  • Publication number: 20230357766
    Abstract: The disclosure provides modified pegRNAs comprising one or more appended nucleotide structural motifs which increase the editing efficiency during prime editing, increase half-life in vivo, and increase lifespan in a cell. Modifications include, but are not limited to, an aptamer (e.g., prequeosim-1 riboswitch aptamer or “evopreQi-1”) or a variant thereof, a pseudoknot (the MMLV viral genome pseudoknot or “Mpknot-1”) or a variant thereof, a tRNA (e.g., the modified tRNA used by MMLV as a primer for reverse transcription) or a variant thereof, or a G-quadruplex or a variant thereof. The disclosure further provides prime editor complexes comprising the modified pegRNAs and having improved characteristics and/or performance, including stability, improved cellular lifespan, and improved editing efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10080431
    Abstract: An outdoor telecommunications equipment enclosure includes a dome, a base for receiving the dome, and a slide lock assembly for coupling the dome to the base. The slide lock assembly includes a housing coupled to one of the dome and the base and defining a channel and a slider positioned within the channel. The slider is moveable between a retracted position and an extended position for engaging the other one of the dome and the base. In one example embodiment, one of the slider and the housing includes multiple protrusions in contact with the other one of the slider and the housing. The protrusions inhibit surface contact between the slider and the housing. In another example embodiment, the slide lock assembly includes a gasket, seal and/or plug to inhibit ingress of debris into the slide lock assembly.
