET, Acc. Chem. Res., 2002, 35, 936-943; Benner S. A., et al., Nat. Rev. Genet., 2005, 6, 553-543; Romesberg, F. E., et al., Curr. Opin. Chem. Biol., 2003, 7, 723-733; Hirao, I., Curr. Opin. Chem. Biol., 2006, 10, 622-627, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference, are contemplated as useful for siRNA molecules described herein. In some embodiments, modified nucleobases also encompass structures that are not considered nucleobases but are other moieties such as, but not limited to, corrin- or porphyrin-derived rings. Porphyrin-derived base replacements have been described in Morales-Rojas, H and Kool, ET, Org. Lett., 2002, 4, 4377-4380, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.
(335) In some embodiments, modified nucleobases are of any one of the following structures, optionally substituted:
(336) ##STR00001##
(337) In some embodiments, a modified nucleobase is fluorescent. Exemplary such fluorescent modified nucleobases include phenanthrene, pyrene, stillbene, isoxanthine, isozanthopterin, terphenyl, terthiophene, benzoterthiophene, coumarin, lumazine, tethered stillbene, benzo-uracil, and naphtho-uracil, as shown below:
(338) ##STR00002##
(339) In some embodiments, a modified nucleobase is unsubstituted. In some embodiments, a modified nucleobase is substituted. In some embodiments, a modified nucleobase is substituted such that it contains, e.g., heteroatoms, alkyl groups, or linking moieties connected to fluorescent moieties, biotin or avidin moieties, or other protein or peptides. In some embodiments, a modified nucleobase is a universal base that is not a nucleobase in the most classical sense, but that functions similarly to a nucleobase.

(352) In some embodiments, a siRNA described herein can be introduced to a target cell as an annealed duplex siRNA. In some embodiments, a siRNA described herein is introduced to a target cell as single stranded sense and antisense nucleic acid sequences that, once within a target cell, anneal to form a siRNA duplex. Alternatively, sense and antisense strands of an siRNA can be encoded by an expression construct (such as an expression construct described herein) that is introduced to a target cell. Upon expression within a target cell, transcribed sense and antisense strands can anneal to reconstitute an siRNA.
(353) In some embodiments, an siRNA molecule as described herein can be synthesized by standard methods known in the art, e.g., by use of an automated synthesizer. Without being bound by any particular theory, RNAs produced by such methodologies tend to be highly pure and to anneal efficiently to form siRNA duplexes. In some embodiments, following chemical synthesis, single stranded RNA molecules can be deprotected, annealed to form siRNAs, and purified (e.g., by gel electrophoresis or HPLC). Alternatively, in some embodiments, standard procedures can be used for in vitro transcription of RNA from DNA templates, e.g., carrying one or more RNA polymerase promoter sequences (e.g., T7 or SP6 RNA polymerase promoter sequences). Protocols for preparation of siRNAs using T7 RNA polymerase are known in the art (see, e.g., Donze and Picard, Nucleic Acids Res. 2002; 30: e46; and Yu et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2002; 99:6047-6052, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). In some embodiments, sense and antisense transcripts can be synthesized in two independent reactions and annealed later. In some embodiments, sense and antisense transcripts can be synthesized simultaneously in a single reaction.
(354) In some embodiments, an siRNA molecule can also be formed within a cell by transcription of RNA from an expression construct introduced into a cell (see, e.g., Yu et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2002; 99:6047-6052, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). For example, in some embodiments, an expression construct for in vivo production of siRNA molecules can include one or more siRNA encoding sequences operably linked to elements necessary for proper transcription of an siRNA encoding sequence(s), including, e.g., promoter elements and transcription termination signals. In some embodiments, preferred promoters for use in such expression constructs may include, e.g., a polymerase-III promoter, e.g., a polymerase-III HI-RNA promoter (see, e.g., Brummelkamp et al., Science 2002; 296:550-553, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference), a U6 polymerase-III promoter (see, e.g., Sui et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2002; Paul et al., Nature Biotechnol. 2002; 20:505-508; and Yu et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2002; 99:6047-6052, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). In some embodiments, an siRNA expression construct can comprise one or more construct sequences that facilitate cloning of an expression construct. Standard constructs that can be used include, e.g., pSilencer 2.0-U6 construct (Ambion Inc., Austin, Tex.).
(355) miRNA
(356) The present disclosure provides technologies related to or comprising one or more inhibitory nucleic acid molecules such as, e.g., one or more nucleotide sequences that are, comprise, or encode, microRNAs. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a highly conserved class of small RNA molecules that are transcribed from DNA in genomes of plants and animals, but are not translated into protein. As is known to those in the art, animal cells express a range of noncoding RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides termed micro RNA (miRNAs) and can regulate gene expression at a post transcriptional or translational level during animal development. miRNAs are excised from an approximately 70 nucleotide precursor RNA stem-loop. By substituting stem sequences of an miRNA precursor with miRNA sequence complementary to a target mRNA, a construct that expresses a novel miRNA can be used to produce siRNAs to initiate RNAi against specific mRNA targets in mammalian cells (Zeng, Mol. Cell, 9:1327-1333, 2002). In some embodiments, when expressed by DNA constructs containing polymerase III promoters, micro-RNA designed hairpins can silence gene expression (McManus, RNA 8:842-850, 2002).
(357) In some embodiments, miRNAs can be synthesized and locally or systemically administered to a subject, e.g., for therapeutic purposes. In some embodiments, miRNAs can be designed and/or synthesized as mature molecules or precursors (e.g., pri- or pre-miRNAs). In some embodiments, a pre-miRNA includes a guide strand and a passenger strand that are the same length (e.g., about 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 nucleotides). In some embodiments, a pre-miRNA includes a guide strand and a passenger strand that are different lengths (e.g., one strand is about 19 nucleotides, and the other is about 21 nucleotides). In some embodiments, an miRNA can target a coding region, a 5 untranslated region, and/or a 3 untranslated region, of endogenous mRNA. In some embodiments, an miRNA comprises a guide strand comprising a nucleotide sequence having sufficient sequence complementary with an endogenous mRNA of a subject to hybridize with and inhibit expression of endogenous mRNA.
(358) Antisense Nucleic Acid
(359) In some embodiments, an inhibitory nucleic acid molecule may be or comprise an antisense nucleic acid molecule, e.g., nucleic acid molecules whose nucleotide sequence is complementary to all or part of an mRNA encoding a protein of interest. In some embodiments, a non-coding regions (5 and 3 untranslated regions) are 5 and 3 sequences that flank a coding region and are not translated into amino acids. Based upon sequences disclosed herein, one of skill in the art can easily choose and synthesize any of a number of appropriate antisense molecules to target a gene as described herein. For example, a gene walk comprising a series of oligonucleotides of 15-30 nucleotides spanning a length of a nucleic acid (e.g., an mRNA) can be prepared, followed by testing for inhibition of expression of a gene. Optionally, gaps of 5-10 nucleotides can be left between oligonucleotides to reduce numbers of oligonucleotides synthesized and tested.
(360) In some embodiments, an antisense oligonucleotide can be, for example, about 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 nucleotides or more in length. One of skill in the art will recognize that an antisense oligonucleotide can be synthesized using various different chemistries.
(361) Ribozymes
(362) In some embodiments, an inhibitory nucleic acid molecule may be or comprise a ribozyme. As is known to those of skill in the art, ribozymes are catalytic RNA molecules with ribonuclease activity. In some embodiments, a ribozyme may be used as a controllable promoter. In some embodiments, ribozymes are capable of cleaving a single-stranded nucleic acid, such as an mRNA, to which they have a complementary region. Thus, in some embodiments, ribozymes (e.g., hammerhead ribozymes (described in Haselhoff and Gerlach, Nature, 334:585-591, 1988, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference)) can be used to catalytically cleave mRNA transcripts to thereby inhibit translation of a protein encoded by a given mRNA. Methods of designing and producing ribozymes are known in the art (see, e.g., Scanlon, 1999, Therapeutic Applications of Ribozymes, Humana Press, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). In some embodiments, for example, a ribozyme having specificity for a transgene mRNA can be designed based upon nucleotide sequence of a transgene gene product cDNA (e.g., any exemplary cDNA sequences described herein). For example, a derivative of a Tetrahymena L-19 IVS RNA can be constructed in which nucleotide sequence of an active site is complementary to a nucleotide sequence to be cleaved in a transgene mRNA (Cech et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,987,071; and Cech et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,116,742, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). Alternatively, an mRNA encoding a transgene protein can be used to select a catalytic RNA having a specific ribonuclease activity from a pool of RNA molecules (See, e.g., Bartel and Szostak, Science, 261:1411-1418, 1993, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference).

(391) b. Methods of Treatment
(392) Among other things, in some embodiments, technologies of the present disclosure are used to treat a disease or disorder. In some embodiments, provided herein are methods of preventing or treating a disease using a virion or pharmaceutical compositions described herein. In some embodiments, a virion disclosed herein provides to a subject a transgene (e.g., those encoding a therapeutic protein or a fragment thereof) transiently, e.g., a nucleic acid transduced by a virion is eventually lost after a certain period of expression. In preferred embodiments, a nucleic acid transduced by a virion integrates stably inside cells.
(393) In some embodiments, provided herein are methods of preventing or treating a disease, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a virion or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid encodes a polypeptide. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid decreases or eliminates expression of an endogenous gene. In some embodiments, provided herein are methods of preventing or treating a disease, comprising: (a) administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a virion described herein comprising a nucleic acid that increases or restores expression of a gene whose endogenous expression is aberrantly lower than expression in a healthy subject; or (b) administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a virion described herein comprising a nucleic acid that decreases or eliminates expression of a gene whose endogenous expression is aberrantly higher than expression in a healthy subject. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid comprises a transgene.
(394) In some embodiments, provided herein are methods of preventing or treating a disease, comprising: (a) obtaining a plurality of cells from a subject with disease, (b) transducing cells with a virion described herein, optionally further selecting or screening for transduced cells, and (c) administering an effective amount of transduced cells to a subject. In some embodiments, cells are autologous to a subject. In some embodiments, cells are allogeneic to a subject. There are advantages of preparing transduced cells in vitro or ex vivo. First, existence and location of a transgene in a target cell genome can be verified before administering them to a patient, thereby avoiding interfering with cell functions or off target effects. This improves safety, even without the use of GSH. Second, transduced cells can be administered to a subject in need thereof without a virion. This can eliminate any concern for triggering immune response or inducing neutralizing antibodies that inactivate virion. Accordingly, transduced cells can be safely redosed or the dose can be titrated without any adverse effect.
(395) Among other things, in some embodiments, provided herein are methods of preventing or treating a disease comprising standard of care measures used for gene therapies described in the art. In some embodiments, a virion or population of virions, a pharmaceutical composition, or transduced cells described herein can induce an immune response in a subject. In some embodiments, provided herein are methods of preventing or treating a disease, comprising, among other things, co-administering to a subject (1) an immune suppressant and/or a prophylactic and (2) a virion or population of virions, a pharmaceutical composition, or transduced cells described herein to mitigate an immune response. In some embodiments, a disease is an exemplary disease described herein. In some embodiments, a disease is not an ocular disease. In some embodiments, an immune suppressant and/or a prophylactic is administered to a subject prior to administering to a subject a virion or population of virions, a pharmaceutical composition, or transduced cells. In some embodiments, an immune suppressant and/or a prophylactic is administered to a subject after administering to a subject a virion or population of virions, a pharmaceutical composition, or transduced cells. In some embodiments, an immune suppressant and/or a prophylactic is administered to a subject at the same time as administering to a subject a virion or population of virions, a pharmaceutical composition, or transduced cells.
(396) In some embodiments of any methods described herein, such methods may result in improvement in a disease described herein (e.g., any metrics for determining improvement in a disease described herein) in a subject in need thereof for at least 10 days, at least 15 days, at least 20 days, at least 25 days, at least 30 days, at least 35 days, at least 40 days, at least 45 days, at least 50 days, at least 55 days, at least 60 days, at least 65 days, at least 70 days, at least 75 days, at least 80 days, at least 85 days, at least 100 days, at least 105 days, at least 110 days, at least 115 days, at least 120 days, at least 5 months, at least 6 months, at least 7 months, at least 8 months, at least 9 months, at least 10 months, at least 11 months, or at least 12 months.
(397) In some embodiments, a virion, pharmaceutical composition, or transduced cells of the present disclosure are administered via intravascular, intracerebral, parenteral, intraperitoneal, intravenous, epidural, intraspinal, intrasternal, intra-articular, intra-synovial, intrathecal, intra-arterial, intracardiac, intramuscular, intranasal, intrapulmonary, skin graft, or oral administration.
(398) In some embodiments, provided herein are methods of preventing or treating a hemoglobinopathy, comprising: (a) administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a virion described herein, comprising a nucleic acid that encodes a hemoglobin subunit, or (b) obtaining erythroid-lineage cells or bone marrow cells from a subject in need thereof, transducing the cells with a virion described herein, comprising a nucleic acid that encodes a hemoglobin subunit, optionally further selecting or screening for transduced cells; and administering an effective amount of cells to a subject. In some embodiments, the hemoglobinopathy is beta-thalassemia or sickle cell disease.
(399) In some embodiments, provided herein are methods of preventing or treating a disease using a virion or pharmaceutical composition comprising a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide.
(400) As described herein, protoparvovirus transduces cells via its interaction with transferrin receptors (TfR) that are expressed on the target cells. It is an insight of the present disclosure that a mouse transferrin receptor is similar to a human transferrin receptor. In some embodiments, a target cell is a mouse cell comprising a human transferrin receptor. In some embodiments, preparations, constructs, virions, or population of virions described herein are administered to a mouse comprising a human transferrin receptor.
(401) TfR or CD71 is expressed in brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVECs) the major element of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) (Navone, Marfia et al. 2013 the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein). The blood-brain barrier (BBB) constitutes a primary limitation for passage of substances, both soluble and cellular, from the blood into the brain. CD71 has become an alternative to drive receptor specific transcystosis and deliver macromolecules such as antibodies to a brain parenchyma. Thus, protoparvovirus (e.g., CPV) can exploit the use of CD71 to translocate to a brain via systemic administration and transduce brain cells to prevent or treat different neurodegenerative disorders and neuromuscular disorders including but not limited to spinal muscular atrophy type 1, Huntington's disease, Canavan's disease, and lysosomal storage diseases. TfR or CD71 is also highly expressed in erythroid progenitor cells at early stage during differentiation and B lymphoblast cells. CD71 expression transiently overlap with CD34 expression in progenitor cells, before differentiation to lymphoid or erythroid lineages. Thus, protoparvovirus (e.g., CPV) can transduce stem cells and be used for T cells, B cells or NK cells derived therapies after differentiation from stem cells. Some of these uses are in cancer therapy, antimicrobial or autoimmunity related therapies. After HSC differentiation to myeloid progenitors lineage, CD71/TfR is highly expressed in basophilic Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (EBL), polychromatic erythroblast and orthochromatic erythroblasts during erythropoiesis, before the final step to produce non-nucleated erythrocytes, therefore protoparvovirus (e.g., CPV) compositions can be used for treatment or prevention of non-malignant hemoglobinopathies such as sickle cell disease by expressing anti-sickling versions of hemoglobin genes. In some embodiments, provided herein are methods of preventing or treating a disease using a virion comprising a variant VP1 capsid polypeptide or a variant thereof of a bufavirus, cutavirus, or tusavirus. Bufavirus, cutavirus, tusavirus, or a virion comprising a variant capsid polypeptide of any one of said viruses, has broad applications for gastrointestinal disorders and other target tissues. For instance, cutavirus has been isolated from skin samples in patients with cutaneous T cells lymphomas and melanomas, showing a tropism for T and B cells. Such tropism makes cutavirus attractive for gene transfer applications in lymphoid progenitor cells and subsequent applications (i) in differentiated T cells such as CAR-T and related cancer therapies, or (ii) in differentiated B cells and their applications to express therapeutic human antibodies against invading pathogens, tumor cells (e.g., tumor antigens or neoantigens), or chronic autoimmune disease.
(402) In some embodiments, a virion comprises a variant VP1 capsid polypeptide(s) of a cutavirus.

(423) In some embodiments, methods of preventing or treating a disease further include re-administering an additional amount of a virion, population of virions, preparation, composition, pharmaceutical composition, or transduced cells. In some embodiments, the re-administering an additional amount is performed after an attenuation in a treatment subsequent to administering an initial effective amount of a virion, pharmaceutical composition, or transduced cells. In some embodiments, an additional amount is the same as an initial effective amount. In some embodiments, an additional amount is more than an initial effective amount. In some embodiments, an additional amount is less than an initial effective amount.

(426) c. Methods of Delivering a Transgene to a Genomic Safe Harbor (GSH)
(427) Among other things, in some embodiments, the present disclosure provides for a method of delivering a transgene to a genomic safe harbor (GSH).
(428) Genomic safe harbors (GSH) are intragenic, intergenic, or extragenic regions of the human and model species genomes that are able to accommodate the predictable expression of newly integrated DNA without significant adverse effects on the host cell or organism. GSHs may comprise intronic or exonic gene sequences as well as intergenic or extragenic sequences. While not being limited to theory, a useful safe harbor must permit sufficient transgene expression to yield desired levels of the transgene-encoded protein or non-coding RNA. A GSH also should not predispose cells to malignant transformation, nor interfere with progenitor cell differentiation, nor significantly alter normal cellular functions. What distinguishes a GSH from a fortuitous good integration event is the predictability of outcome, which is based on prior knowledge and validation of a GSH.
(429) The larger genome size of a virion described herein allows delivery of a therapeutic transgene(s) together with GSH sequences, which is otherwise not possible with virions having a limited genome size, e.g., AAV. Accordingly, virions of the present disclosure not only facilitates delivery of a larger transgene compared with e.g., AAV, but also facilitates a safe delivery of a transgene by allowing codelivery of a GSH sequences that ensures predictable expression of a transgene without adverse effects on host cells. Exemplary GSHs that have been targeted for transgene addition include (i) the adeno-associated virus site 1 (AAVS1), a naturally occurring, non-germline, site of integration of AAV virus DNA on chromosome 19; (ii) chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5) gene, a chemokine receptor gene known as an HIV-1 coreceptor; (iii) human ortholog of the mouse Rosa26 locus, a locus extensively validated in the murine setting for the insertion of ubiquitously expressed transgenes; (iii) a T cell receptor locus (TCR), such as TCR alpha or TCR beta, and (iv) albumin in murine cells (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,951,925; 8,771,985; 8,110,379; and 7,951,925; U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 2010/0218264; 2011/0265198; 2013/0137104; 2013/0122591; 2013/0177983; 2013/0177960; 2015/0056705 and 2015/0159172; all of which are incorporated by reference). Additional GSHs include Kif6, Pax5, collagen, HTRP, HI 1 (a thymidine kinase encoding nucleic acid at HI 1 locus), beta-2 microglobulin, GAPDH, TCR, RUNX1, KLHL7, NUPL2 or an intergenic region thereof, mir684, KCNH2, GPNMB, MIR4540, MIR4475, MIR4476, PRL32P21, LOC105376031, LOC105376032, LOC105376030, MELK, EBLN3P, ZCCHC7, RNF38, or loci meeting the criteria of a genome safe harbor as described herein (see e.g., WO 2019/169233 A1, WO 2017/079673 A1; incorporated by reference). GSHs described herein provide a non-limiting representation of GSHs that can be used with virions described herein. The present disclosure contemplates use of any GSHs that are known in the art.
(430) In some embodiments, a GSH allows safe and targeted gene delivery that has limited off-target activity and minimal risk of genotoxicity, or causing insertional oncogenesis upon integration of foreign DNA, while being accessible to highly specific nucleases with minimal off-target activity.
(431) In some embodiments, a GSH has any one or more of the following properties: (i) outside a gene transcription unit; (ii) located between 5-50 kilobases (kb) away from the 5 end of any gene; (iii) located between 5-300 kb away from cancer-related genes; (iv) located 5-300 kb away from any identified microRNA; and (v) outside ultra-conserved regions and long noncoding RNAs. In some embodiments, a GSH locus has any or more of the following properties: (i) outside a gene transcription unit; (ii) located >50 kilobases (kb) from the 5 end of any gene; (iii) located >300 kb from cancer-related genes; (iv) located >300 kb from any identified microRNA; and (v) outside ultra-conserved regions and long noncoding RNAs. In studies of lentiviral construct integrations in transduced induced pluripotent stem cells, analysis of over 5,000 integration sites revealed that-17% of integrations occurred in safe harbors. Virions that integrated into these safe harbors were able to express therapeutic levels of -globin from their transgene without perturbing endogenous gene expression.
(432) In some embodiments, a GSH is AAVS1. AAVS1 was identified as the adeno-associated virus common integration site on chromosome 19 and is located in chromosome 19 (position 19ql3.42) and was primarily identified as a repeatedly recovered site of integration of wild-type AAV in the genome of cultured human cell lines that have been infected with AAV in vitro. Integration in the AAVS1 locus interrupts the gene phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 12C (PPP1R12C; also known as MBS85), which encodes a protein with a function that is not clearly delineated. The organismal consequences of disrupting one or both alleles of PPP1R12C are currently unknown. No gross abnormalities or differentiation deficits were observed in human and mouse pluripotent stem cells harboring transgenes targeted in AAVS1. Originally, AAV DNA integration into AAVS1 site was Rep-dependent, however, there are commercially available CRISPR/Cas9 reagents available for targeting which preserved the functionality of the targeted allele and maintained the expression of PPP1R12C at levels that are comparable to those in non-targeted cells. AAVS1 was also assessed using ZFN-mediated recombination into iPSCs or CD34+ cells.
(433) As originally characterized, the AAVS1 locus is >4 kb and is identified as chromosome 19 nucleotides 55,113,873-55,117,983 (human genome assembly GRCh38/hg38) and overlaps with exon 1 of the PPP1R12C gene that encodes protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 12C. This >4 kb region is extremely G+C nucleotide content rich and is a gene-rich region of particularly gene-rich chromosome 19 (see
(434) AAVS1 GSH was identified by characterizing an AAV provirus structure in latently infected human cell lines with recombinant bacteriophage genomic libraries generated from latently infected clonal cell lines (Detroit 6 clone 7374 IIID5) (Kotin and Berns 1989), Kotin et al, isolated non-viral, cellular DNA flanking the provirus and used a subset of left and right flanking DNA fragments as probes to screen panels of independently derived latently infected clonal cell lines. In approximately 70% of the clonal isolates, AAV DNA was detected with the cell-specific probe (Kotin et al. 1991; Kotin et al. 1990). Sequence analysis of the pre-integration site identified near homology to a portion of the AAV inverted terminal repeat (Kotin, Linden, and Beerns 1992). Although lacking the characteristic interrupted palindrome, the AAVS1 locus retained the Rep binding elements and terminal resolution sites homologous to the AAV ITR.
(435) Selection of the exonic integration site is non-obvious, and perhaps counter-intuitive, since insertion and expression of foreign DNA likely disrupts expression of endogenous genes. Apparently, insertion of an AAV genome into this locus does not adversely affect cell viability or iPSC differentiation (DeKelver et al. 2010; Wang et al. 2012; Zou et al. 2011). AAVS1 locus is within a 5 UTR of the highly conserved PPP1R12C gene. The Rep-dependent minimal origin of DNA synthesis is conserved in a 5UTR of a human, chimapanzee, and gorilla PPP1R12C gene. However, commercially available CRISPR/Cas9 reagents used for integrating DNA into AAVS1 target PPP1R12C intron 1 rather than an exon.
(436) In some embodiments, a GSH is any one of Kif6, Pax5, collagen, HTRP, HI 1, beta-2 microglobulin, GAPDH, TCR, RUNX1, KLHL7, an intergenic region of NUPL2, mir684, KCNH2, GPNMB, MIR4540, MIR4475, MIR4476, PRL32P21, LOC105376031, LOC105376032, LOC105376030, MELK, EBLN3P, ZCCHC7, and RNF38.
(437) In some embodiments, a GSH is a Pax 5 gene (also known as Paired Box 5, or B-cell lineage specific activator protein, or BSAP). In humans PAX5 is located on chromosome 9 at 9p 13.2 and has orthologues across many vertebrate species, including, human, chimp, macaque, mouse, rat, dog, horse, cow, pig, opossum, platypus, chicken, lizard, xenopus, C. elegans, drosophila and zebrafish. PAX5 gene is located at Chromosome 9:36, 833,275-37,034, 185 reverse strand (GRCh38: CM000671.2) or 36,833,272-37,034,182 in GRCh37 coordinates.

d. Methods of Integration into a Target Genome
(441) Among other things, in some embodiments, the present disclosure provides for a method of integration into a target genome.
(442) Integration to a target genome may be driven by cellular processes, such as homologous recombination or non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). Integration may also be initiated and/or facilitated by an exogenously introduced nuclease. In preferred embodiments, a nucleic acid packaged within a virion described herein is integrated to a specific locus within a genome, e.g., a GSH. In some embodiments, a GSH is any locus that permits sufficient transgene expression to yield desired levels of the transgene-encoded protein or non-coding RNA. A GSH also should not predispose cells to malignant transformation nor significantly alter normal cellular functions. Site-specific integration to a GSH may be mediated by a nucleic acid homologous to a GSH that is placed 5 and 3 to a nucleic acid to be integrated. Such homologous donor sequences may provide a template for homology-dependent repair that allows integration at the desired locus.
(443) In preferred embodiments, a virion described herein comprises a nucleic acid comprising a nucleic acid sequence that is at least about 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%, or 100% identical to a nucleic acid sequence of a genomic safe harbor (GSH) of a target cell. In some embodiments, said nucleic acid that is at least about 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%, or 100% identical to a GSH is placed 5 and 3 (homology arms) to a nucleic acid to be integrated, thereby allowing insertion (of a nucleic acid located between homology arms) to a specific locus in a target genome by homologous recombination. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid to be integrated is any one of a nucleic acids operably linked to a promoter described herein. In some embodiments, a GSH is AAVS1, ROSA26, CCR5, Kif6, Pax5, an intergenic region of NUPL2, collagen, HTRP, HI 1 (a thymidine kinase encoding nucleic acid at HI 1 locus), beta-2 microglobulin, GAPDH, TCR, RUNX1, KLHL7, mir684, KCNH2, GPNMB, MIR4540, MIR4475, MIR4476, PRL32P21, LOC105376031, LOC105376032, LOC105376030, MELK, EBLN3P, ZCCHC7, or RNF38. In some embodiments, a GSH is AAVS1, ROSA26, CCR5, Kif6, Pax5, or an intergenic region of NUPL2.
(444) In certain embodiments, a coding sequence of a virion is integrated into a genome of a target cell upon transduction. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid is integrated into a GSH or EVE.

In some embodiments, a GSH is AAVS1, ROSA26, CCR5, Kif6, Pax5, or an intergenic region of NUPL2. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid is integrated into a target genome by homologous recombination followed by a DNA break formation induced by an exogenously-introduced nuclease. In some embodiments, a nuclease is TALEN, ZEN, a meganuclease, a megaTAL, or a CRISPR endonuclease (e.g., a Cas9 endonuclease or a variant thereof). In some embodiments, a CRISPR endonuclease is in a complex with a guide RNA.
(445) In some embodiments, provided herein are methods of integrating a heterologous nucleic acid into a GSH in a cell, comprising: (a) transducing a cell with one or more virions described herein comprising a heterologous nucleic acid flanked at the 5 end and 3 end by a donor nucleic acid sequence that is at least about 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%, or 100% identical to the target GSH nucleic acid; or (b) transducing the cell with one or more virions described herein comprising (i) a heterologous nucleic acid flanked at a 5 end and 3 end by a donor nucleic acid sequence that is at least about 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%, or 100% identical to the target GSH nucleic acid, and (ii) a nucleic acid encoding a nuclease (e.g., Cas9 or a variant thereof, ZFN, TALEN) and/or a guide RNA, wherein a nuclease or the nuclease/gRNA complex makes a DNA break at a GSH, which is repaired using a donor nucleic acid, thereby integrating a heterologous nucleic acid at GSH. In some embodiments, (i) a heterologous nucleic acid flanked by a donor nucleic acid that is at least about 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%, or 100% identical to a target GSH nucleic acid and (ii) a nucleic acid encoding a nuclease and/or the gRNA are transduced in separate virions. In some embodiments, a GSH is AAVS1, ROSA26, CCR5, Kif6, Pax5, an intergenic region of NUPL2, collagen, HTRP, HI 1 (a thymidine kinase encoding nucleic acid at HI 1 locus), beta-2 microglobulin, GAPDH, TCR, RUNX1, KLHL7, mir684, KCNH2, GPNMB, MIR4540, MIR4475, MIR4476, PRL32P21, LOC105376031, LOC105376032, LOC105376030, MELK, EBLN3P, ZCCHC7, or RNF38. In some embodiments, a GSH is AAVS1, ROSA26, CCR5, Kif6, Pax5, or an intergenic region of NUPL2.
(446) For integration of a nucleic acid located between the 5 and 3 homology arms, the 5 and 3 homology arms should be long enough for targeting to a GSH and allow (e.g., guide) integration into a genome by homologous recombination. To increase the likelihood of integration at a precise location and enhance probability of homologous recombination, the 5 and 3 homology arms may include a sufficient number of nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the 5 and 3 homology arms may include at least 10 base pairs but no more than 5,000 base pairs, at least 50 base pairs but no more than 5,000 base pairs, at least 100 base pairs but no more than 5,000 base pairs, at least 200 base pairs but no more than 5,000 base pairs, at least 250 base pairs but no more than 5,000 base pairs, or at least 300 base pairs but no more than 5,000 base pairs.

Detailed information regarding length of homology arms and recombination frequency is art-known, see e.g., Zhang et al. Efficient precise knock in with a double cut HDR donor after CRISPR/Cas9-mediated double-stranded DNA cleavage. Genome biology 18.1 (2017): 35, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
(447) 5 and 3 homology arms may be any sequence that is homologous with a GSH target sequence in a genome of a host cell. In some embodiments, 5 and 3 homology arms may be homologous to portions of a GSH described herein. Furthermore, 5 and 3 homology arms may be non-coding or coding nucleotide sequences.
(448) In some embodiments, a 5 and/or 3 homology arms can be homologous to a sequence immediately upstream and/or downstream of the integration or DNA cleavage site on the chromosome. Alternatively, the 5 and/or 3 homology arms can be homologous to a sequence that is distant from the integration or DNA cleavage site, such as at least 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 75,100,125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450, 475, 500 or more base pairs away from the integration or DNA cleavage site, or partially or completely overlapping with a DNA cleavage site (e.g., can be a DNA break induced by an exogenously-introduced nuclease). In some embodiments, a 3 homology arm of the nucleotide sequence is proximal to an ITR.
(449) 4. Administration
(450) Provided herein are technologies comprising, among other things, therapeutic delivery systems for treating a disease or disorder. In some embodiments the present disclosure provides compositions that are part of or comprise at least one construct, e.g., viral construct, e.g., a protoparvovirus variant VP1 construct. In some such embodiments, a composition comprises a virion. In some embodiments, a virion comprises a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide.
(451) a. Routes of Administration
(452) In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides various routes of and formulations for administration. As will be known to one of skill in the art, pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. Dispersions may also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof and in oils.
(453) Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent growth of microorganisms. In many cases the form is sterile and fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against contaminating action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. In some embodiments, a carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and/or vegetable oils. Proper fluidity may be maintained, for example, by use of a coating, such as lecithin, by maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by use of surfactants. Prevention of action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride.
(454) Prolonged absorption of injectable compositions can be brought about use in compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin. For administration of an injectable aqueous solution, for example, a solution may be suitably buffered, if necessary, and a liquid diluent first rendered isotonic with sufficient saline or glucose. Aqueous solutions are especially suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and intraperitoneal administration. In this connection, a sterile aqueous medium that can be employed will be known to those of skill in the art. For example, one dosage may be dissolved in 1 ml of isotonic NaCl solution and either added to 1000 ml of hypodermoclysis fluid or injected at a proposed site of infusion, (see for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 15th Edition, pages 1035-1038 and 1570-1580, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). Some variation in dosage will necessarily occur depending on condition of a host. A person responsible for administration will, in any event, determine an appropriate dose for an individual host.
(455) In some embodiments, sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating active virion in a required amount in an appropriate solvent with various other ingredients enumerated herein, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle which contains basic dispersion medium and required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for preparation of sterile injectable solutions, in some embodiments, preferred methods of preparation are vacuum-drying and freeze-drying techniques which yield a powder of active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.
(456) In some embodiments, virion compositions disclosed herein may also be formulated in a neutral or salt form. Pharmaceutically-acceptable salts, include acid addition salts (formed with free amino groups of a given protein) and which are formed with inorganic acids such as, for example, hydrochloric or phosphoric acids, or such organic acids as acetic, oxalic, tartaric, mandelic, and the like. Salts formed with free carboxyl groups can also be derived from inorganic bases such as, for example, sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, or ferric hydroxides, and such organic bases as isopropylamine, trimethylamine, histidine, procaine and the like. Upon formulation, solutions can be administered in a manner compatible with the dosage formulation and in such amount as is therapeutically effective. Formulations are easily administered in a variety of dosage forms such as injectable solutions, drug-release capsules, and the like.
(457) Delivery vehicles such as liposomes, nanocapsules, microparticles, microspheres, lipid particles, vesicles, and the like, may be used for introduction of compositions of the present disclosure into suitable host cells. In particular, in some embodiments, virion-construct delivered transgenes may be formulated for delivery either encapsulated in a lipid particle, a liposome, a vesicle, a nanosphere, or a nanoparticle or the like.
(458) Such formulations may be preferred for introduction of pharmaceutically acceptable formulations of nucleic acids or virion constructs disclosed herein. Formation and use of liposomes is generally known to those of skill in the art. Recently, liposomes were developed with improved serum stability and circulation half-times (U.S. Pat. No. 5,741,516, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference). Further, various methods of liposome and liposome like preparations as potential drug carriers have been described (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,567,434; 5,552,157; 5,565,213; 5,738,868 and 5,795,587, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference).
(459) Liposomes have been used successfully with a number of cell types that are normally resistant to transfection by other procedures. In addition, liposomes are free of DNA length constraints that are typical of viral-based delivery systems. Liposomes have been used effectively to introduce genes, drugs, radiotherapeutic agents, viruses, transcription factors and allosteric effectors into a variety of cultured cell lines and animals. In addition, several successful clinical trials examining efficacy of liposome-mediated drug delivery have been completed.
(460) Liposomes are formed from phospholipids that are dispersed in an aqueous medium and spontaneously form multilamellar concentric bilayer vesicles (also termed multilamellar vesicles (MLVs). MLVs generally have diameters of from 25 nm to 4 Tm. Sonication of MLVs results in formation of small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) with diameters in a range of approximately 200 to 500.ANG., containing an aqueous solution in the core.
(461) Alternatively, nanocapsule formulations of a virion may be used. Nanocapsules can generally entrap substances in a stable and reproducible way. To avoid side effects due to intracellular polymeric overloading, such ultrafine particles (sized around 0.1 Tm) should be designed using polymers able to be degraded in vivo. Biodegradable polyalkyl-cyanoacrylate nanoparticles that meet these requirements are contemplated for use.
(462) In addition to methods of delivery described above, the following techniques are also contemplated as alternative methods of delivering a virion to a host. Sonophoresis (i.e., ultrasound) has been used and described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,656,016, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference, as a device for enhancing the rate and efficacy of drug permeation into and through a circulatory system. Other drug delivery alternatives contemplated are intraosseous injection (U.S. Pat. No. 5,779,708, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference), microchip devices (U.S. Pat. No. 5,797,898, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference), ophthalmic formulations (Bourlais et al., 1998, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference), transdermal matrices (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,770,219 and 5,783,208, each of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference) and feedback-controlled delivery (U.S. Pat. No. 5,697,899, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference).
(463) In some embodiments, administration of any compositions of the present disclosure may be carried out in any convenient manner, including by aerosol inhalation, injection, ingestion, transfusion, implantation or transplantation. Compositions described herein may be administered to a patient trans arterially, subcutaneously, intradermally, intranodally, intramedullary, intramuscularly, by intravenous (i.v.) injection, or intraperitoneally. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid composition of the present disclosure is administered to a patient by intradermal or subcutaneous injection. In some embodiments, a nucleic composition of the present disclosure is administered by i.v. injection.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Alignments of Protoparvovirus VP1 Capsid Amino Acid Sequences Across Exemplary Protoparvovirus Species Showed Significant Conservation of a Splice Variant that Eliminates a Stretch of Amino Acid Residues within a Protoparvovirus VP1 Capsid Polypeptide
(492) The present example identifies significantly conserved characteristic sequence elements within a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide (e.g., within a VP1 unique region (VP1u)).
(493) Expression of protoparvovirus capsid polypeptides in host cell systems, including baculovirus-Sf9 systems, is challenging due to cell toxicity. Without wishing to be bound to any theory, cell toxicity may be due to protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide retention in cell cytoplasm, which can result in protein aggregation and subsequent toxicity as described herein.

(495) The present disclosure recognizes that an adjacent splice donor sequence and a splice acceptor sequence occurs downstream of a conserved NLS and upstream of a conserved PLA2 within this region that results in deletion of a conserved amino acid motif (see
(496) Accordingly, without wishing to be bound to any theory, it is an insight of the present example that protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide toxicity can be reduced by engineering compositions, preparations, constructs, virions, population of virions, and host cells comprising a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide as described herein.
Example 2: A Protoparvovirus Variant VP1 Capsid Polypeptide in Host Cells Exhibited Increased Potency and Reduced Toxicity in Host Cells
(497) The present example provides exemplary compositions, preparations, constructs, virions, population of virions, and host cells for gene therapy and related methods that show increased potency and reduced toxicity in host cells as described herein.
(498) Virions comprising a CPV reference VP1 capsid polypeptide encoded by a CPV reference VP1 capsid coding sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 126) were generated and tested in host cells according to standard protocols. As shown in
(499) An exemplary construct comprising deletion of a five amino acid motif (LVPPG-SEQ ID NO: 1) immediately downstream of a NLS within the CPV VP1 capsid polypeptide (e.g., a construct according to SEQ ID NO: 121) was designed and tested in host cells according to standard protocols. As described by Example 1, this deleted region is conserved across other protoparvovirus species. As shown in
(500) Accordingly, in some embodiments, the present example demonstrates a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptides described herein increases potency and reduces toxicity of exemplary virions comprising a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide in host cells.
Example 3: Exemplary Constructs Comprising a Protoparvovirus Variant VP1 Capsid Polypeptide in a Host Cell Increased VP1 Initiation Relative to a Protoparvovirus Reference VP1 Capsid Polypeptide
(501) The present example demonstrates that modifications and/or selections of components of constructs encoding a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide or protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide described herein, can increase VP1 initiation in host cells. Moreover, the present example demonstrates that modifications and/or selections of components of constructs encoding a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide or protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide described herein, can increase potency in host cells.
(502)
(503) In some embodiments, selection of an expression control sequence having certain components can improve production of a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide. In some embodiments, selection of an expression control sequence having certain characteristics can reduce toxicity of a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide. In some embodiments a characteristic is strong expression. In some embodiments a characteristic is weak expression. In some embodiments a characteristic is delayed expression. In some embodiments a characteristic is early expression.
(504) For example, polyhedrin is an exemplary expression control sequence that can initiate strong and/or late expression of a VP1 capsid polypeptide. As another example, P10 is an exemplary expression control sequence that can initiate strong and/or late expression of a VP1 capsid polypeptide. Moreover, OpiE1 is an exemplary expression control sequence that can initiate weak and/or early expression of a VP1 capsid polypeptide.
(505) Among other things, the present example recognizes that selection of a 5 UTR sequence can improve production and/or reduce toxicity of a VP1 capsid polypeptide. In some embodiments, a 5UTR sequence is a stretch of nucleotides between an expression control sequence and a VP1 capsid coding sequence (referred to herein as a nucleotide spacer sequence).
(506) In some embodiments, a 5UTR sequence comprises a nucleotide spacer sequence. In some embodiments, a 5 UTR sequence comprises a nucleotide spacer sequence that does not comprise an alternative translation initiation sequence (e.g., so translation does not start before a VP1 capsid coding sequence). In some embodiments, a 5 UTR sequence comprises a nucleotide spacer sequence and a Kozak consensus sequence. In some embodiments, a 5 UTR sequence does not comprise a nucleotide spacer sequence. In some embodiments, there is no nucleotide spacer sequence between an expression control sequence and a VP1 capsid coding sequence.
(507) In some embodiments, a 5 UTR sequence comprises a nucleotide spacer sequence as shown in Table 6.

(509) In some embodiments, a Kozak sequence comprises a eukaryotic (GCCGCC - - - G), viral-derived (CCTGTTAAG), or alternate sequence (AAA).
(510) In some embodiments, a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide construct comprises an alternative translation initiation sequence such as CTG, ATC, TTG and ACG.
(511) Moreover, the present example describes that leaky scanning of an mRNA sequence for expression of VP1, VP2, and VP3 capsid polypeptides in a suitable ratio, for example, a VP1: VP2: VP3 ratio of 1:1:10, can result in alternate initiation of a VP1 capsid polypeptide. As described by this Example, alternative initiation of a VP1 capsid polypeptide leads to a longer or shorter VP1 capsid polypeptide which can negatively impact virion potency, as shown in
(512) Accordingly, in some embodiments, the present disclosure describes compositions, preparations, constructs, virions, population of virions, and host cells comprising a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide can exhibit increased VP1 initiation relative to a reference VP1 capsid polypeptide.
Example 4: Increased AAV Genome Trans-Encapsidation Generates a High Filled/Empty Capsid Ratio in a Host System
(513) The present example demonstrates that modifications and/or selections of components of constructs encoding a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide or protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide described herein, can increase AAV genome trans-encapsidation within a protoparvovirus variant VP1 capsid polypeptide in host cells.
(514) Parvovirus non-structural proteins play a key role in different steps of a virus life cycle, from DNA replication and transcription regulation to genome packaging. While an N-terminus region of a full-length NS (e.g., Rep78 in AAVs or NS1 in autonomous parvoviruses) participates in genome replication, recognizing the viral genome in a sequence-specific manner, a C-terminus region (e.g., Rep 52/40 in AAVs) contains an SF3 helicase domain. A SF3 helicase domain acts as a motor to incorporate a viral genome into a preformed capsid, as shown in
(515) In view of functional co-evolution of parvovirus NS proteins and respective capsids, it is an insight of the present disclosure that co-expression of the C-terminus region of a NS protein from a cognate autonomous protoparvovirus provides a more efficient NS-capsid interaction, thus improving packaging of an AAV-derived genome (e.g., a transgene) into a respective capsid via a helicase domain, in a sequence-independent manner.
(516) Accordingly, in some embodiments, the present disclosure describes compositions, preparations, constructs, virions, population of virions, and host cells can exhibit increased encapsidation via co-expression of NS1.
Example 5: Exemplary Virions Comprising a Parvovirus VP1 Capsid Polypeptide Produced in Host HEK293 Cells
(517) The present Example confirms that exemplary compositions, preparations, nucleotide sequences, and methods described herein can be used to produce virions comprising a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid polypeptide in mammalian host cells e.g., HEK293 cells.
(518) As shown in

(521)
(522)
(523) Therefore, the data shown in
(524) The present Example can be used with other protoparvovirus capsid polypeptides beyond CPV and CuV capsid polypeptides as described herein.

Moreover, the present Example confirms that virions comprising an exemplary CPV VP1 capsid polypeptide as described herein can be produced in mammalian cells. Moreover, the present Example confirms that virions comprising an exemplary CuV VP1 capsid polypeptide as described herein can be produced in mammalian cells.
Example 6: Exemplary Virions Comprising a CPV Capsid Interact with a Transferrin Receptor
(526) The present Example provides exemplary compositions, preparations, constructs, virions, population of virions, which can interact with a transferrin receptor (TfR). In particular, for instance, the present Example demonstrates that a protoparvovirus VP1 capsid coding sequence encoding a VP1 capsid polypeptide sequence as described herein produced virions that were efficiently transduced into human neuroblastoma (e.g., SH-SY-5Y) cells and human kidney (e.g., HEK293T) cells.
(527) Virions comprising a CPV VP1 capsid polypeptide encoded by a VP1 capsid coding sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 126 (Exemplary CPV Construct 1) produced in HEK293T cells via triple transfection showed transduction of human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y cells and kidney cell line HEK293T cells, as shown in
(528) Accordingly, the present Example confirms that exemplary compositions, preparations, constructs, virions, and population of cells comprising recombinant virions can be produced in mammalian host cells. Moreover, the present Example confirms transduction of the described virions in human cells. The present Example also confirms that virions comprising an exemplary CPV VP1 capsid polypeptide as described herein can transduce mammalian cells as described herein.
