  • Publication number: 20230193242
    Abstract: Embodiments herein include engineered CRISPR-Cas effector proteins that comprise at least one modification compared to an unmodified CRISPR-Cas effector protein (e.g., C2c1) that enhances binding of the of the CRISPR complex to the binding site and/ or alters editing preference as compared to wild type. Embodiments disclosed further include viral vectors for delivery of CRISPR-Cas effector proteins. The vectors may be designed to allow packaging of the CRISPR-Cas effector protein within a single vector. Certain embodiments further include delivery vectors, constructs, and methods of delivering larger genes for systemic delivery.
