Abstract: The specificity of binding of a zinc finger to a triplet or quadruplet nucleotide target subsite depends upon the location of the zinc finger in a multifinger protein and, hence, upon the location of its target subsite within a larger target sequence. The present disclosure provides zinc finger amino acid sequences for recognition of triplet target subsites having the nucleotide G in the 5?-most position of the subsite, that have been optimized with respect to the location of the subsite within the target site. Accordingly, the disclosure provides finger position-specific amino acid sequences for the recognition of GNN target subsites. This allows the construction of multi-finger zinc finger proteins with improved affinity and specificity for their target sequences, as well as enhanced biological activity.

Abstract: Provided herein are a variety of methods and compositions for regulating angiogenesis, such methods and compositions being useful in a variety of applications where modulation of vascular formation is useful, including, but not limited to, treatments for ischemia and wound healing.

Abstract: The invention provides criteria and methods for selecting optimum subsequence(s) from a target gene for targeting by a zinc finger protein. Some of the methods of target site selection seek to identify one or more target segments having a DNA motif containing one or more so-called D-able subsites having the sequence 5?NNGK3?. Other methods of the invention are directed to selection of target segments within target genes using a correspondence regime between different triplets of three bases and the three possible positions of a triplet within a nine-base site. In another aspect, the invention provides methods of designing zinc finger proteins that bind to a preselected target site. These methods can be used following the preselection of target sites according to the procedures and criteria described above. The methods of design use a database containing information about previously characterized zinc finger proteins.
