  • Publication number: 20240101975
    Abstract: Antibodies that include a sulfatase motif-containing tag in a constant region of an immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain polypeptide are disclosed. The sulfatase motif can be converted by a formylglycine-generating enzyme (FGE) to produce a formylglycine (fGly)-modified Ig light chain polypeptide. An fGly-modified Ig light chain polypeptide of the antibody can be covalently and site-specifically bound to a moiety of interest to provide an antibody conjugate. The disclosure also encompasses methods of production of such tagged Ig light chain polypeptides, fGly-modified Ig light chain polypeptides, and antibody conjugates, as well as methods of use of same.

  • Publication number: 20230374502
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods that utilize Acr proteins with CRISPR Cas proteins to achieve a balance in which Cas proteins retain activity to perform on-target nucleic acid targeting functions (e.g., DNA cleavage for gene editing applications), but are inhibited by one or more Acr proteins to a degree that decreases off-target activity—thus resulting in an increased ratio of on-target to off-target nucleic acid targeting events. For example, provided is a system that includes one or more nucleic acids that comprise: a first nucleotide sequence encoding a Cas effector protein and a second nucleotide sequence encoding an Acr protein, wherein the first, second or both nucleotide sequences are operably linked to a translational control element.
