Abstract: Certain embodiments provide a fusion protein comprising an iduronate 2-sulfatase (IDS) amino acid sequence, an IDS variant amino acid sequence, or a catalytically active fragment thereof; and an anti-transferrin receptor (TfR) antibody as described herein, as well as methods of use thereof.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to strategies, systems, methods, compositions, and kits that are useful for production (e.g., evolution) of cytidine deaminase protein variants that are characterized by increased soluble expression and/or stability relative to the wild-type cytidine deaminase protein from which they are evolved. In some embodiments, evolved cytidine deaminase variants described by the disclosure are useful for incorporation into targeted nucleic acid editing proteins, for example in fusion proteins with a Cas9 domain or variant thereof.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to systems, apparatuses, compositions (e.g., isolated nucleic acids and vectors), and methods for improving the stability and/or solubility of proteins evolved using phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE). In some embodiments, vectors described herein comprise nucleic acids encoding selection systems (e.g., positive and/or negative selection systems) that link expression of genes required for production of infectious phage particles to a desirable physiochemical (e.g., stability or solubility) and/or desired function of an evolved protein.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure provide strategies, systems, reagents, methods, and kits that are useful for engineering Cas9 and Cas9 variants that have increased activity on target sequences that do not contain the canonical PAM sequence. In some embodiments, fusion proteins comprising such Cas9 variants and nucleic acid editing domains, e.g., deaminase domains, are also provided.
