Abstract: Provided herein are CRISPR:guide systems comprising Class 2 Type V polypeptides (e.g. CasX:gNA systems comprising CasX polypeptides), guide nucleic acids (gNA), and optionally donor template nucleic acids useful in the modification of a HTT gene. The systems are also useful for introduction into cells, for example eukaryotic cells having mutations in the huntingtin protein. Also provided are methods of using such systems to modify cells having such mutations and utility in methods of treatment of a subject with a HTT-related disease, such as Huntington's disease.

Abstract: Provided herein are engineered proteins comprising a RuvC DNA cleavage domain comprising one or more amino acid modifications, and one or more improved characteristics, relative to a naturally occurring RuvC domain. Also provided are gene editing systems comprising engineered proteins, and methods for use thereof.

Abstract: Provided herein are Class 2 Type V CRISPR:gNA systems comprising Class 2 Type V CRISPR polypeptides (e.g. CasX), guide nucleic acids (gNA), and optionally donor template nucleic acids useful in the modification of a RHO gene. The systems are also useful for introduction into cells, for example eukaryotic cells having mutations in the rhodopsin protein. Also provided are methods of using such systems to modify cells having such mutations and utility in methods of treatment of a subject with a RHO-related disease, such as retinitis pigmentosa.

Abstract: Provided herein are CasX:gNA systems comprising CasX polypeptides, guide nucleic acids (gNA), and optionally donor template nucleic acids useful in the modification of a SOD1 gene. The systems are also useful for introduction into cells, for example eukaryotic cells having mutations in the SOD1 protein or the SOD1 regulatory element. Also provided are methods of using such CasX:gNA systems to modify cells having such mutations and utility in methods of treatment of a subject with a SOD1-related disease.

Abstract: Provided herein are engineered CasX systems and components thereof, including variant CasX proteins and variant guide nucleic acids (gNAs). The variant CasX proteins and variant gNAs of the disclosure display at least one improved characteristic when compared to a reference CasX protein or reference gNA of the disclosure. In some instances, the variants have one or more improved CasX ribonucleoprotein complex functions. Also provided are methods of making and using said variants.

Abstract: A method for producing an assembly of at least one dairy protein and at least one vegetable protein, and the assembly obtained by the method. Also, the uses of the assembly, in particular in the food processing field.

Abstract: Provided herein are engineered proteins. In some embodiments, the engineered proteins comprise a RuvC DNA cleavage domain comprising one or more modifications, relative to a naturally occurring domain. In some embodiments, the engineered proteins comprise a chimeric domain, for example a chimeric helical I domain. In some embodiments, the engineered proteins are chimeric proteins, comprising at least two domains, each domain derived from a different source, for example derived from SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2. Also provided are systems comprising these engineered proteins, and methods of making and using said engineered proteins.
