Description

WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 GENOME EDITING COMPOSITIONS TARGETING THE B2M GENE AND METHODS OF USE CROSS REFERENCE [0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/502,563, filed May 16, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/603,477, filed November 28, 2023, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
BACKGROUND [0002]Cell therapies provide potential treatment approaches for multiple diseases, including cancers, autoimmune diseases, and hematological disorders. For example, adoptive T cell therapy can involve the ex vivo manipulation of T cells to express T-cell receptors (TCRs) or chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) engineered to recognize a tumor specific antigen. Cell therapy can involve autologous (i.e. patient-derived) cells, e.g., T cells or hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which can avoid issues of immunogenicity and intolerance upon reintroduction of the ex vivo manipulated cells. However, manufacturing challenges (e.g., time, expense, poor quality/quantity of extracted T cells) for autologous cell therapies make allogeneic (i.e. donor-derived) therapies an attractive alternative. An obstacle to allogeneic cell therapies is expression of endogenous proteins on cell surface that affect compatibility of donor-derived cells. For example, human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) on the surface of allogeneic T cells or HSCs may result in rejection by the host immune system, leading to graft dysfunction and failure. While cells from HLA matched donors and immunosuppression regimens could reduce the risk of host rejection, the former is often unavailable, and the latter has significant side effects such as increased risk of infection. [0003]The human HLA proteins are heterodimers composed of an a chain encoded by variant HLA genes and a 0 chain encoded by the 0-2 microglobulin (B2M) gene. The B2M gene is located at human genome 15q.21.1 and encodes a mRNA of approximately 360 bases. Because the 0 chain is required for dimerization and structure of the HLA complex, disruption of the endogenous HLA can be achieved by knocking out or knocking down expression of the B2M gene. Therefore, the effect of allograft rejection is expected to be reduced or eliminated by genetically modifying the B2M gene to reduce or eliminate its expression. [0004]Programmable nucleases such as CRISPR-Cas9 make double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) that can disrupt genes by inducing mixtures of insertions and deletions (indels) at WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 target sites. DSBs, however, are associated with undesired outcomes, including complex mixtures of products and translocations. There is a need in the art for compositions and methods to precisely disrupt the B2M gene without introducing DSBs.

In some embodiments, the human subject has a disease, disorder, or a condition, e.g., a cancer, a microbial infection, or an autoimmune disorder.. In some embodiments, the human subject is in need of, or is undergoing, or will be undergoing an immune cell immunotherapy (e.g., a T cell therapy such as a CAR-T cell therapy). [0113]The term "substantially " as used herein may refer to a value approaching 100% of a given value. In some embodiments, the term may refer to an amount that may be at least about 70%, 80%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9%, or 99.99% of a total amount. In some embodiments, the term may refer to an amount that may be about 100% of a total amount. [0114]The terms "protein " and "polypeptide " can be used interchangeably to refer to a polymer of two or more amino acids joined by covalent bonds (e.g, an amide bond) that can adopt a three-dimensional conformation. In some embodiments, a protein or polypeptide comprises at least 10 amino acids, 15 amino acids, 20 amino acids, 30 amino acids or amino acids joined by covalent bonds (e.g, amide bonds). In some embodiments, a protein comprises at least two amide bonds. In some embodiments, a protein comprises multiple amide bonds. In some embodiments, a protein comprises an enzyme, enzyme precursor proteins, regulatory protein, structural protein, receptor, nucleic acid binding protein, a biomarker, a member of a specific binding pair (e.g, a ligand or aptamer), or an antibody. In some embodiments, a protein may be a full-length protein (e.g, a fully processed protein having certain biological function). In some embodiments, a protein may be a variant or a fragment of a full-length protein. For example, in some embodiments, a Cas9 protein domain comprises an H840A amino acid substitution compared to a naturally occurring 8. pyogenes Cas9 protein. A variant of a protein or enzyme, for example a variant reverse transcriptase, comprises a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that is about 60% identical, about 70% identical, about 80% identical, about 90% identical, about 95% identical, about 96% identical, about 97% identical, about 98% identical, about 99% identical, about 99.5% identical, or about 99.9% identical to the amino acid sequence of a reference protein. [0115]In some embodiments, a protein comprises one or more protein domains or subdomains. As used herein, the term "polypeptide domain ", "protein domain ", or "domain " when used in the context of a protein or polypeptide, refers to a polypeptide chain that has one or more biological functions, e.g, a catalytic function, a protein-protein binding function, or a protein-DNA function. In some embodiments, a protein comprises multiple protein WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 domains. In some embodiments, a protein comprises multiple protein domains that are naturally occurring. In some embodiments, a protein comprises multiple protein domains from different naturally occurring proteins. For example, in some embodiments, a prime editor may be a fusion protein comprising a Cas9 protein domain of 8. pyogenes and a reverse transcriptase protein domain of a retrovirus (e.g., a Moloney murine leukemia virus) or a variant of the retrovirus. A protein that comprises amino acid sequences from different origins or naturally occurring proteins may be referred to as a fusion, or chimeric protein. [0116]In some embodiments, a protein comprises a functional variant or functional fragment of a full-length wild-type protein. A "functional fragment " or "functional portion ", as used herein, refers to any portion of a reference protein (e.g, a wild-type protein) that encompasses less than the entire amino acid sequence of the reference protein while retaining one or more of the functions, e.g, catalytic or binding functions. For example, a functional fragment of a reverse transcriptase may encompass less than the entire amino acid sequence of a wild-type reverse transcriptase, but retains the ability under at least one set of conditions to catalyze the polymerization of a polynucleotide. When the reference protein is a fusion of multiple functional domains, a functional fragment thereof may retain one or more of the functions of at least one of the functional domains. For example, a functional fragment of a Cas9 may encompass less than the entire amino acid sequence of a wild-type Cas9, but retains its DNA binding ability and lacks its nuclease activity partially or completely. [0117]A "functional variant " or "functional mutant ", as used herein, refers to any variant or mutant of a reference protein (e.g, a wild-type protein) that encompasses one or more alterations to the amino acid sequence of the reference protein while retaining one or more of the functions, e.g, catalytic or binding functions. In some embodiments, the one or more alterations to the amino acid sequence comprises amino acid substitutions, insertions or deletions, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the one or more alterations to the amino acid sequence comprises amino acid substitutions. For example, a functional variant of a reverse transcriptase may comprise one or more amino acid substitutions compared to the amino acid sequence of a wild-type reverse transcriptase, but retains the ability under at least one set of conditions to catalyze the polymerization of a polynucleotide. When the reference protein is a fusion of multiple functional domains, a functional variant thereof may retain one or more of the functions of at least one of the functional domains. For example, in some embodiments, a functional fragment of a Cas9 may comprise one or more amino acid substitutions in a nuclease domain, e.g, an H840A amino acid substitution, WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 compared to the amino acid sequence of a wild type Cas9, but retains the DNA binding ability and lacks the nuclease activity partially or completely. [0118]The term "function " and its grammatical equivalents as used herein may refer to a capability of operating, having, or serving an intended purpose. Functional may comprise any percent from baseline to 100% of an intended purpose. For example, functional may comprise or comprise about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or up to about 100% of an intended purpose. In some embodiments, the term functional may mean over or over about 100% of normal function, for example, 125%, 150%, 175%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 600%, 700% or up to about 1000% of an intended purpose. [0119]In some embodiments, a protein or polypeptides includes naturally occurring amino acids (e.g, one of the twenty amino acids commonly found in peptides synthesized in nature, and known by the one letter abbreviations A, R, N, C, D, Q, E, G, H, I, L, K, M, F, P, S, T, W, Y and V). In some embodiments, a protein or polypeptides includes non-naturally occurring amino acids (e.g, amino acids which is not one of the twenty amino acids commonly found in peptides synthesized in nature, including synthetic amino acids, amino acid analogs, and amino acid mimetics). In some embodiments, a protein or polypeptide is modified. [0120]In some embodiments, a protein comprises an isolated polypeptide. The term "isolated " means free or removed to varying degrees from components which normally accompany it as found in the natural state or environment. For example, a polypeptide naturally present in a living animal is not isolated, and the same polypeptide partially or completely separated from the coexisting materials of its natural state is isolated. [0121]In some embodiments, a protein is present within a cell, a tissue, an organ, or a virus particle. In some embodiments, a protein is present within a cell or a part of a cell (e.g, a bacteria cell, a plant cell, or an animal cell). In some embodiments, the cell is in a tissue, in a subject, or in a cell culture. In some embodiments, the cell is a microorganism (e.g, a bacterium, fungus, protozoan, or virus). In some embodiments, a protein is present in a mixture of analytes (e.g, a lysate). In some embodiments, the protein is present in a lysate from a plurality of cells or from a lysate of a single cell. [0122]The terms "homologous, " "homology, " or "percent homology " as used herein refer to the degree of sequence identity between an amino acid and a corresponding reference amino acid sequence or a polynucleotide sequence and a corresponding reference polynucleotide WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 sequence. "Homology " can refer to polymeric sequences, e.g., polypeptide or DNA sequences that are similar. Homology can mean, for example, nucleic acid sequences with at least about: 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% identity. In other embodiments, a "homologous sequence " of nucleic acid sequences may exhibit 93%, 95% or 98% sequence identity to the reference nucleic acid sequence. For example, a "region of homology to a genomic region " can be a region of DNA that has a similar sequence to a given genomic region in the genome. A region of homology can be of any length that is sufficient to promote binding of a spacer, a primer binding site or protospacer sequence to the genomic region. For example, the region of homology can comprise at least 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800, 2900, 3000, 31or more bases in length such that the region of homology has sufficient homology to undergo binding with the corresponding genomic region. [0123]When a percentage of sequence homology or identity is specified, in the context of two nucleic acid sequences or two polypeptide sequences, the percentage of homology or identity generally refers to the alignment of two or more sequences across a portion of their length when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence. When a position in the compared sequence can be occupied by the same base or amino acid, then the molecules can be homologous at that position. Unless stated otherwise, sequence homology or identity is assessed over the specified length of the nucleic acid, polypeptide or portion thereof. In some embodiments, the homology or identity is assessed over a functional portion or specified portion of the length. [0124]Alignment of sequences for assessment of sequence homology can be conducted by algorithms known in the art, such as the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) algorithm, which is described in Altschul et al, J. Mol. Biol. 215:403- 410,1990. A publicly available, internet interface, for performing BLAST analyses is accessible through the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Additional known algorithms include those published in: Smith & Waterman, "Comparison of Biosequences ", Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482, 1981; Needleman & Wunsch, "A general method applicable to the search for similarities in the amino acid sequence of two proteins " J. Mol. Biol. 48:443, 1970; Pearson & Lipman "Improved tools for biological sequence comparison ", Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444, WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 1988; or by automated implementation of these or similar algorithms. Global alignment programs may also be used to align similar sequences of roughly equal size. Examples of global alignment programs include NEEDLE (available at www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/psa/emboss_needle/ ) which is part of the EMBOSS package (Rice P et al., Trends Genet., 2000; 16: 276-277), and the GGSEARCH program https://fasta.bioch.virginia.edu/fasta_www2/ , which is part of the PASTA package (Pearson W and Lipman D, 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 85: 2444-2448). Both of these programs are based on the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm which is used to find the optimum alignment (including gaps) of two sequences along their entire length. A detailed discussion of sequence analysis can also be found in Unit 19.3 of Ausubel et al ("Current Protocols in Molecular Biology " John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1994-1998, Chapter 15, 1998). Unless otherwise specified, alignment between a query sequence and a reference sequence is performed with Needleman- Wunsch alignment with Gap Costs set to Existence: 11 Extension: 1 where percent identity is calculated by dividing the number of identities by the length of the alignment, as further described in Altschul et al.("Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs", Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402,1997) and Altschul et al, ("Protein database searches using compositionally adjusted substitution matrices", FEES J. 272:5101-5109, 2005). [0125]A skilled person understands that amino acid (or nucleotide) positions may be determined in homologous sequences based on alignment, for example, "H840" in a reference Cas9 sequence may correspond to H839, or another position in a Cas9 homolog. [0126]The term "polynucleotide " or "nucleic acid molecule " can be any polymeric form of nucleotides, including DNA, RNA, a hybridization thereof, or RNA-DNA chimeric molecules. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide comprises cDNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, or microRNA. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide is double stranded, e.g, a double-stranded DNA in a gene. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide is single-stranded or substantially single-stranded, e.g., single-stranded DNA or an mRNA. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide is a cell-free nucleic acid molecule. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide circulates in blood. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide is a cellular nucleic acid molecule. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide is a cellular nucleic acid molecule in a cell circulating in blood. [0127]Polynucleotides can have any three-dimensional structure. The following are nonlimiting examples of polynucleotides: a gene or gene fragment (for example, a probe, WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 primer, EST or SAGE tag), an exon, an intron, intergenic DNA (including, without limitation, heterochromatic DNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), a ribozyme, cDNA, a recombinant polynucleotide, a branched polynucleotide, a plasmid, a vector, isolated DNA, isolated RNA, sgRNA, guide RNA, a nucleic acid probe, a primer, an snRNA, a long non-coding RNA, a snoRNA, a siRNA, a miRNA, a tRNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA), an antisense RNA, an shRNA, or a small rDNA-derived RNA (srRNA). [0128]In some embodiments, a polynucleotide comprises deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides or analogs thereof. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide comprises modified nucleotides, such as methylated nucleotides and nucleotide analogs. If present, modifications to the nucleotide structure can be imparted before or after assembly of the polynucleotide. The sequence of nucleotides can be interrupted by non-nucleotide components. A polynucleotide can be further modified after polymerization, such as by conjugation with a labeling component. [0129]In some embodiments, a polynucleotide is composed of a specific sequence of four nucleotide bases: adenine (A); cytosine (C); guanine (G); thymine (T); and uracil (U) for thymine when the polynucleotide is RNA. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide may comprise one or more other nucleotide bases, such as inosine (I), which is read by the translation machinery as guanine (G). [0130]In some embodiments, a polynucleotide may be modified. As used herein, the terms "modified " or "modification " refers to chemical modification with respect to the A, C, G, T and U nucleotides, and is indicated as mA, mC, mG, mT, and mT. In some embodiments, modifications may be on the nucleoside base and/or sugar portion of the nucleosides that comprise the polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the modification may be on the internucleoside linkage (e.g., phosphate backbone). In some embodiments, multiple modifications are included in the modified nucleic acid molecule. In some embodiments, a single modification is included in the modified nucleic acid molecule. [0131]The term "complement ", "complementary ", or "complementarity " as used herein, refers to the ability of two polynucleotide molecules to base pair with each other.Complementary polynucleotides may base pair via hydrogen bonding, which may be Watson Crick, Hoogsteen or reversed Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding. For example, an adenine on one polynucleotide molecule will base pair to a thymine or an uracil on a second polynucleotide molecule and a cytosine on one polynucleotide molecule will base pair to guanine on a WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 second polynucleotide molecule. Two polynucleotide molecules are complementary to each other when a first polynucleotide molecule comprising a first nucleotide sequence can base pair with a second polynucleotide molecule comprising a second nucleotide sequence. For instance, the two DNA molecules 5'-ATGC-3' and 5'-GCAT-3' are complementary, and the complement of the DNA molecule 5'-ATGC-3' is 5'-GCAT-3'. A percentage of complementarity indicates the percentage of nucleotides in a polynucleotide molecule which can base pair with a second polynucleotide molecule (e.g., 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 out of 10 being 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% complementary, respectively). "Perfectly complementary " means that all the contiguous nucleotides of a polynucleotide molecule will base pair with the same number of contiguous nucleotides in a second polynucleotide molecule. "Substantially complementary " as used herein refers to a degree of complementarity that can be 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, or 99% over all or a portion of two polynucleotide molecules. In some embodiments, the portion of complementarity may be a region of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, or more nucleotides. "Substantial complementary " can also refer to a 100% complementarity over a portion or a region of two polynucleotide molecules. In some embodiments, the portion or the region of complementarity between the two polynucleotide molecules is at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the length of at least one of the two polynucleotide molecules or a functional or defined portion thereof. [0132]As used herein, "expression " refers to the process by which polynucleotides are transcribed into mRNA and/or the process by which polynucleotides, e.g., the transcribed mRNA, translated into peptides, polypeptides, or proteins. If the polynucleotide is derived from genomic DNA, expression may include splicing of the mRNA in a eukaryotic cell. In some embodiments, expression of a polynucleotide, e.g., a gene or a DNA encoding a protein, is determined by the amount of the protein encoded by the gene after transcription and translation of the gene. In some embodiments, expression of a polynucleotide, e.g., a gene or a DNA encoding a protein, is determined by the amount of a functional form of the protein encoded by the gene after transcription and translation of the gene. In some embodiments, expression of a gene is determined by the amount of the mRNA, or transcript, that is encoded by the gene after transcription the gene. In some embodiments, expression of a polynucleotide, e.g., an mRNA, is determined by the amount of the protein encoded by the mRNA after translation of the mRNA. In some embodiments, expression of a polynucleotide, WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 e.g., a mRNA or coding RNA, is determined by the amount of a functional form of the protein encoded by the polypeptide after translation of the polynucleotide. [0133]The term "sequencing " as used herein, may comprise capillary sequencing, bisulfite- free sequencing, bisulfite sequencing, TET-assisted bisulfite (TAB) sequencing, ACE- sequencing, high-throughput sequencing, Maxam-Gilbert sequencing, massively parallel signature sequencing, Polony sequencing, 454 pyrosequencing, Sanger sequencing, Illumina sequencing, SOLID sequencing, Ion Torrent semiconductor sequencing, DNA nanoball sequencing, Heliscope single molecule sequencing, single molecule real time (SMRT) sequencing, nanopore sequencing, shot gun sequencing, RNA sequencing, or any combination thereof. [0134]The terms "equivalent " or "biological equivalent " are used interchangeably when referring to a particular molecule, or biological or cellular material, and means a molecule having minimal homology to another molecule while still maintaining a desired structure or functionality. [0135]The term "encode " as it is applied to polynucleotides refers to a polynucleotide which is said to "encode " another polynucleotide, a polypeptide, or an amino acid if, in its native state or when manipulated by methods well known to those skilled in the art, it can be used as polynucleotide synthesis template, e.g., transcribed into an RNA, reverse transcribed into a DNA or cDNA, and/or translated to produce an amino acid, or a polypeptide or fragment thereof. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide comprising three contiguous nucleotides form a codon that encodes a specific amino acid. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide comprises one or more codons that encode a polypeptide. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide comprising one or more codons comprises a mutation in a codon compared to a wild-type reference polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the mutation in the codon encodes an amino acid substitution in a polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide as compared to a wild-type reference polypeptide. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide encodes another polynucleotide which contains one or more desired nucleotide edits to be installed in a target DNA. For example, in some embodiments, an editing template of a PEgRNA encodes a single stranded DNA that contains one or more nucleotide changes compared to the endogenous editing target DNA sequence in a target gene, e.g., a target B2M gene, wherein the single stranded DNA is otherwise identical to the editing target sequence. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the editing template "encodes " the one or more nucleotide changes. As used herein in the context of specific nucleotide changes encoded by WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 PEgRNA editing templates, unless indicated otherwise, the specific nucleotide changes encoded refer to the changes installed into the coding strand (sense strand) of the target gene, although the editing target sequence may be on the sense strand or antisense strand of the target gene, e.g., the B2M gene. For example, when a PEgRNA mediates Prime Editing that results in insertion of a TAATAA sequence in the sense strand of the target gene, the editing template encodes a TAATAA insertion although the single strand DNA synthesized using the editing template sequence as a template may contain TTATTA in the corresponding position and has sequence identity to the antisense strand. [0136]The term "mutation " as used herein refers to a change and/or alteration in an amino acid sequence of a protein or nucleic acid sequence of a polynucleotide. Such changes and/or alterations may comprise the substitution, insertion, deletion and/or truncation of one or more amino acids, in the case of an amino acid sequence, and/or nucleotides, in the case of nucleic acid sequence, compared to a reference amino acid or a reference nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the reference sequence is a wild-type sequence. In some embodiments, a mutation in a nucleic acid sequence of a polynucleotide encodes a mutation in the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide. In some embodiments, the mutation in the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide or the mutation in the nucleic acid sequence of the polynucleotide is a mutation associated with a disease state. [0137]The term "subject " and its grammatical equivalents as used herein may refer to a human or a non-human. A subject may be a mammal. A human subject may be male or female. A human subject may be of any age. A subject may be a human embryo. A human subject may be a newborn, an infant, a child, an adolescent, or an adult. A human subject may be in need of treatment for a genetic disease or disorder. A human subject may be in need of an immune cell immunotherapy (e.g., a T cell therapy). A human subject may be in need of a CAR-T cell therapy. Alternatively, the human subject may be a healthy donor. [0138]The terms "treatment " or "treating " and their grammatical equivalents may refer to the medical management of a subject with an intent to cure, ameliorate, or ameliorate a symptom of, a disease, condition, or disorder. Treatment may include active treatment, that is, treatment directed specifically toward the improvement of a disease, condition, or disorder. Treatment may include causal treatment, that is, treatment directed toward removal of the cause of the associated disease, condition, or disorder. In addition, this treatment may include palliative treatment, that is, treatment designed for the relief of symptoms rather than the curing of the disease, condition, or disorder. Treatment may include supportive treatment, WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 that is, treatment employed to supplement another specific therapy directed toward the improvement of the disease, condition, or disorder. In some embodiments, a condition may be pathological. In some embodiments, a treatment may not completely cure or prevent a disease, condition, or disorder. In some embodiments, a treatment ameliorates, but does not completely cure or prevent a disease, condition, or disorder. In some embodiments, a subject may be treated for 12 hours, 24 hours, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, years, 4 years, 5 years, 6 years, indefinitely, or life of the subject. [0139]The term "ameliorate " and its grammatical equivalents means to decrease, suppress, attenuate, diminish, arrest, or stabilize the development or progression of a disease. [0140]The terms "prevent " or "preventing " means delaying, forestalling, or avoiding the onset or development of a disease, condition, or disorder for a period of time. Prevent also means reducing risk of developing a disease, disorder, or condition. Prevention includes minimizing or partially or completely inhibiting the development of a disease, condition, or disorder. In some embodiments, a composition, e.g.,a pharmaceutical composition, prevents a disorder by delaying the onset of the disorder for 12 hours, 24 hours, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, days, 6 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, 6 years, indefinitely, or life of a subject. [0141]The term "effective amount " or "therapeutically effective amount " refers to a quantity of a composition, for example a prime editing composition comprising a construct, that can be sufficient to result in a desired activity upon introduction into a subject as disclosed herein. An effective amount of the prime editing compositions can be provided to the target gene or cell, whether the cell is ex vivo or in vivo. [0142]An effective amount can be the amount to induce, for example, at least about a 2-fold change (increase or decrease) or more in the amount of target nucleic acid modulation (e.g, expression of target gene to produce functional protein) observed relative to a negative control. An effective amount or dose can induce, for example, about 2-fold decrease, about 3- fold decrease, about 4-fold decrease, about 5-fold decrease, about 6-fold decrease, about 7- fold decrease, about 8-fold decrease, about 9-fold decrease, about 10-fold decrease, about 25- fold decrease, about 50-fold decrease, or about 100-fold decrease, in target gene modulation (e.g, expression of a target B2M gene to produce functional 0 chain of MHC Class 1. [0143]The amount of target gene modulation may be measured by any suitable method known in the art. In some embodiments, the "effective amount " or "therapeutically effective WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 amount " is the amount of a composition that is required to ameliorate the symptoms of a disease relative to an untreated patient. In some embodiments, an effective amount is the amount of a composition sufficient to introduce an alteration in a gene of interest (e.g., a B2M gene) in a cell (e.g, a cell in vitro or in vivo). [0144]In some embodiments, an effective amount can be an amount to induce, when administered to a population of cells, a certain percentage of the population of cells to have an edit in a target gene (e.g., a B2M gene). For example, in some embodiments, an effective amount can be the amount to induce, when administered to or introduced to a population of cells, installation of one or more intended nucleotide edits in the B2M gene, in at least about 1%, about 2%, about 5%, about 10%, about 15%, about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95%, or about 99% of the population of cells. [0145]As it relates to the edited cells produced by the methods and composition comprising the edited cells disclosed herein; a "therapeutically effective amount " refers to a quantity of a composition comprising the edited cells that can be sufficient to result in a desired activity upon introduction into a subject (e.g., a human subject). [0146]The term "recombinase, " as used herein, refers to a site-specific enzyme that mediates the recombination of DNA between recombinase recognition sequences, which results in the excision, integration, inversion, or exchange (e.g., translocation) of DNA fragments between the recombinase recognition sequences. Recombinases can be classified into two distinct families: serine recombinases (e.g., resolvases and invertases) and tyrosine recombinases (e.g., integrases). Examples of serine recombinases include, without limitation, Si74, N067, Kp03, PaOl, Nm60, BcelNTa, BcytINTd, SscINTd, SacINTd, Hin, Gin, Tn3,13-six, CinH, ParA, y6, Bxbl, OC31, TP901, TGI, pBTl, R4, pRVI, pFCl, MR11, Al 18, U153, andgp29. Examples of tyrosine recombinases include, without limitation, Cre, FLP, R, Lambda, HK101, HK022, and pSAM2. Recombinases have numerous applications, including the creation of gene knockouts/knock-ins and gene therapy applications, as described in international publication no. WO2020191248A1, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The recombinases provided herein are not meant to be exclusive examples of recombinases that can be used in embodiments of the invention. The methods and compositions of the invention can be expanded by mining databases for new orthogonal recombinases or designing synthetic recombinases with defined DNA specificities.
WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 id="p-147"
[0147]In some embodiments, the catalytic domains of a recombinase are fused to a programmable DNA binding domain of a prime editor, such as a RNA-programmable nuclease (e.g., dCas9, Cas9 nickase, or a fragment thereof), such that the recombinase domain does not comprise a nucleic acid binding domain or is unable to bind to a target nucleic acid (e.g., the recombinase domain is engineered such that it does not have specific DNA binding activity). For example, serine recombinases of the resolvase-invertase group, e.g., Tn3 and 76 resolvases and the Hin and Gin invertases, have modular structures with autonomous catalytic and DNA-binding domains. The catalytic domains of these recombinases are thus amenable to being combined with, e.g., fused to or connected to a prime editor or a component thereof. Additionally, many other natural serine recombinases having an N-terminal catalytic domain and a C-terminal DNA binding domain are known (e.g., phiC31 integrase, TnpX transposase, IS607 transposase), and their catalytic domains can be combined with, e.g., fused to or complexed with a prime editor or a component thereof for programmable recombination. [0148]Other examples of recombinases that are usefill in the methods and compositions described herein are known to those of skill in the art, and any new recombinase that is discovered or generated is expected to be able to be used in the different embodiments of the invention. [0149]The term "recombinase recognition sequence", or equivalently as "RRS" or "recombinase target sequence" or "recombinase site," as used herein, refers to a nucleotide sequence target recognized by a recombinase and which undergoes strand exchange with another DNA molecule having a a corresponding RRS (e.g., an RRS recognized by the same recombinase) that results in excision, integration, inversion, or exchange of DNA fragments between the recombinase recognition sequences. In various embodiments, a prime editing composition may install one or more recombinase sites in a target sequence, or in more than one target sequence. When more than one recombinase site is installed by prime editing, the recombinase sites can be installed at adjacent target sites or non-adjacent target sites (e.g., separate chromosomes). In various embodiments, single installed recombinase sites can be used as "landing sites" for a recombinase- mediated reaction between the genomic recombinase site and a second recombinase site within an exogenously supplied nucleic acid molecule, e.g., a plasmid or a DNA vector. This enables the targeted integration of a desired nucleic acid molecule.
WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 id="p-150"
[0150]The term "recombine, " or "recombination, " in the context of a nucleic acid modification (e.g., a genomic modification), is used to refer to the process by which two or more nucleic acid molecules, or two or more regions of a single nucleic acid molecule, are modified by the action of a recombinase protein. Recombination can result in, inter alia, the insertion, inversion, excision, or translocation of nucleic acids, e.g., in or between one or more nucleic acid molecules. Prime Editing [0151]The term "prime editing " refers to programmable editing of a target DNA using a prime editor complexed with a PEgRNA to incorporate an intended nucleotide edit (also referred to herein as a nucleotide change) into the target DNA through target-primed DNA synthesis. A target gene of prime editing may comprise a double stranded DNA molecule having two complementary strands: a first strand that may be referred to as a "target strand " or a "non-edit strand ", and a second strand that may be referred to as a "non-target strand, " or an "edit strand. " In some embodiments, in a prime editing guide RNA (PEgRNA), a spacer sequence is complementary or substantially complementary to a specific sequence on the target strand, which may be referred to as a "search target sequence ". In some embodiments, the spacer sequence anneals with the target strand at the search target sequence. The target strand may also be referred to as the "non-Protospacer Adjacent Motif (non-PAM strand). " In some embodiments, the non-target strand may also be referred to as the "PAM strand ". In some embodiments, the PAM strand comprises a protospacer sequence and optionally a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence. In prime editing using a Cas-protein-based prime editor, a PAM sequence refers to a short DNA sequence immediately adjacent to the protospacer sequence on the PAM strand of the target gene. A PAM sequence may be specifically recognized by a programmable DNA binding protein, e.g., a Cas nickase or a Cas nuclease. In some embodiments, a specific PAM is characteristic of a specific programmable DNA binding protein, e.g., a Cas nickase or a Cas nuclease A protospacer sequence refers to a specific sequence in the PAM strand of the target gene that is complementary to the search target sequence. In a PEgRNA, a spacer sequence may have a substantially identical sequence as the protospacer sequence on the edit strand of a target gene, except that the spacer sequence may comprise Uracil (U) and the protospacer sequence may comprise Thymine (T). [0152]In some embodiments, the double stranded target DNA comprises a nick site on the PAM strand (or non-target strand). As used herein, a "nick site " refers to a specific position WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 in between two nucleotides or two base pairs of the double stranded target DNA. In some embodiments, the position of a nick site is determined relative to the position of a specific PAM sequence. In some embodiments, the nick site is the particular position where a nick will occur when the double stranded target DNA is contacted with a nickase, for example, a Cas nickase, that recognizes a specific PAM sequence. In some embodiments, the nick site is upstream of a specific PAM sequence on the PAM strand of the double stranded target DNA. In some embodiments, the nick site is downstream of a specific PAM sequence on the PAM strand of the double stranded target DNA. In some embodiments, the nick site is upstream of a PAM sequence recognized by a Cas9 nickase, wherein the Cas9 nickase comprises a nuclease active RuvC domain and a nuclease inactive HNH domain. In some embodiments, the nick site is 3 nucleotides upstream of the PAM sequence, and the PAM sequence is recognized by a Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 nickase, a P. lavamentivorans Cas9 nickase, a C. diphtheriae Cas9 nickase, a N. cinerea Cas9, a S. aureus Cas9, or a N. lari Cas9 nickase. In some embodiments, the nick site is 3 base pairs upstream of the PAM sequence, and the PAM sequence is recognized by a Cas9 nickase, wherein the Cas9 nickase that comprises a nuclease active RuvC domain and a nuclease inactive HNH domain. In some embodiments, the nick site is 2 nucleotides upstream of the PAM sequence, and the PAM sequence is recognized by a S. thermophilus Cas9 nickase that comprises a nuclease active RuvC domain and a nuclease inactive HNH domain. [0153]A "primer binding site " (also referred to as PBS or primer binding site sequence) is a single-stranded portion of the PEgRNA that comprises a region of complementarity to the PAM strand (i.e. the non-target strand or the edit strand). The PBS is complementary or substantially complementary to a sequence on the PAM strand of the double stranded target DNA that is immediately upstream of the nick site. In some embodiments, in the process of prime editing, the PEgRNA complexes with and directs a prime editor to bind the search target sequence on the target strand of the double stranded target DNA, and generates a nick at the nick site on the non-target strand of the double stranded target DNA. In some embodiments, the PBS is complementary to or substantially complementary to, and can anneal to, a free 3' end on the non-target strand of the double stranded target DNA at the nick site. In some embodiments, the PBS annealed to the free 3' end on the non-target strand can initiate target-primed DNA synthesis. [0154]An "editing template " of a PEgRNA is a single-stranded portion of the PEgRNA that is 5' of the PBS and which encodes a single strand of DNA. The editing template may WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 comprise a region of complementarity to the PAM strand (i.e., the non-target strand or the edit strand), and comprises one or more intended nucleotide edits compared to the endogenous sequence of the double stranded target DNA. In some embodiments, the editing template and the PBS are immediately adjacent to each other. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a PEgRNA in prime editing comprises a single-stranded portion that comprises the PBS and the editing template immediately adjacent to each other. In some embodiments, the single stranded portion of the PEgRNA comprising both the PBS and the editing template is complementary or substantially complementary to an endogenous sequence on the PAM strand (i.e., the non-target strand or the edit strand) of the double stranded target DNA except for one or more non-complementary nucleotides at the intended nucleotide edit position(s). As used herein, regardless of relative 5'-3' positioning in other context, the relative positions as between the PBS and the editing template, and the relative positions as among elements of a PEgRNA, are determined by the 5' to 3' order of the PEgRNA as a single molecule regardless of the position of sequences in the double stranded target DNA that may have complementarity or identity to elements of the PEgRNA. In some embodiments, the editing template is complementary or substantially complementary to a sequence on the PAM strand that is immediately downstream of the nick site, except for one or more nucleotide changes (e.g., one or more non-complementary nucleotides) at the intended nucleotide edit positions. The endogenous, e.g., genomic, sequence that is complementary or substantially complementary to the editing template, except for the one or more non-complementary nucleotides at the position corresponding to the intended nucleotide edit, may be referred to as an "editing target sequence ". In some embodiments, the editing template comprises identity or substantial identity to a sequence on the target strand that is complementary to, or having the same position in the genome as, the editing target sequence, except for one or more nucleotide changes (e.g., one or more insertions, deletions, or substitutions) at the intended nucleotide edit positions. [0155]In some embodiments, the editing target sequence is in a non-coding region of the target B2M gene. In some embodiments, the editing target sequence is in a coding region of the target B2M gene. In some embodiments, the editing target sequence is in an exon of the target B2M gene.. In some embodiments, the editing target sequence is in an exon, an intron, an exon-intron injunction, or a regulatory element of the B2M gene. In some embodiments, the editing target sequence is in an open reading frame of the B2M gene. In some embodiments, the editing target sequence is in an untranslated region of the B2M gene, for WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 example, a 3'-UTR or a 5'- UTR. In some embodiments, the editing target sequence is in a regulatory element of the B2Mgene. In some embodiments, the editing target sequence is in a promoter, an enhancer, an operator, a silencer, an insulator, a terminator, a transcription initiation sequence, a translation initiation sequence (e.g., a Kozak sequence), or any combination thereof of the B2M gene. In some embodiments, the editing target sequence is in a splice acceptor-splice donor (SA-SD) site in a B2M gene. [0156]In some embodiments, the editing template encodes a single stranded DNA, wherein the single stranded DNA comprises identity or substantial identity to the editing target sequence except for one or more nucleotide changes (e.g., one or more insertions, deletions, or substitutions) at the positions of the one or more intended nucleotide edits. In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein result in incorporation of one or more nucleotide changes in a B2Mgene. In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein result in introducing a mutation in a B2M gene. In some embodiments, the incorporation of the one or more nucleotide changes in the target B2Mgene introduces a mutation (e.g., a missense mutation, a nonsense mutation, a frame-shift mutation, a null mutation, a mutation that generates a premature stop codon, or a combination thereof) in the target B2M gene. In some embodiments, the incorporation of the one or more nucleotide changes introduces a frame shift mutation and/or generate one or more premature stop codons (e.g., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or more premature stop codons) in the target gene (e.g., a B2M gene). In some embodiments, the incorporation of the one or more nucleotide changes generates at least 2 premature stop codons in the target gene. In some embodiments, the incorporation of one or more nucleotide changes generates at least 2, 3,4, 5, or more consecutive premature stop codons in the target gene (e.g., B2M gene). In some embodiments, a premature stop codon is generated in exon 1, exon 2, exon 3, exon 4 or a combination thereof in a B2M gene. A "premature stop codon" is a mutation (e.g., a nonsense mutation or insertion) within a sequence of a target gene (e.g., B2M gene) that generates a stop codon at a position not normally found in the wild-type gene (e.g., wild type B2M gene). A premature stop codon may result in a truncated and/or non- functional protein compared to the hill-length protein encoded by the corresponding wildtype target gene. As used herein, a "frame shift mutation " means a mutation wherein the reading frame of codons of the coding region is altered due to the one or more nucleotide changes. For example, in some embodiments, a frameshift mutation is a insertion of 3x+l or 3x+nucleotides in the coding region, wherein x is an integer equal to or greater than 0. In some embodiments, a frameshift mutation is a deletion of 3x+l or 3x+2 nucleotides in the coding WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 region, wherein x is an integer equal to or greater than 0. In some embodiments, a frame shift mutation results in a premature stop codon in the target gene. In some embodiments, a frameshift mutation results in a non-functional protein encoded by the target gene. As used herein, a "missense mutation " refers to a change in the type of an amino acid in the protein expresses by a target gene due to the change or substitution of a base in the corresponding target gene (e.g., B2M gene). As used herein, a "nonsense mutation " refers to a mutation wherein a sense codon that encodes an amino acid is changed to a stop codon. As used herein, a "null mutation " refers to a mutation in a target gene (e.g., B2M gene) that results in complete loss of functional protein expression from the mutated target gene. [0157]In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in a non-coding region of the target B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in a coding region of the target B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in an exon of the target B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in exon l, exon 2, exon 3, exon 4, or any combination thereof of the target B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in an exon, an intron, an exon-intron injunction, or a regulatory element of the B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in an open reading frame of the B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in an untranslated region of the B2M gene, for example, a 3'-UTR or a 5'- UTR. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in a regulatory element of the B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in a promoter, an enhancer, an operator, a silencer, an insulator, a terminator, a transcription initiation sequence, a translation initiation sequence (e.g., a Kozak sequence), or any combination thereof of the B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in splice acceptor-splice donor (SA-SD) site in a B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in a B2M gene, wherein the mutation generates a splice acceptor-splice donor (SA-SD) site in a B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in a splice site in a B2M gene. In some embodiments, a mutation is introduced in a splice site, disrupts a splice site in a B2M gene. In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein generate any one of the following edits in a B2M gene to generate a STOP codon: CAG to TAG; CAA to TAA; CGA to TGA; TGG to TGA; TGG to TAG; or TGG to TAA. In some embodiments, the one or more intended nucleotide edits may be introduced at a 3’-UTR, for example, in a poly adenylation (poly-A) site. In some embodiments, one or more premature, in frame stop codons (e.g., two stop codons) are inserted into the B2M gene.
WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 id="p-158"
[0158]In some embodiments, the editing template may encode the wild-type or non-disease associated gene sequence (or its complement if the edit strand is the antisense strand of a gene). In some embodiments, the editing template may encode the wild-type or non-disease associated protein, but contain one or more synonymous mutations relative to the wild-type or non-disease associated protein coding region. Such synonymous mutations may include, for example, mutations that decrease the ability of a PEgRNA to rebind to the same target sequence once the desired edit is installed in the genome (e.g., synonymous mutations that silence the endogenous PAM sequence or that edit the endogenous protospacer). As used herein, a synonymous edit, synonymous change, or synonymous mutation in a gene refers to a nucleotide change that does not alter the protein sequence or the mRNA sequence encoded by the gene. A non-synonymous edit, non-synonymous change, or non-synonymous mutation in a gene refers to a nucleotide change that results in alteration in the protein sequence or the mRNA (e.g. by altering splice donor or acceptor sequence) sequence encoded by the gene. [0159]In some embodiments, a PEgRNA complexes with and directs a prime editor to bind to the search target sequence of the target gene. In some embodiments, the bound prime editor generates a nick on the edit strand (PAM strand) of the target gene at the nick site. In some embodiments, a primer binding site (PBS) of the PEgRNA anneals with a free 3' end formed at the nick site, and the prime editor initiates DNA synthesis from the nick site, using the free 3' end as a primer. Subsequently, a single-stranded DNA encoded by the editing template of the PEgRNA is synthesized. In some embodiments, the newly synthesized single- stranded DNA comprises one or more intended nucleotide edits (i.e., one or more nucleotide changes) compared to the endogenous target gene sequence. In some embodiments, incorporation of the one or more intended nucleotide edits in the target B2M gene introduces a mutation (e.g., a missense mutation, a nonsense mutation, a frame-shift mutation, a null mutation, a mutation that generates a premature stop codon, or a combination thereof) in the target B2M gene. In some embodiments, the one or more intended nucleotide edits introduce a frame shift mutation and/or generates one or more premature stop codons (e.g., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or more premature stop codons) in the target gene (e.g., B2M gene). In some embodiments, the one or more intended nucleotide edits generates at least 2 premature stop codons in the target gene. In some embodiments, the one or more intended nucleotide edits generates at least 2, 3,4, 5, or more consecutive premature stop codons in the target gene (e.g., a B2M gene). In some embodiments, the one or more intended nucleotide edits comprise the insertion of one or more premature, in frame stop codons (e.g., two stop codons) WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 into the B2M gene. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the editing template of a PEgRNA is complementary to a sequence in the edit strand except for one or more mismatches at the intended nucleotide edit positions in the editing template. The endogenous, e.g., genomic, sequence that is partially complementary to the editing template may be referred to as an "editing target sequence ". Accordingly, in some embodiments, the newly synthesized single stranded DNA has identity or substantial identity to a sequence in the editing target sequence, except for one or more insertions, deletions, or substitutions at the intended nucleotide edit positions. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises at least 4 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand wherein the at least 4 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the editing template. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand wherein the at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the editing template. [0160]In some embodiments, the newly synthesized single-stranded DNA equilibrates with the editing target on the edit strand of the target gene for pairing with the target strand of the target gene. In some embodiments, the editing target sequence of the target gene is excised by a flap endonuclease (FEN), for example, FENI. In some embodiments, the FEN is an endogenous FEN, for example, in a cell comprising the target gene. In some embodiments, the FEN is provided as part of the prime editor, either linked to other components of the prime editor or provided in trans. In some embodiments, the newly synthesized single stranded DNA, which comprises the intended nucleotide edit, replaces the endogenous single stranded editing target sequence on the edit strand of the target gene. In some embodiments, the newly synthesized single stranded DNA and the endogenous DNA on the target strand form a heteroduplex DNA structure at the region corresponding to the editing target sequence of the target gene. In some embodiments, the newly synthesized single-stranded DNA comprising the nucleotide edit is paired in the heteroduplex with the target strand of the target DNA that does not comprise the nucleotide edit, thereby creating a mismatch between the two otherwise complementary strands. In some embodiments, the mismatch is recognized by DNA repair machinery, e.g., an endogenous DNA repair machinery. In some embodiments, through DNA repair, the intended nucleotide edit is incorporated into the target gene.

[0161]In some embodiments, prime editing may comprise programmable editing of a target DNA using one or more prime editors each complexed with a PEgRNA ("dual prime editing "). Dual prime editing refers to programmable editing of a double-stranded target DNA using two or more PEgRNAs, each of which is complexed with a prime editor for incorporating one or more intended nucleotide edits into the double-stranded target DNA. In some embodiments, dual prime editing incorporates one or more intended nucleotide edits into a double-stranded target DNA through excision of an endogenous DNA segment and/or replacement of the endogenous DNA segment with newly synthesized DNA via target- primed DNA synthesis. In some embodiments, dual prime editing may be used to edit a target DNA that is or is part of a target gene. [0162]In some embodiments, dual prime editing involves using two different PEgRNAs each complexed with a prime editor, wherein each of the two PEgRNAs comprises a spacer complementary or substantially complementary to a separate search target sequence. In some embodiments, each of the two PEgRNAs anneals with a separate search target sequence through its spacer. Accordingly, references to a "PAM strand ", a "non-PAM strand ", a "target strand ’, a "non-target strand ", an "edit strand " or a "non-edit strand " are relative in the context of a specific PEgRNA, e.g., one of the two PEgRNAs in dual prime editing. [0163]In some embodiments, dual prime editing involves two PEgRNAs, different from one another, each complexed with a prime editor. In some embodiments, each of the two PEgRNAs comprises a region of complementarity to a distinct search target sequence of the target DNA, wherein the two distinct search target sequences are on the two complementary strands of the target DNA. In some embodiments, the two PEgRNAs each can direct a prime editor to initiate the prime editing process on the two complementary strands of the target DNA. [0164]In some embodiments, dual prime editing involves two PEgRNAs each complexed with a prime editor. In some embodiments, a first PEgRNA comprises a first spacer complementary to a first search target sequence on a first strand of a double-stranded target DNA, e.g., a double-stranded target gene. In the context of the first PEgRNA, the first strand of the double-stranded target DNA may be referred to as a first target strand, and the complementary strand referred to as the first PAM strand. [0165]In some embodiments, a second PEgRNA comprises a second spacer complementary to a second search target sequence on a second strand of the double-stranded target DNA. In some embodiments, the first strand and the second strand of the double-stranded target DNA, WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 e.g., a double-stranded target gene, are complementary to each other. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the second PEgRNA and the first PEgRNA bind opposite strands of the double-stranded target DNA. In the context of the second PEgRNA, the second strand of the double-stranded target DNA may be referred to as a second target strand, and the complementary strand referred to as the second PAM strand. In some embodiments, the first target strand is the same strand as the second PAM strand of the double-stranded target DNA. In some embodiments, the second target strand is the same strand as the first PAM strand of the double-stranded target DNA. [0166]In some embodiments, the first PEgRNA anneals with the first target strand of the double-stranded target DNA, through the first spacer of the first PEgRNA. In some embodiments, the first PEgRNA complexes with and directs a first prime editor to bind the double-stranded target DNA at the position corresponding to the first search target sequence. In some embodiments, the second PEgRNA anneals with the second search target sequence on the second target strand of the double-stranded target DNA, through a second spacer of the second PEgRNA. In some embodiments, the second PEgRNA complexes with and directs a second prime editor to bind the double-stranded target DNA at the position corresponding to the second search target sequence. In some embodiments, the first prime editor and the second prime editor are the same. In some embodiments, the first prime editor and the second prime editor are different. [0167]In some embodiments, the bound first prime editor generates a first nick on the first PAM strand of the double-stranded target DNA. In some embodiments, a first PEgRNA comprises a first primer binding site (PBS), also referred to herein as "primer binding site sequence ", that is complementary to the sequence of the first PAM strand of the double- stranded target DNA that is immediately upstream of the first nick site, and can anneal with the sequence of the first strand at a free 3’ end formed at the first nick site. In some embodiments, a first PEgRNA comprises a first primer binding site (PBS) that anneals to a free 3’ end formed at the first nick site and the first prime editor initiates DNA synthesis from the nick site, using the free 3’ end as a primer. In some embodiments, the first prime editor generates a first newly synthesized single-stranded DNA encoded by a first editing template of the first PEgRNA. [0168]In some embodiments, the bound second prime editor generates a second nick on the second PAM strand of the double-stranded target DNA. In some embodiments, the double- stranded target DNA, e.g., a target gene, comprises a double-stranded DNA sequence WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 between the first nick generated by the first prime editor on the second target strand (also referred to as the first PAM strand) and the second nick generated by the second prime editor on the first target strand (also referred to as the second PAM strand), which may be referred to as an inter-nick duplex (IND). In some embodiments, the two strands of an IND are completely complementary to each other. In some embodiments, the two strands of an IND are partially complementary to each other. In some embodiments, the IND is subsequently excised from the double-stranded target DNA, e.g., the target gene. [0169]In some embodiments, a first PEgRNA comprises a first primer binding site (PBS) that is complementary to a free 3’ end of the second strand of the double-stranded target DNA formed at the first nick site. In some embodiments, the first PBS anneals with the free 3’ end formed at the first nick site, and the first prime editor initiates DNA synthesis from the first nick site, using the free 3’ end at the first nick site as a primer. In some embodiments, the first prime editor synthesizes a first new single-stranded DNA encoded by the first editing template of the first PEgRNA. In some embodiments, the second PEgRNA comprises a second PBS that is complementary to a free 3’ end of the first strand of the double-stranded target DNA formed at the second nick site. In some embodiments, the second PBS anneals with the free 3’ end formed at the second nick site, and the second prime editor initiates DNA synthesis from the nick site, using the free 3’ end at the second nick site as a primer. In some embodiments, the second prime editor synthesizes a second newly synthesized single- stranded DNA encoded by a second editing template of the second PEgRNA. [0170]In some embodiments, through DNA repair, the sequence of the first newly synthesized single-stranded DNA encoded by the first editing template and/or the sequence of the second newly synthesized single-stranded DNA encoded by the second editing template is incorporated into the double-stranded target DNA, e.g., a target gene, thereby incorporating one or more intended nucleotide edits in the double-stranded target DNA, e.g., the target gene. [0171]In some embodiments, the first editing template and the second editing template comprise a region of complementarity or substantial complementarity to each other. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the first newly synthesized single-stranded DNA and the second newly synthesized single-stranded DNA have a region of complementarity to each other. The complementary region between the first newly synthesized single-stranded DNA and the second newly synthesized single-stranded DNA may be referred to as an overlap duplex (OD). As exemplified in Fig.4A, in some embodiments, through DNA repair, the OD WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 is incorporated in the double-stranded target DNA, e.g., the target gene, thereby incorporating one or more intended nucleotide edits encoded by the first editing template and the second editing template into the double-stranded target DNA, e.g., the target gene. In some embodiments, the OD replaces all or a portion of the IND, thereby incorporating one or more intended nucleotide edits in the double-stranded target DNA, e.g., the target gene. In some embodiments, the IND is excised or degraded, and the OD is incorporated at the place of the IND excision, followed by ligation of the nicks on both strands of the double-stranded target DNA, e.g., the target gene, thereby incorporating the one or more intended nucleotide edits in the double-stranded target DNA. [0172]In some embodiments, the first newly synthesized single-stranded DNA encoded by the first editing template further comprises a region that does not have complementarity with the second newly synthesized single-stranded DNA encoded by the second editing template (see exemplary schematic in FIG. 4B). In some embodiments, the second newly synthesized single-stranded DNA encoded by the second editing template further comprises a region that does not have complementarity with the first newly synthesized single-stranded DNA encoded by the first editing template. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the first newly synthesized single-stranded DNA encoded by the first editing template and the second newly synthesized single-stranded DNA encoded by the second editing template can anneal to each other through the partially complementary sequences to form an OD that is linked to a 5’ overhang and/or a 3’overhang. In some embodiments, the IND is removed, the OD, along with the 5’ overhang and/or the 3’ overhang, is incorporated at the place of the IND excision in the double-stranded target DNA, e.g., the target gene. Through DNA repair, the gaps corresponding to the positions of the 5’ overhang and/or the 3’ overhangs are filled and ligated, thereby incorporating the one or more intended nucleotide edits in the double- stranded target DNA, e.g., the target gene. [0173]Accordingly, in some embodiments, the IND is replaced by the sequence of (A+C), (B+C), or (A+B+C), wherein A is the region, and its complementary strand, of the first newly synthesized single-stranded DNA that is not complementary to the second newly synthesized single-stranded DNA, wherein B is the region, and its complementary strand, of the second newly synthesized single-stranded DNA that is not complementary to the first newly synthesized single-stranded DNA, and wherein C is the OD. The double-stranded sequence of (A+C), (B+C), or (A+B+C) that replaces the IND may be referred to as the "replacement WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 duplex (RD)". In some embodiments, through DNA repair, the RD replaces the IND of a target DNA. [0174]In some embodiments, the RD or the OD may comprise a recombinase recognition sequences (RRSs), e.g., a RRS recognized by a Bxbl recombinase, a Cre recombinase, a PaOl recombinase, a Si74 recoimbinase, a N067 recombinase, a Kp03 recombinase, a Nm60 recombinase, a BcelNTa recombinase, a NcytINTd recombinase, a SscINTd recombinase, a SacINTd recombinase, or a recombinase recognition site corresponding to any recombinase disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the RD or the OD may comprise one, two, or more recombinase recognition sites corresponding to a recombinase. [0175]Replacement of the IND by the RD or the OD comprising one or more RRS sequences with dual prime editing may result in insertion of the one or more RRSs into the target gene. Depending on the number and orientation of the RRSs, they can be used as landing sites for a recombinase-mediated reaction between the RRSs. For example, a single RSS inserted into a target gene, e.g., a TRAC gene, can be used for integration of an exogenous DNA donor sequence via recombination between the inserted RRS and a second RRS within an exogenous supplied DNA donor. If two RRS sites are inserted in adjacent regions of DNA, depending on the orientation of the RRS sites, these can be used for recombinase-mediated excision or inversion of the intervening sequence, or for recombinase-mediated cassette exchange with exogenous DNA for cargo integration. Prime Editor [0176]The term "prime editor (PE)" refers to the polypeptide or polypeptide components involved in prime editing, or any polynucleotide(s) encoding the polypeptide or polypeptide components. In various embodiments, a prime editor includes a polypeptide domain having DNA binding activity and a polypeptide domain having DNA polymerase activity. In some embodiments, the prime editor further comprises a polypeptide domain having nuclease activity. In some embodiments, the polypeptide domain having DNA binding activity comprises a nuclease domain or nuclease activity. In some embodiments, the polypeptide domain having nuclease activity comprises a nickase, or a fully active nuclease. As used herein, the term "nickase " refers to a nuclease capable of cleaving only one strand of a double-stranded DNA target. In some embodiments, the prime editor comprises a polypeptide domain that is an inactive nuclease. In some embodiments, the polypeptide domain having programmable DNA binding activity comprises a nucleic acid guided DNA binding domain, for example, a CRISPR-Cas protein, for example, a Cas9 nickase, a Cpfl nickase, or another WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 CRISPR-Cas nuclease. In some embodiments, the polypeptide domain having DNA polymerase activity comprises a template-dependent DNA polymerase, for example, a DNA- dependent DNA polymerase or an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. In some embodiments, the DNA polymerase is a reverse transcriptase. In some embodiments, the prime editor comprises additional polypeptides involved in prime editing, for example, a polypeptide domain having 5' endonuclease activity, e.g., a 5' endogenous DNA flap endonucleases (e.g, FENI), for helping to drive the prime editing process towards the edited product formation. In some embodiments, the prime editor further comprises an RNA-protein recruitment polypeptide, for example, a MS2 coat protein. [0177]A prime editor may be engineered. In some embodiments, the polypeptide components of a prime editor do not naturally occur in the same organism or cellular environment. In some embodiments, the polypeptide components of a prime editor may be of different origins or from different organisms. In some embodiments, a prime editor comprises a DNA binding domain and a DNA polymerase domain that are derived from different species. In some embodiments, a prime editor comprises a Cas polypeptide (DNA binding domain) and a reverse transcriptase polypeptide (DNA polymerase) that are derived from different species. For example, a prime editor may comprise a 8. pyogenes Cas9 polypeptide and a Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MLV) reverse transcriptase polypeptide. [0178]In some embodiments, polypeptide domains of a prime editor may be fused or linked by a peptide linker to form a fusion protein. In other embodiments, a prime editor comprises one or more polypeptide domains provided in trans as separate proteins, which are capable of being associated to each other through non-peptide linkages or through aptamers or recruitment sequences. For example, a prime editor may comprise a DNA binding domain and a reverse transcriptase domain associated with each other by an RNA-protein recruitment aptamer, e.g., a MS2 aptamer, which may be linked to a PEgRNA. Prime editor polypeptide components may be encoded by one or more polynucleotides in whole or in part. In some embodiments, a single polynucleotide, construct, or vector encodes the prime editor fusion protein. In some embodiments, multiple polynucleotides, constructs, or vectors each encode a polypeptide domain or portion of a domain of a prime editor, or a portion of a prime editor fusion protein. For example, a prime editor fusion protein may comprise an N-terminal portion fused to an intein-N and a C-terminal portion fused to an intein-C, each of which is individually encoded by an AAV vector.

In some embodiments, a Cas protein comprises a single nuclease domain. For example, a Cpfl may comprise a RuvC domain but lacks HNH domain. In some embodiments, a Cas protein comprises two nuclease domains, e.g., a Cas9 protein can comprise an HNH nuclease domain and a RuvC nuclease domain. [0212]In some embodiments, a prime editor comprises a Cas protein, e.g., Cas9, wherein all nuclease domains of the Cas protein are active. In some embodiments, a prime editor comprises a Cas protein having one or more inactive nuclease domains. One or a plurality of the nuclease domains (e.g, RuvC, HNH) of a Cas protein can be deleted or mutated so that they are no longer functional or comprise reduced nuclease activity. In some embodiments, a Cas protein, e.g., Cas9, comprising mutations in a nuclease domain has reduced (e.g, nickase) or abolished nuclease activity while maintaining its ability to target a nucleic acid locus at a search target sequence when complexed with a guide nucleic acid, e.g., a PEgRNA. [0213]In some embodiments, a prime editor comprises a Cas nickase that can bind to the target gene in a sequence-specific manner and generate a single-strand break at a protospacer within double-stranded DNA in the target gene, but not a double-strand break. For example, the Cas nickase can cleave the edit strand or the non-edit strand of the target gene, but may not cleave both. In some embodiments, a prime editor comprises a Cas nickase comprising two nuclease domains (e.g, Cas9), with one of the two nuclease domains modified to lack catalytic activity or deleted. In some embodiments, the Cas nickase of a prime editor WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 comprises a nuclease inactive RuvC domain and a nuclease active HNH domain.

In some embodiments, the Cas9 nickase comprises a DI OX amino acid substitution compared to a wild type 8. pyogenes Cas9, wherein X is any amino acid other than D. In some embodiments, a prime editor comprises a Cas9 nickase having an amino acid substitution in the HNH domain e.g., an amino acid substitution that reduces or abolishes nuclease activity of the HNH domain. In some embodiments, the Cas9 nickase comprises a H840X amino acid substitution compared to a wild type 8. pyogenes Cas9, wherein X is any amino acid other thanH. [0214]In some embodiments, a prime editor comprises a Cas protein that can bind to the target gene in a sequence-specific manner but lacks or has abolished nuclease activity and may not cleave either strand of a double stranded DNA in a target gene. Abolished activity or lacking activity can refer to an enzymatic activity less than 1%, less than 2%, less than 3%, less than 4%, less than 5%, less than 6%, less than 7%, less than 8%, less than 9%, or less than 10% activity compared to a wild-type exemplary activity (e.g, wild-type Cas9 nuclease activity). In some embodiments, a Cas protein of a prime editor completely lacks nuclease activity. A nuclease, e.g, Cas9, that lacks nuclease activity may be referred to as nuclease inactive or "nuclease dead " (abbreviated by "d"). A nuclease dead Cas protein (e.g, dCas, dCas9) can bind to a target polynucleotide but may not cleave the target polynucleotide. In some embodiments, a dead Cas protein is a dead Cas9 protein. In some embodiments, a prime editor comprises a nuclease dead Cas protein wherein all of the nuclease domains (e.g, both RuvC and HNH nuclease domains in a Cas9 protein; RuvC nuclease domain in a Cpfl protein) are mutated to lack catalytic activity, or are deleted. [0215]A Cas protein can be modified. A Cas protein, e.g, Cas9, can be modified to increase or decrease nucleic acid binding affinity, nucleic acid binding specificity, and/or enzymatic activity. Cas proteins can also be modified to change any other activity or property of the protein, such as stability. For example, one or more nuclease domains of the Cas protein can be modified, deleted, or inactivated, or a Cas protein can be truncated to remove domains that are not essential for the function of the protein or to optimize (e.g, enhance or reduce) the activity of the Cas protein.

[0232]In some embodiments, a prime editor comprises a Cas protein, e.g., Cas9, containing modifications that allow altered PAM recognition. In prime editing using a Cas-protein-based WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 prime editor, a "protospacer adjacent motif (PAM)", PAM sequence, or PAM-like motif, may be used to refer to a short DNA sequence immediately following the protospacer sequence on the PAM strand of the target gene. In some embodiments, the PAM is recognized by the Cas nuclease in the prime editor during prime editing. In certain embodiments, the PAM is required for target binding of the Cas protein. The specific PAM sequence required for Cas protein recognition may depend on the specific type of the Cas protein. A PAM can be 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, a PAM is between 2-6 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the PAM can be a 5' PAM (z.e., located upstream of the 5' end of the protospacer). In other embodiments, the PAM can be a 3' PAM (z.e., located downstream of the 5' end of the protospacer).In some embodiments, the Cas protein of a prime editor recognizes a canonical PAM, for example, a SpCas9 recognizes 5'-NGG-3' PAM. In some embodiments, the Cas protein of a prime editor has altered or non-canonical PAM specificities. Exemplary PAM sequences and corresponding Cas variants are described in Table 23below. It should be appreciated that for each of the variants provided, the Cas protein comprises one or more of the amino acid substitutions as indicated compared to a wild type Cas protein sequence, for example, the Cas9 as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 674. The PAM motifs as shown in Table below are in the order of 5’ to 3’. In some embodiments, the Cas proteins of the disclosure can also be used to direct transcriptional control of target sequences, for example silencing transcription by sequence-specific binding to target sequences. In some embodiments, a Cas protein described herein may have one or mutations in a PAM recognition motif. In some embodiments, a Cas protein described herein may have altered PAM specificity. [0233]As used in PAM sequences in Table 23, "N" refers to any one of nucleotides A, G, C, and T, "R" refers to nucleotide A or G, "V" refers to nucleotide A or T; "V" refers to any one of nucleotides A or C or G, and "Y" refers to nucleotide C or T.

[0264]In some embodiments, the circular permutant can be formed by linking a C-terminal fragment of a Cas9 to an N-terminal fragment of a Cas9, either directly or by using a linker, such as an amino acid linker. In some embodiments, the C-terminal fragment that is rearranged to the N-terminus includes or corresponds to the C-terminal 30% or less of the amino acids of a Cas9 (e.g., amino acids 1012-1368 as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 674 or corresponding amino acid positions thereof). In some embodiments, the C-terminal fragment that is rearranged to the N-terminus, includes or corresponds to the C-terminal 30%, 29%, 28%, 27%, 26%, 25%, 24%, 23%, 22%, 21%, 20%, 19%, 18%, 17%, 16%, 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%,5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1% of the amino acids of a Cas(e.g., as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 674 or corresponding amino acid positions thereof).

[0265]In other embodiments, circular permutant Cas9 variants may be a topological rearrangement of a Cas9 primary structure based on the following method, which is based on S. pyogenes Cas9 of SEQ ID NO: 674: (a) selecting a circular permutant (CP) site corresponding to an internal amino acid residue of the Cas9 primary structure, which dissects the original protein into two halves: an N-terminal region and a C-terminal region; (b) modifying the Cas9 protein sequence (e.g., by genetic engineering techniques) by moving the original C-terminal region (comprising the CP site amino acid) to precede the original N- terminal region, thereby forming a new N-terminus of the Cas9 protein that now begins with the CP site amino acid residue. The CP site can be located in any domain of the Cas9 protein, WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 including, for example, the helical-II domain, the RuvCIII domain, or the CTD domain.

Nomenclature of these CP-Cas9 proteins may be referred to as Cas9-CP181, Cas9-CP199, Cas9-CP230, Cas9-CP270, Cas9-CP310, Cas9-CP1010, Cas9-CP1016, Cas9-CP1023, Cas9-CP1029, Cas9-CP1041, Cas9-CP1247, Cas9-CP1249, andCas9- CP1282, respectively. This description is not meant to be limited to making CP variants from SEQ ID NO: 674, but may be implemented to make CP variants in any Cas9 sequence, either at CP sites that correspond to these positions, or at other CP sites entirely. This description is not meant to limit the specific CP sites in any way. Virtually any CP site may be used to form a CP-Cas9 variant.

In some embodiments, the PEgRNA associates with and directs a prime editor to incorporate the one or more intended nucleotide edits into the target gene via prime editing. "Nucleotide edit " or "intended nucleotide edit " refers to a specified deletion of one or more nucleotides at one specific position, insertion of one or WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 115 more nucleotides at one specific position, substitution of a single nucleotide, or other alterations at one specific position to be incorporated into the sequence of the target gene. Intended nucleotide edit may refer to the edit on the editing template as compared to the sequence on the target strand of the target gene, or may refer to the edit encoded by the editing template on the newly synthesized single stranded DNA that replaces the editing target sequence, as compared to the editing target sequence. In some embodiments, incorporation of the one or more intended nucleotide edits in the target B2M gene introduces a mutation (e.g., a missense mutation, a nonsense mutation, a frame-shift mutation, a null mutation, a mutation that generates a premature stop codon, or a combination thereof) in the target B2M gene. In some embodiments, the one or more intended nucleotide edits introduce a frame shift mutation and/or generate one or more premature stop codons (e.g., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or more premature stop codons) in the target gene (e.g., B2M gene). In some embodiments, the one or more intended nucleotide edits generates at least 2 premature stop codons in the target gene. In some embodiments, the one or more intended nucleotide edits generates at least 2, 3,4, 5, or more consecutive premature stop codons in the target gene (e.g., a B2M gene). In some embodiments, the one or more intended nucleotide edits comprise insertion of one or more premature, in frame stop codons (e.g., two stop codons) into the B2M gene. In some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprises a spacer sequence that is complementary or substantially complementary to a search target sequence on a target strand of the target gene. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises a gRNA core that associates with a DNA binding domain, e.g., a CRISPR-Cas protein domain, of a prime editor. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA further comprises an extended nucleotide sequence comprising one or more intended nucleotide edits compared to the endogenous sequence of the target gene, wherein the extended nucleotide sequence may be referred to as an extension arm. [0294]In certain embodiments, the extension arm comprises a primer binding site sequence (PBS) that can initiate target-primed DNA synthesis. In some embodiments, the PBS is complementary or substantially complementary to a free 3' end on the edit strand of the target gene at a nick site generated by the prime editor. In some embodiments, the extension arm further comprises an editing template that comprises one or more intended nucleotide edits to be incorporated in the target gene by prime editing. In some embodiments, the editing template is a template for an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase domain or polypeptide of the prime editor, for example, a reverse transcriptase domain. The reverse transcriptase editing WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 116 template may also be referred to herein as an RT template, or RTT. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises partial complementarity to an editing target sequence in the target gene, e.g., an B2M gene. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises substantial or partial complementarity to the editing target sequence except at the position of the intended nucleotide edits to be incorporated into the target gene. An exemplary architecture of a PEgRNA including its components is as demonstrated in FIG. 2. [0295]In some embodiments, a PEgRNA includes only RNA nucleotides and forms an RNA polynucleotide. In some embodiments, a PEgRNA is a chimeric polynucleotide that includes both RNA and DNA nucleotides. For example, a PEgRNA can include DNA in the spacer sequence, the gRNA core, or the extension arm. In some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprises DNA in the spacer sequence. In some embodiments, the entire spacer sequence of a PEgRNA is a DNA sequence. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises DNA in the gRNA core, for example, in a stem region of the gRNA core. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises DNA in the extension arm, for example, in the editing template. An editing template that comprises a DNA sequence may serve as a DNA synthesis template for a DNA polymerase in a prime editor, for example, a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase.Accordingly, the PEgRNA may be a chimeric polynucleotide that comprises RNA in the spacer, gRNA core, and/or the PBS sequences and DNA in the editing template. [0296]Components of a PEgRNA may be arranged in a modular fashion. In some embodiments, the spacer and the extension arm comprising a primer binding site sequence (PBS) and an editing template, e.g., a reverse transcriptase template (RTT), can be interchangeably located in the 5' portion of the PEgRNA, the 3' portion of the PEgRNA, or in the middle of the gRNA core. In some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprises a PBS and an editing template sequence in 5' to 3' order. In some embodiments, the gRNA core of a PEgRN A of this disclosure may be located in between a spacer and an extension arm of the PEgRNA. In some embodiments, the gRNA core of a PEgRNA may be located at the 3' end of a spacer. In some embodiments, the gRNA core of a PEgRNA may be located at the 5' end of a. spacer. In some embodiments, the gRNA core of a PEgRNA may be located at the 3' end of an extension arm. In some embodiments, the gRNA core of a PEgRNA may be located at the 5' end of an extension arm. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises, from 5' to 3': a spacer, a gRNA core, and an extension arm. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises, from 5' to 3': a spacer, a gRNA core, an editing template, and a PBS. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises, from 5׳ to 3': an extension arm, a spacer, and a gRNA WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 117 core. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises, from 5' to 3': an editing target, a PBS, a spacer, and a gRN A core. [0297]In some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprises a single polynucleotide molecule that comprises the spacer sequence, the gRNA core, and the extension arm. In some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprises multiple polynucleotide molecules, for example, two polynucleotide molecules. In some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprise a first polynucleotide molecule that comprises the spacer and a portion of the gRNA core, and a second polynucleotide molecule that comprises the rest of the gRNA core and the extension arm. In some embodiments, the gRNA core portion in the first polynucleotide molecule and the gRNA core portion in the second polynucleotide molecule are at least partly complementary to each other. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA may comprise a first polynucleotide comprising the spacer and a first portion of a gRNA core comprising, which may be also be referred to as a crRNA. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprise a second polynucleotide comprising a second portion of the gRNA core and the extension arm, wherein the second portion of the gRNA core may also be referred to as a trans-activating crRNA, or tracr RNA. In some embodiments, the crRNA portion and the tracr RNA portion of the gRNA core are at least partially complementary to each other. In some embodiments, the partially complementary portions of the crRNA and the tracr RNA form a lower stem, a bulge, and an upper stem, as exemplified in FIG. 3.The gRNA core of PEgRNAs (also referred to as gRNA scaffold or gRNA backbone) are analogous to the gRNA scaffold or backbone of classic CRISPR-Cas9 guide RNAs and CRISPR-Cas9 single guide RNAs (sgRNAs). The gRNA core structure and exemplary sequences as described in PCT publication WO2020191234, Nowak et al., Nucleic Acids Research 44(20): 955595(2016), Doudna et al. Annu. Rev. Biophys. 2017. 46:505-29, and any gRNA core structure and sequences known in the art are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [0298]In some embodiments, a spacer sequence comprises a region that has substantial complementarity to a search target sequence on the target strand of a double stranded target DNA, e.g., an B2M gene. In some embodiments, the spacer sequence of a PEgRNA is identical or substantially identical to a protospacer sequence on the edit strand of the target gene (except that the protospacer sequence comprises thymine and the spacer sequence may comprise uracil). In some embodiments, the spacer sequence is at least about 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% complementary to a search target sequence in the target gene.
WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 118 In some embodiments, the spacer comprises is substantially complementary to the search target sequence. [0299]In some embodiments, the length of the spacer varies from about 10 to about 1nucleotides. In some embodiments, the spacer is 16 nucleotides, 17 nucleotides, nucleotides, 19 nucleotides, 20 nucleotides, 21 nucleotides, 22 nucleotides, 23 nucleotides, nucleotides, or 25 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the spacer is from nucleotides to 30 nucleotides in length, 15 to 25 nucleotides in length, 18 to 22 nucleotides in length, 10 to 20 nucleotides in length, or 20 to 30 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the spacer is 16 to 22 nucleotides in length, e.g., about 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, or 22 nucleotides in length. [0300]As used herein in a PEgRNA or a nick guide RNA sequence, or fragments thereof such as a spacer, PBS, or RTT sequence, unless indicated otherwise, it should be appreciated that the letter "T" or "thymine " indicates a nucleobase in a DNA sequence that encodes the PEgRNA or guide RNA sequence, and is intended to refer to a uracil (U) nucleobase of the PEgRNA or guide RNA or any chemically modified uracil nucleobase known in the art, such as 5-methoxyuracil. [0301]The extension arm of a PEgRNA may comprise a primer binding site (PBS) and an editing template (e.g, an RTT). The extension arm may be partially complementary to the spacer. In some embodiments, the editing template (e.g, RTT) is partially complementary to the spacer. In some embodiments, the editing template (e.g, RTT) and the primer binding site (PBS) are each partially complementary to the spacer.

[0310]In some embodiments, an editing template may be configured to introduce one or more recombinase recognition sequences into the target gene, e.g., the B2M gene. For example, an editing template may encode, or further encode, one or more recombinase recognition sequences (RRSs). Such editing templates, or RTTs, can enable insertion of the RRS(s) in the target gene, and the RRS(s) can be used as landing sites for recombinase mediated DNA insertion, deletion, inversion, or replacement. For example, in some embodiments, prime editing insertion of an RRS (e.g., an attB sequence) allows integration of a DNA donor sequence mediated by a recombinase that recognizes the RRS (e.g., Bxbl), wherein the DNA donor sequence also comprises an RRS recognized by the recombinase (e.g., an attP sequence). In some embodiments, prime editing insertion of two RRSs allow for deletion of the target gene sequence between the two RRSs or inversion of the target gene sequence between the two RRSs mediated by a recombinase that recognizes the two RRSs, depending on the orientation of the two RRSs. In some embodiments, prime editing insertion of two RRSs allow for cassette exchange of the target gene sequence between the two RRSs and a DNA donor sequence mediated by a corresponding recombinase, wherein the DNA donor sequence is flanked by two RRSs that are also recognized by the recombinase. [0311]Exemplary RRS sequences that can be encoded by the PEgRNA RTTs are provided in Table 32.A skilled person understands that RRSs recognized by the same recombinase can be used for targeted insertion and other recombination events, for example, by inserting an attB sequence in a target B2Mgene via prime editing, and providing a Bxbl recombinase and a circular DNA donor construct containing an attP sequence for integration of the DNA donor sequence in the B2M gene at the attB site. In some embodiments, orthogonal recognition can be achieved by altering the central dinucleotide of the RRS. For example, the central dinucleotides of Bxbl attB or attP sequences can be GT or GA, shown in bold in Table 32.In some embodiments, the central dinucleotides of a RRS can be any two nucleotides, where each nucleotide is A, T, G, or C. Additional RRSs described herein and those known in the art, as well as corresponding recombinases, are also contemplated. Table 32.

In some embodiments, position of the intended nucleotide edit in the editing template may be referred to by aligning the editing template with the partially complementary editing target sequence on the edit strand, and referring to nucleotide positions on the editing strand where the intended nucleotide edit is incorporated. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a nucleotide edit in an editing template is at a position corresponding to a position about 0, 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, or 150 nucleotides apart from the nick site.

The relative positions of the intended nucleotide edit(s) and nick site may be referred to by numbers. For example, in some embodiments, the nucleotide immediately downstream of the nick site on a PAM strand (or the non-target strand, or the edit strand) may be referred to as at position 0. The nucleotide immediately upstream of the nick site on the PAM strand (or the non-target strand, or the edit strand) may be referred to as at position -1. The nucleotides downstream of position 0 on the PAM strand may be referred to as at positions +1, +2, +3, +4, ... +n, and the nucleotides WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 127 upstream of position -1 on the PAM strand may be referred to as at positions -2, -3,-4, ..., -n. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the nucleotide in the editing template that corresponds to position 0 when the editing template is aligned with the partially complementary editing target sequence by complementarity may also be referred to as position 0 in the editing template, the nucleotides in the editing template corresponding to the nucleotides at positions +1, +2, +3, +4, ..., +n on the PAM strand of the double stranded target DNA may also be referred to as at positions +1, +2, +3, +4,..., +n in the editing template, and the nucleotides in the editing template corresponding to the nucleotides at positions -1, -2, -3, -4, ..., -n on the PAM strand on the double stranded target DNA may also be referred to as at positions -1, -2, -3,-4, ..., -n on the editing template, even though when the PEgRNA is viewed as a standalone nucleic acid, positions +1, +2, +3, +4, ..., +n are 5' of position 0 and positions -1, -2, -3, -4, ...-n are 3' of position 0 in the editing template. In some embodiments, an intended nucleotide edit is at position +n of the editing template relative to position 0. Accordingly, the intended nucleotide edit may be incorporated at position +n of the PAM strand of the double stranded target DNA (and subsequently, the target strand of the double stranded target DNA) by prime editing. The corresponding positions of the intended nucleotide edit incorporated in the B2M gene may also be referred to based on the nicking position generated by a prime editor based on sequence homology and complementarity. For example, in embodiments, the number of nucleotides from the nucleotide edit to be incorporated into the B2M gene to the nick site (also referred to as the "nick-to-edit distance ", not including the nucleotides in the edit) may be determined by the position of the nick site and the position of the nucleotide(s) corresponding to the intended nucleotide edit(s), for example, by identifying sequence complementarity between the spacer and the search target sequence and sequence complementarity between the editing template and the editing target sequence. In certain embodiments, the position of the nucleotide edit can be in any position downstream of the nick site on the edit strand (or the PAM strand). As used herein, the distance between the nick site and the nucleotide edit, for example, where the nucleotide edit comprises an insertion or deletion, refers to the 5’ most position of the nucleotide edit for a nick that creates a 3’ free end on the edit strand (i.e., the "near position " of the nucleotide edit to the nick site). The nick-to-edit distance for a specific edit, e.g., a non-synonymous edit that results in a premature stop codon in the target gene, can also be referred to as the number of nucleotides from the nick site to the position of the edit (not including the 5’ most nucleotide at the edit).In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 2 to 106 nucleotides. In some WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 128 embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 2 to 105, 2 to 104, 2 to 103, 2 to 102, 2 to 101, 2 to 100, 2 to 99, 2 to 98, or 2 to 97 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 2 to 90, 2 to 80, 2 to 70, 2 to 60, 2 to 50, 2 to 40, or 2 to 30 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 2 to 25, 2 to 20, 2 to 15, or 2 to 10 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 28 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 22 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 17 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 16 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to- edit distance is 4 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 1 to 19 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 16 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to- edit distance is 1, 2, 7, 8, 13, 14, or 19 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is equal to or less than 8 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nick-to-edit distance is 1 or 2 nucleotides. [0316]The RTT length and the nick-to-edit distance relate to the length of the portion of the RTT that is upstream of (i.e. 5’ to) the 5’-most edit in the RTT and is complementary to the edit strand. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises at least 4 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand wherein the at least 4 nucleotides contiguous are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the editing template. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises at least 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or more contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand wherein the at least 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or more contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the editing template. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises 20-25, 25-30, 30-35, 35-40, 45-45, or 45-50 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand wherein the 20-25, 25-30, 30-35, 35-40, 45-45, or 45-50 or more contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the editing template. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises 9-14 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand wherein the 9-14 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the editing template. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises 6-10 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand wherein the 6-10 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the editing template. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises 10 contiguous WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 129 nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand wherein the 10 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the editing template. In some embodiments, the editing template comprises 9 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand wherein the 9 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the editing template. [0317]When referred to within the PEgRNA, positions of the one or more intended nucleotide edits may be referred to relevant to components of the PEgRNA. For example, an intended nucleotide edit may be 5’ or 3’ to the PBS. In some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprises the structure, from 5’ to 3’: a spacer, a gRNA core, an editing template, and a PBS. In some embodiments, the intended nucleotide edit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, or 40 nucleotides upstream to the 5’ most nucleotide of the PBS. In some embodiments, the intended nucleotide edit is 0 to 2 nucleotides, 0 to 4 nucleotides, 0 to 6 nucleotides, 0 to nucleotides, 0 to 10 nucleotides, 2 to 4 nucleotides, 2 to 6 nucleotides, 2 to 8 nucleotides, 2 to nucleotides, 2 to 12 nucleotides, 4 to 6 nucleotides, 4 to 8 nucleotides, 4 to 10 nucleotides, to 12 nucleotides, 4 to 14 nucleotides, 6 to 8 nucleotides, 6 to 10 nucleotides, 6 to nucleotides, 6 to 14 nucleotides, 6 to 16 nucleotides, 8 to 10 nucleotides, 8 to 12 nucleotides, to 14 nucleotides, 8 to 16 nucleotides, 8 to 18 nucleotides, 10 to 12 nucleotides, 10 to nucleotides, 10 to 16 nucleotides, 10 to 18 nucleotides, 10 to 20 nucleotides, 12 to 14nucleotides, 12 to 16 nucleotides, 12 to 18 nucleotides, 12 to 20 nucleotides, 12 to 22nucleotides, 14 to 16 nucleotides, 14 to 18 nucleotides, 14 to 20 nucleotides, 14 to 22nucleotides, 14 to 24 nucleotides, 16 to 18 nucleotides, 16 to 20 nucleotides, 16 to 22nucleotides, 16 to 24 nucleotides, 16 to 26 nucleotides, 18 to 20 nucleotides, 18 to 22nucleotides, 18 to 24 nucleotides, 18 to 26 nucleotides, 18 to 28 nucleotides, 20 to 22nucleotides, 20 to 24 nucleotides, 20 to 26 nucleotides, 20 to 28 nucleotides, or 20 to 30nucleotides upstream to the 5’ most nucleotide of the PBS. [0318]The corresponding positions of the intended nucleotide edit incorporated in the target gene may also be referred to based on the nicking position generated by a prime editor based on sequence homology and complementarity. For example, in some embodiments, the distance between (i.e. the number of nucleotides) the nucleotide edit to be incorporated into the target B2M gene and the nick site (also referred to as the "nick to edit distance ", wherein the number of nucleotides does not include the 5’ most nucleotide position on the second strand corresponding to the edit) may be determined by the position of the nick site and the WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 130 position of the nucleotide(s) corresponding to the intended nucleotide edit(s), for example, by identifying sequence complementarity between the spacer and the search target sequence and sequence complementarity between the editing template and the editing target sequence. In certain embodiments, the position of the nucleotide edit can be in any position downstream of the nick site on the edit strand (or the PAM strand) generated by the prime editor, such that the distance between the nick site and the intended nucleotide edit is 0,1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the position of the nucleotide edit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,21,22, 23,24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the position of the nucleotide edit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or nucleotides upstream of the nick site on the edit strand. In some embodiments, the position of the nucleotide edit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 nucleotides downstream of the nick site on the edit strand. In some embodiments, the position of the nucleotide edit is 0 base pair from the nick site on the edit strand, that is, the editing position is at the same position as the nick site. As used herein, the distance between the nick site and the nucleotide edit, for example, where the nucleotide edit comprises an insertion or deletion, refers to the 5' most position of the nucleotide edit for a nick that creates a 3’ free end on the edit strand (i.e., the "near position " of the nucleotide edit to the nick site). Similarly, as used herein, the distance between the nick site and a PAM position edit, for example, where the nucleotide edit comprises an insertion, deletion, or substitution of two or more contiguous nucleotides, refers to the 5' most position of the nucleotide edit and the 5׳ most position of the PAM sequence. [0319]In some embodiments, the editing template extends beyond a nucleotide edit to be incorporated to the target B2M gene sequence. For example, in some embodiments, the editing template comprises at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42,43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67,68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, or 80 nucleotides. [0320]In some embodiments, the editing template can comprise a second edit relative to a target sequence. The second edit can be designed to mutate or otherwise silence a PAM sequence such that a corresponding nucleic acid guided nuclease or CRISPR nuclease is no longer able to cleave the target sequence (such edits referred to as "PAM silencing edits).

[0321]Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, PAM silencing edits may prevent the Cas, e.g., Cas9, nickase, from re-nicking the edit strand before the edit is incorporated in the target strand, therefore improving prime editing efficiency. In some embodiments, a PAM silencing edit alters the sequence of a transcript or a protein sequence encoded by the B2M gene. In some embodiments, a PAM silencing edit is a synonymous edit that does not alter the amino acid sequence or the mRNA sequence encoded by the B2M gene after incorporation of the edit. In some embodiments, a PAM silencing edit is at a position corresponding to a coding region, e.g., an exon, of a B2M gene. In some embodiments, a PAM silencing edit is at a position corresponding to a non-coding region, e.g., an intron, of a B2M gene. In some embodiments, the edits in an intron of a B2M gene is not at a position that corresponds to intron-exon junction and the edit does not affect transcript splicing. [0322]In some embodiments, the length of the editing template is at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34,35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59,60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, or 80 nucleotideslonger than the nick to edit distance. In some embodiments, for example, the nick to editdistance is 8 nucleotides, and the editing template is 10 to 15, 10 to 20, 10 to 25, 10 to 30, to 35, 10 to 40, 10 to 45, 10 to 50, 10 to 55, 10 to 60, 10 to 65, 10 to 70, 10 to 75, or 10 to nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the nick to edit distance is 22 nucleotides, and the editing template is 24 to 28, 24 to 30, 24 to 32, 24 to 34, 24 to 36, 24 to 37, 24 to 38, 24 to 40, 24 to 45, 24 to 50, 24 to 55, 24 to 60, 24 to 65, 24 to 70, 24 to 75, 24 to 80, 24 to 85, 24 to 90, 24 to 95, 24 to 100, 24 to 105, 24 to 100, 24 to 105, or 24 to 110 nucleotides in length. [0323]In some embodiments, the editing template comprises an adenine at the first nucleobase position (e.g, for a PEgRNA following 5‘-spacer-gRNA core-RTT-PBS-3 ‘ orientation, the 5? most nucleobase is the "first base "). In some embodiments, the editing template comprises a guanine at the first nucleobase position (e.g., for a PEgRNA following 5?-spacer-gRNA core-RTT-PBS-3 ‘ orientation, the 5' most nucleobase is the "first base "). In some embodiments, the editing template comprises an uracil at the first nucleobase position (e.g, for a PEgRNA following 5‘-spacer-gRNA core-RTT-PBS-3 ‘ orientation, the 5' most nucleobase is the "first base "). In some embodiments, the editing template comprises a cytosine at the first nucleobase position (e.g., for a PEgRNA following 5?-spacer-gRNA core- RTT-PBS-3׳ orientation, the 5' most nucleobase is the "first base "). In some embodiments, the editing template does not comprise a cytosine at the first nucleobase position (e.g., for a WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 132 PEgRNA following 5?-spacer-gRNA core-RTT-PBS-3 ‘ orientation, the 5' most nucleobase is the "first base "). [0324]The editing template of a PEgRNA may encode a new single stranded DNA (e.g.,by reverse transcription) to replace an editing target sequence in the target gene. In some embodiments, the editing target sequence in the edit strand of the target gene is replaced by the newly synthesized strand, and the nucleotide edit(s) are incorporated in the region of the target gene. In some embodiments, the target gene is an B2M gene. In some embodiments, the editing template of the PEgRNA encodes a newly synthesized single stranded DNA that comprises a mutation or a nucleotide alteration compared to a wild type B2M gene sequence. In some embodiments, the newly synthesized DNA strand replaces the editing target sequence in the target B2M gene, wherein the editing target sequence (or the endogenous sequence complementary to the editing target sequence on the target strand of the B2M gene) comprises a wild type B2M gene. [0325]In some embodiments, the newly synthesized single stranded DNA encoded by the editing target sequence replaces the editing target sequence, and introduces a mutation in the editing target sequence of the B2M gene. [0326]In some embodiments, the editing template comprises one or more intended nucleotide edits compared to the sequence on the target strand of the B2M gene that is complementary to the editing target sequence. In some embodiments, the editing template encodes a single stranded DNA that comprises one or more intended nucleotide edits compared to the editing target sequence. In some embodiments, the single stranded DNA replaces the editing target sequence by prime editing, thereby incorporating the one or more intended nucleotide edits. In some embodiments, incorporation of the one or more intended nucleotide edits introduces the mutation in the editing target sequence compared to wild type nucleotides at corresponding positions in the B2M gene. [0327]In some embodiments, the editing target sequence comprises a mutation that is located between positions 44,711,517 -44,718,145 of human chromosome 15 according to GRCh38. [0328]For example, in some embodiments, incorporation of the one or more intended nucleotide edits results in one or more codons that are different from a wild type codon. In some embodiments, incorporation of the one or more intended nucleotide edits results in one or more codons that encode one or more amino acids different from the wild type B2M protein. In some embodiments, incorporation of the one or more intended nucleotide edits WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 133 results in one or more in frame premature stop codons, leading to a truncated polypeptide compared to the wild-type B2M protein.

The gRNA core may interact with a prime editor as described herein, for example, by association with a DNA binding domain, such as a DNA nickase of the prime editor. [0332]One of skill in the art will recognize that different prime editors having different DNA binding domains from different DNA binding proteins may require different gRNA core sequences specific to the DNA binding protein. In some embodiments, the gRNA core is capable of binding to a Cas9-based prime editor. In some embodiments, the gRNA core is capable of binding to a Cpfl-based prime editor. In some embodiments, the gRNA core is capable of bi ndi ng to a Casl2b-based prime editor. [0333]In some embodiments, the gRNA core comprises regions and secondary structures involved in binding with specific CRISPR Cas proteins. For example, in a Cas9 based prime editing system, the gRNA core of a PEgRNA may comprise one or more regions of a base paired "lower stem " adjacent to the spacer sequence and a base paired "upper stem " following the lower stem, where the lower stem and upper stem may be connected by a "bulge " comprising unpaired RNAs. The gRNA core may further comprise a "nexus " distal from the spacer sequence, followed by a hairpin structure, e.g, at the 3׳ end, as exemplified in FIG. 3. In some embodiments, the gRNA core comprises modified nucleotides as compared to a wild type gRNA core in the lower stem, upper stem, and/or the hairpin. For example, nucleotides in the lower stem, upper stem, an/or the hairpin regions may be modified, deleted, or replaced. In some embodiments, RNA nucleotides in the lower stem, upper stem, an/or the hairpin regions may be replaced with one or more DNA sequences. In some embodiments, the gRNA core comprises unmodified or wild type RNA sequences in the nexus and/or the bulge regions. In some embodiments, the gRNA core does not include long stretches of A-T pairs, for example, a GUUUU-AAAAC pairing element.

[0337]A PEgRNA may also comprise optional modifiers, e.g., 3' end modifier region and/or an 5' end modifier region. In some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprises at least one nucleotide that is not part of a spacer, a gRNA core, or an extension arm. The optional sequence modifiers could be positioned within or between any of the other regions shown, and not limited to being located at the 3' and 5' ends. In certain embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises secondary RNA structure, such as, but not limited to, aptamers, hairpins, stem/loops, toeloops, and/or RNA-binding protein recruitment domains (e.g., the MSaptamer which recruits and binds to the MS2cp protein). In some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprises a short stretch of uracil at the 5' end or the 3' end. For example, in some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprising a 3' extension arm comprises a "UUU" sequence at the 3' end of the extension arm. In some embodiments, a PEgRNA comprises a toeloop sequence at the 3' end. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises a 3' extension arm and a toeloop sequence at the 3' end of the extension arm. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises a 5' extension arm and a toeloop sequence at the 5' end of the extension arm. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises a toeloop element having the sequence 5'- GAAANNNNN-3‘, wherein N is any nucleobase. In some embodiments, the secondary RNA structure is positioned within the spacer. In some embodiments, the secondary structure is positioned within the extension arm. In some embodiments, the secondary structure is positioned within the gRNA core. In some embodiments, the secondary structure is positioned between the spacer and the gRNA core, between the gRNA core and the extension arm, or between the spacer and the extension arm. In some embodiments, the secondary structure is positioned between the PBS and the editing template. In some embodiments the secondary structure is positioned at the 3' end or at the 5' end of the PEgRNA. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises a transcriptional termination signal at the 3' end of the PEgRNA. In addition to secondary RNA structures, the PEgRNA may comprise a chemical linker or a poly(N) linker or tail, where "N" can be any nucleobase. In some embodiments, the chemical linker may function to prevent reverse transcription of the gRNA core. [0338]In some embodiments, a prime editing system or composition further comprises a nick guide polynucleotide, such as a nick guide RNA (ngRNA). In some embodiments, a ngRNA comprises a spacer (referred to as a ngRNA spacer or ng spacer) and a gRNA core, wherein the spacer of the ngRNA comprises a region of complementarity to the edit strand, and wherein the gRNA core can interact with a Cas, e.g., Cas9, of a prime editor.

In some embodiments, the nick on the non-edit strand directs endogenous DNA repair machinery to use the edit strand as a template for repair of the non-edit strand, which may increase efficiency of prime editing. In some embodiments, the non-edit strand is nicked by a prime editor localized to the non-edit strand by the ngRNA. Accordingly, also provided herein are PEgRNA systems comprising at least one PEgRNA and at least one ngRNA. [0339]A prime editing system comprising a PEgRNA (or one or more polynucleotide encoding the PEgRNA) and a prime editor protein (or one or more polynucleotides encoding the prime editor), may be referred to as a PE2 prime editing system and the corresponding editing approach referred to as PE2 approach or PE2 strategy.

In some embodiments, an ngRNA spacer sequence is complementary to a portion of the edit strand that includes the intended nucleotide edit, and may hybridize with the edit strand only after the edit has been incorporated on the edit strand. Such ngRNA may be referred to a "PE3b" ngRNA, and the prime editing system a PE3b prime editing system. [0340]In some embodiments, a PEgRNA or a nick guide RNA (ngRNA) can be chemically synthesized, or can be assembled or cloned and transcribed from a DNA sequence, e.g., a plasmid DNA sequence, or by any RNA oligonucleotide synthesis method known in the art. In some embodiments, DNA sequence that encodes a PEgRNA (or ngRNA) may be designed to append one or more nucleotides at the 5? end or the 3' end of the PEgRNA (or nick guide RNA) encoding sequence to enhance PEgRNA transcription. For example, in some embodiments, a DNA sequence that encodes a PEgRNA (or nick guide RNA) (or an ngRNA) may be designed to append a nucleotide G at the 5' end. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the PEgRNA (or nick guide RNA) may comprise an appended nucleotide G at the 5' end. In some embodiments, a DNA sequence that encodes a PEgRNA (or nick guide RNA) may be designed to append a sequence that enhances transcription, e.g., a Kozak sequence, at the 5' end. In some embodiments, a DNA sequence that encodes a PEgRNA (or nick guide RNA) may be designed to append the sequence CACC or CCACC at the 5' end. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the PEgRNA (or nick guide RNA) may comprise an appended sequence CACC or CCACC at the 5' end.

In some embodiments, a PEgRNA or ngRNA may include a modifying sequence at the 3' end having the sequence AACAUUGACGCGUCUCUACGUGGGGGCGCG (SEQ ID NO: 745). In some embodiments, a PEgRNA or a ngRNA comprises the sequence TTTT at the 3' end.

The sequences in TTTT and TTTTTTT are RNA sequences, "T" is used instead of a "U" in the sequences for consistency with the ST.26 standard. [0341]In some embodiments, the ng search target sequence is located on the non-target strand, within 10 base pairs to 100 base pairs of an intended nucleotide edit incorporated by the PEgRNA on the edit strand. In some embodiments, the ng target search target sequence is within 10 bp, 20 bp, 30 bp, 40 bp, 50 bp, 60 bp, 70 bp, 80 bp, 90 bp, 91 bp, 92 bp, 93 bp, bp, 95 bp, 96 bp, 97 bp, 98 bp, 99 bp, or 100 bp of an intended nucleotide edit incorporated by the PEgRNA on the edit strand. In some embodiments, the 5' ends of the ng search target sequence and the PEgRNA search target sequence are within 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 bp apart from each other. In some embodiments, the 5' ends of the ng search target sequence and the PEgRNA search target sequence are within 10 bp, 20 bp, 30 bp, 40 bp, 50 bp, 60 bp, bp, 80 bp, 90 bp, 91 bp, 92 bp, 93 bp, 94 bp, 95 bp, 96 bp, 97 bp, 98 bp, 99 bp, or 100 bp apart from each other. [0342]In some embodiments, an ng spacer sequence is complementary to, and may hybridize with the second search target sequence only after an intended nucleotide edit has been incorporated on the edit strand, by the editing template of a PEgRNA. In some embodiments, such a prime editing system maybe referred to as a "PE3b" prime editing system or composition. In some embodiments, the ngRNA comprises a spacer sequence that matches only the edit strand after incorporation of the nucleotide edits, but not the endogenous target gene sequence on the edit strand. Accordingly, in some embodiments, an intended nucleotide edit is incorporated within the ng search target sequence.

[0343]Exemplary combinations of PEgRNA components, e.g., spacer, PBS, and edit template/RTT, exemplary full-length PEgRNAs, as well as combinations of PEgRNA and corresponding ngRNA(s) are provided in Tables 1-21. Tables 1-21 each contain three columns. The left column is the sequence number. The middle column provides the sequence of the component, labeled with a SEQ ID NO where required by ST.26 standard. Although all the sequences provided in Tables 1-21 are RNA sequences, "T" is used instead of a "U" in the sequences for consistency with the ST.26 standard. The right column contains a description of the sequence. [0344]The disclosed RTT and hill-length PEgRNA are designed to disrupt the coding sequence of the B2M gene. The RTTs and hill-length PEgRNAs in Tables 1-21 encode edits that, when integrated into the B2M gene, result in one or more premature in frame stop codons compared to a wild-type B2M gene sequence. The RTTs and PEgRNAs can thus be used to reduce or eliminate expression of B2M protein encoded by the B2M gene. [0345]The PEgRNAs exemplified in Tables 1-21 comprise: (a) a spacer comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to a listed PEgRNA spacersequence; (b) a gRNA core capable of complexing with a Cas9 protein, and (c) an extension arm comprising: (i) an editing template comprising at its 3’ end any RTT sequence from the same table as the PEgRNA spacer, and (ii) a prime binding site (PBS) comprising at its 5’ end any PBS sequence from the same table as the PEgRNA spacer. The spacers in Tables 1-21 each corresponds to a NGG PAM sequence, wherein N refers to any one of nucleotide A, G, C, or T. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the PEgRNA spacers and PEgRNAs exemplified in Tables 1-21 can be used with a prime editor comprising any appropriate Cas9 protein capable of recognizing an NGG PAM, e.g., a SpCas9 H840A nickase. Additional exemplary Casvariants that can recognize an NGG PAM sequence are provided in Table 23. The PEgRNA spacer can be, for example, 17-22 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA spacer is 20 nucleotides in length. [0346]The editing template can be referred to as a reverse transcription template (RTT). The disclosed RTTs and full-length PEgRNAs in Tables 1-21 are designed to disrupt the B2M gene by introducing premature stop codons and frame shift mutations into the B2M gene. For example, certain exemplary RTTs disclosed in Tables 1-21 and corresponding full-length PEgRNAs are designed to insert two consecutive in frame stop codons (e.g., TAATAA) into the B2M gene. Alternatively, other exemplaryRTT disclosed in Tables 1-21 and full-length PEgRNA are designed to introduce a frameshift mutation into the B2M gene by a single WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 141 nucleotide insertion c.50insG or a single nucleotide deletion c.51delC. The edits encoded or comprised by the RTTs and the full length PEgRNAs are indicated in the Description column of Tables 1-21 .In some of Tables 1-21, RTTs are further annotated with a * followed by a number code. As described below, a PE3b ngRNA spacer annotated with the same * and number code as an RTT in the same Table has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit by a PEgRNA containing the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 or more contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 or more contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 8 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 8 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 10 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 10 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. [0347]The PBS can be, for example, 5 to 17 nucleotides in length. [0348]The PEgRNA provided in Tables 1-21 can comprise, from 5’ to 3’, the spacer, the gRNA core, the edit template, and the PBS. The 3’ end of the edit template can be contiguous with the 5’ end of the PBS. The PEgRNA can comprise multiple RNA molecules or can be a single RNA molecule. Any PEgRNA exemplified in Tables 1-21 may comprise, or further comprise, a 3’ motif at the 3’ end of the extension arm, such as a universal motif, a sequence specific motif, or a series of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more U nucleotides. In some embodiments, a universal or structural 3’ motif that is capable of forming a tertiary structure on its own such as a hairpin, a pseudoknot, or other RNA structure is used. In some embodiments, a sequence specific motif is used that is designed to hybridize with a portion of the RTT while not WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 142 covering the PBS. Whether a universal or sequence specific motif is used, it can be connected to the 3’ of the PBS via a linker sequence. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises U nucleotides at its 3’ end. The 4 consecutive U nucleotides in exemplary PEgRNAs in Tables 1-21 are included in the sequences. Without being bound by theory, such 3’ motifs are believed to increase PEgRNA stability. The PEgRNA may be chemically synthesized and may alternatively or additionally comprise one or more chemical modifications, such as phosphorothioate (PS) bond(s), 2’-O-methylated (2’-Ome) nucleotides, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprise 3’ mN*mN*mN*N and 5’mN*mN*mN* modifications, where m indicates that the nucleotide contains a 2’-O-Me modification and a * indicates the presence of a phosphorothioate bond. PEgRNA sequences exemplified in Tables 1-21 may alternatively be adapted for expression from a nucleic acid template with a U6 promoter, for example, by including a 5’ terminal G if the spacer of the PEgRNA begins with another nucleotide, by including 6 or 7 U nucleotides at the 3’ end of the extension arm, or both. Such transcription-adapted sequences may further comprise a universal or sequence specific motif between the PBS and the 3’ terminal U series. [0349]In some embodiments, the gRNA core for the PEgRNA comprises a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 646, 647, 648, 649, 650, 651, 652, 653, 654, 656, 657, 658, 660.

[0350]Any of the PEgRNAs of Tables 1-21 can be used in a Prime Editing system further comprising a nick guide RNA (ngRNA). Such ngRNA can comprise a spacer and a gRNA core capable of complexing with a Cas9 protein. It can be advantageous to select a ngRNA spacer that has a PAM sequence compatible with the Cas9 protein used in the Prime Editor, thus avoiding the need to use two different Cas9 proteins. The ngRNA is capable of directing a complexed Cas9 protein to bind the edit strand of the B2M gene; thus, a complexed Casnickase containing a nuclease inactivating mutation in the HNH domain will nick the non- edit strand. A PE3 ngRNA spacer has perfect complementarity to the edit strand both pre- and post-edit; a PE3b ngRNA spacer has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit. A PE3b spacer annotated with a * followed by a number code has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit with a PEgRNA containing an RTT from the same Table and annotated with the same number code. [0351]Specific nucleotide changes encoded by the PEgRNAs are annotated in Tables 1-by referring to locations in the coding sequence of a wildtype B2M gene, where c.xx or c.xx_yy refer to position xx or between positions xx and yy in the coding sequence of a wildtype B2M gene. For example, annotation c.54_55insTAAG (or c.54insTAAG, or C.54TAAG insertion) means an insertion of nucleotide sequence TAAG between positions corresponding to positions 54 and 55 of the coding sequence in a wildtype B2M gene; c.60_65delinsTAATAG means deletion of nucleotides corresponding to nucleotides 60 to in the coding sequence a wildtype B2M gene, and insertion of nucleotide sequence TAATAG at the deletion site. Unless otherwise specified, chromosome locations and coding sequence positions are as set forth in Genome Reference Consortium Human Build 38 (GrCH38). [0352]Table 1 provides exemplary Prime Editing guide RNAs (PEgRNAs) and components designed to disrupt the B2M gene by encoding the insertion of two in frame stop codons or a frameshift mutation into the B2M gene. The PEgRNAs in Table 1 can be used with any Prime Editor containing an appropriate Cas9 protein capable of recognizing an NGG PAM sequence, wherein N refers to any one of nucleotide A, G, C, or T. Exemplary Cas9 variants that can recognize an NGG PAM sequence are provided in Table 23. [0353]The PEgRNAs exemplified in Table 1 comprise: (a) a spacer comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to sequence number 4; (b) a gRNA core capable of complexing with a Cas9 protein, and (c) an extension arm comprising: (i) an editing template comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 18, 19, 20, and 900- 929 and (ii) a prime binding site (PBS) comprising at its 5’ end a sequence corresponding to WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 144 sequence number 5. The PEgRNA spacer can be, for example, 17-22 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA spacer is 17-20 nucleotides in length, and can comprise the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1-4. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA spacer comprises sequence number 1. The editing template can be referred to as a reverse transcription template (RTT). The editing templates exemplified in Table 1 are designed to disrupt the B2M gene. The disrupting edit can be introduced into any suitable position in the B2M gene, e.g., in the coding region of the B2M gene, for example, at a position corresponding to positions c.54, c.66, or c.60 of the coding sequence of a wildtype B2M gene. The editing template can encode an insertion of one or more in frame stop codons, e.g., two consecutive in frame stop codons into the B2M gene, e.g., a C.54TAATAA insertion, as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to sequence number 18, 19, or 20; a c.54_55TAATAA insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 916-919 and 928-929; or a c.66_67insTAATAA insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of in sequence numbers 920-923. Alternatively, the editing template can encode a frameshift mutation in the B2M gene, e.g., a c.66_67insCC insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 900-903; a c.66_67insCC insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 904- 907; a c.54_55insTAAG insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 908-911; a c.66_67insTAAG insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 912-915; or a c.60_65deletion_TAATAG insertion (c.60_65_delinsTAATAG) as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 924-927. The edit that disrupts the B2M gene expression can be proximal relative to the nick position (i.e. three nucleotides upstream of the 5’ most nucleotide of the PAM sequence). For example, the nick-to-edit distance for the disrupting edit (i.e. non-synonymous edit that disrupts B2M coding sequence) can be 2 nucleotides, as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 900-903, 908-911, 916-919, and 928-929. In such cases where the non-synonymous edit is with the position corresponding to the PAM sequence (i.e. the nick-to-edit distance of WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 145 the non-synonymous edit is 0 to 2), the edit can also be a PAM-silencing edit, e.g., a NGG- >NGC edit, that alters the PAM sequence. Without being bound by theory, a PAM-silencing edit can prevent the corresponding nucleic acid guided nuclease or CRISPR nuclease or nickase in the Prime Editor from cleaving the target sequence once the PAM-silencing edit is incorporated, thereby improving editing efficiency. The edit that disrupts the B2M gene expression can also be distal relative to the nick position. For example, the nick-to-edit distance for the disrupting edit (i.e. non-synonymous edit that disrupts B2M coding sequence) can be 8 nucleotides, as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 924-927, or 14 nucleotides as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 904-907, 912-915, and 920-923. In cases where the non- synonymous disrupting edit is more distal from the nick site, the editing template can further encode a synonymous or non-synonymous PAM-silencing edit, for example, a c.58G->C (NGG->NGC PAM silencing) edit. B2M disrupting edits and PAM-silencing edits are indicated for the exemplary editing templates in the right column of Table 1. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 or more contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 or more contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 6 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 6 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 8 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 8 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 10 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT.

Any PEgRNA exemplified in Table may comprise, or further comprise, a 3’ motif at the 3’ end of the extension arm, such as a universal motif, a sequence specific motif, or a series of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more U nucleotides. In some embodiments, a universal or structural 3’ motif that is capable of forming a tertiary structure on its own such as a hairpin, a pseudoknot, or other RNA structure is used. In some embodiments, a sequence specific motif is used that is designed to hybridize with a portion of the RTT while not covering the PBS. Whether a universal or sequence specific motif is used, it can be connected to the 3’ of the PBS via a linker sequence. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises 4 U nucleotides at its 3’ end.

[0356]Any of the PEgRNAs of Table 1 can be used in a Prime Editing system further comprising a nick guide RNA (ngRNA). Such ngRNA can comprise a spacer comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to nucleotides 4-20 of any ngRNA spacer listed in Table I and a gRNA core capable of complexing with a Cas9 protein. For example, the sequence in the spacer of the ngRNA can comprise nucleotides 4-20, 3-20, 2-20, or 1-20 of any one of sequence numbers 1017-1024. In some embodiments, the spacer of the ngRNA is a ngRNA WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 147 spacer listed in Table 1. It can be advantageous to select a ngRNA spacer that has a PAM sequence compatible with the Cas9 protein used in the Prime Editor, thus avoiding the need to use two different Cas9 proteins. The ngRNA is capable of directing a complexed Casprotein to bind the edit strand (the PAM strand) of the B2M gene; thus, a complexed Casnickase containing a nuclease inactivating mutation in the HNH domain will nick the non- edit strand. A PE3 ngRNA spacer has perfect complementarity to the edit strand both pre- and post-edit; a PE3b ngRNA spacer has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit. A PE3b ngRNA spacer in Table 1 annotated with the same * and number code as an RTT in Table 1 has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit by a PEgRNA containing the RTT. [0357]Exemplary ngRNAs provided in Table 1 can comprise a sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1025-1032.

The RTTs exemplified in Table 8 are designed to disrupt the B2M gene by introducing one or more in frame premature stop codons in the coding sequence of the B2M gene. For example, the editing template can encode an insertion of two consecutive stop codons or the complement thereof the two consecutive stop codons. In some embodiments, the insertion comprises a c.54insTAATAA edit. An exemplary RTT can comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to nucleotides 13-24, 12-24, 11-24, 10-24, 9-24, 8-24, 7-24, 6-24, 5- 24, 4-24, 3-24, 2-24, or 1-24 of sequence number 221. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to sequence number 219, 220, or 221. Alternatively, the editing template can encode one or more frame shift mutations relative to the wildtype B2M gene. For example, the frame shift mutation can be a c.51delC deletion or the complement thereof. An exemplary RTT can comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to nucleotides 12-20, 11-20, 10-20, 9-20, 8-20, 7-20, 6-20, 5-20, 4-20, 3-20, 2- 20, or 1-20 of sequence number 227. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to sequence number 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, or 227.Alternatively, the frame shift mutation can be a c.50insG insertion or the complement thereof. An exemplary RTT can comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to nucleotides 7- 17, 6-17, 5-17, 4-17, 3-17, 2-17, or 1-17 of sequence number 231. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to sequence numbe228, 229, 230, or 231. Nucleotide changes introduced by the edits encoded in the RTTs and PEgRNAs are indicated in the right column of Table 8. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. [0380]The PBS can be, for example, 5 to 17 nucleotides in length and can comprise the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 206-218.

[0381]The PEgRNA can comprise, from 5’ to 3’, the spacer, the gRNA core, the edit template, and the PBS. The 3’ end of the edit template can be contiguous with the 5’ end of the PBS. The PEgRNA can comprise multiple RNA molecules or can be a single RNA molecule. Exemplary PEgRNAs provided in Table 8 can comprise a sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, or 262. Any PEgRNA exemplified in Table 8 may comprise, or further comprise, a 3’ motif at the 3’ end of the extension arm, such as a universal motif, a sequence specific motif, or a series of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more U nucleotides. In some embodiments, a universal or structural 3’ motif that is capable of forming a tertiary structure on its own such as a hairpin, a pseudoknot, or other RNA structure is used. In some embodiments, a sequence specific motif is used that is designed to hybridize with a portion of the RTT while not covering the PBS. Whether a universal or sequence specific motif is used, it can be connected to the 3’ of the PBS via a linker sequence. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises 4 U nucleotides at its 3’ end. Without being bound by theory, such 3’ motifs are believed to increase PEgRNA stability. The PEgRNA may alternatively or additionally comprise one or more chemical modifications, such as phosphorothioate (PS) bond(s), 2’-O-methylated (2’- Ome) nucleotides, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprise 3’ mN*mN*mN*N and 5’mN*mN*mN* modifications, where m indicates that the nucleotide contains a 2’-O-Me modification and a * indicates the presence of a phosphorothioate bond. PEgRNA sequences exemplified in Table 8 may alternatively be adapted for expression from a nucleic acid template with a U6 promoter, for example, by including a 5’ terminal G if the spacer of the PEgRNA begins with another nucleotide, by including 6 or 7 U nucleotides at the 3’ end of the extension arm, or both. Such transcription-adapted sequences may further comprise a universal or sequence specific motif between the PBS and the 3’ terminal U series. The modifications included in the selection of full length PEgRNAs included in Table are annotated in column 3 of Table 8. [0382]Any of the PEgRNAs of Table 8 can be used in a Prime Editing system further comprising a nick guide RNA (ngRNA). Such ngRNA can comprise a spacer comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to nucleotides 4-20 of any ngRNA spacer listed in Table and a gRNA core capable of complexing with a Cas9 protein. For example, the sequence in the spacer of the ngRNA can comprise nucleotides 4-20, 3-20, 2-20, or 1-20 of any one of sequence numbers 263-268. In some embodiments, the spacer of the ngRNA is a ngRNA WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 158 spacer listed in Table 8. It can be advantageous to select a ngRNA spacer that has a PAM sequence compatible with the Cas9 protein used in the Prime Editor, thus avoiding the need to use two different Cas9 proteins. The ngRNA is capable of directing a complexed Casprotein to bind the edit strand of the B2M gene; thus, a complexed Cas9 nickase containing a nuclease inactivating mutation in the HNH domain will nick the non-edit strand. A PEngRNA spacer has perfect complementarity to the edit strand both pre- and post-edit; a PE3b ngRNA spacer has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit. A PE3b ngRNA spacer in Table 8 annotated with the same * and number code as an RTT in Table 8 has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit by a PEgRNA containing the RTT. [0383]Exemplary ngRNAs provided in Table 8 can comprise a sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 824-827. A PE3 ngRNA has perfect complementarity to the edit strand both pre- and post-edit; a PE3b ngRNA has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit. A PE3b ngRNA in Table 8 annotated with the same * and number code as an RTT in Table 8 has perfect complementarity in its spacer to the edit strand post-edit by a PEgRNA containing the RTT. [0384]Any ngRNA exemplified in Table 8 may comprise, or further comprise a series of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more U nucleotides. The ngRNA may alternatively or additionally comprise one or more chemical modifications, such as phosphorothioate (PS) bond(s), 2’-O-methylated (2’-Ome) nucleotides, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the ngRNA comprise 3’ mN*mN*mN*N and 5’mN*mN*mN* modifications, where m indicates that the nucleotide contains a 2’-O-Me modification and a * indicates the presence of a phosphorothioate bond. ngRNA sequences exemplified in Table 8 may alternatively be adapted for expression from a nucleic acid template with a U6 promoter, for example, by including a 5’ terminal G if the spacer of the ngRNA begins with another nucleotide, by including 6 or 7 U nucleotides at the 3’ end of the extension arm, or both. [0385]Table 9 provides exemplary Prime Editing guide RNAs (PEgRNAs) and components designed to disrupt the B2M gene by encoding the insertion of two in frame stop codons or a frameshift mutation into the B2M gene. The PEgRNAs in Table 9 can be used with any Prime Editor containing an appropriate Cas9 protein capable of recognizing an NGG PAM sequence, wherein N refers to any one of nucleotide A, G, C, or T. Exemplary Cas9 variants that can recognize an NGG PAM sequence are provided in Table 23. [0386]The PEgRNAs exemplified in Table 9 comprise: (a) a spacer comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to sequence number 272; (b) a gRNA core capable of complexing WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 159 with a Cas9 protein, and (c) an extension arm comprising: (i) an editing template comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 286-288 and 1033- 1063, and (ii) a prime binding site (PBS) comprising at its 5’ end a sequence corresponding to sequence number 273. The PEgRNA spacer can be, for example, 17-22 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA spacer is 17-20 nucleotides in length, and can comprise the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 269, 270, 271, or 272. In some embodiments, the PEgRNa spacer comprises sequence number 269. The editing template can be referred to as a reverse transcription template (RTT). The RTTs exemplified in Table 9 are designed to disrupt the B2M. The disrupting edit can be introduced into any suitable position in the B2M gene, e.g., in the coding region of the B2M gene, for example, at a position corresponding to positions c.21, or c.3 of the coding sequence of a wildtype B2M gene. The editing template can encode an insertion of one or more in frame stop codons, e.g., two consecutive in frame stop codons into the B2M gene, e.g., a c.21insTAATAA insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 286-288, 1049-1052, and 1061-1063; or a c.3_4insTAATAA insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1053-1056. Alternatively, the editing template can encode a frameshift mutation in the B2M gene, e.g., a c.21_22insCC insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1033-1036; a c.3_4insCC insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1037-1040; a c.21_22insTAAG insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1041-1044; a c.3_4insTAAG insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1045- 1048; or a c.3_8deletion_TAATGA insertion (c.60_65_delinsTAATGA) as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1057-1060 . [0387]The edit that disrupts the B2M gene expression can be proximal relative to the nick position (i.e. three nucleotides upstream of the 5’ most nucleotide of the PAM sequence). For example, the nick-to-edit distance for the disrupting edit (i.e. non-synonymous edit that disrupts B2M coding sequence) can be 1 nucleotide, as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 286- WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 160 288, 1033-1036, 1041-1044, 1049-1052, and 1061-1063. In such cases where the non- synonymous edit is with the position corresponding to the PAM sequence (i.e. the nick-to- edit distance of the non-synonymous edit is 0 to 2), the edit can also be a PAM-silencing edit, e.g., an NGG->NGC edit, that alters the PAM sequence. Without being bound by theory, a PAM-silencing edit can prevent the corresponding nucleic acid guided nuclease or CRISPR nuclease or nickase in the Prime Editor from cleaving the target sequence once the PAM- silencing edit is incorporated, thereby improving editing efficiency. The edit that disrupts the B2M gene expression can also be distal relative to the nick position. For example, the nick- to-edit distance for the disrupting edit (i.e. non-synonymous edit that disrupts B2M coding sequence) can be 19 nucleotides, as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1037-1040, 1045-1048, and 1053-1056. In cases where the non-synonymous disrupting edit is more distal from the nick site, the editing template can further encode a synonymous or non-synonymous PAM- silencing edit, for example, a c.17C->G (NGG->NGC PAM silencing) edit. B2M disrupting edits and PAM-silencing edits are indicated for the exemplary editing templates in the right column of Table 9. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,21,22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 or more contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 or more contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 6 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 6 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 8 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 8 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 10 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 10 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT.

[0388]The PBS can be, for example, 5 to 17 nucleotides in length and can comprise the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 273-285.

The PEgRNA can comprise multiple RNA molecules or can be a single RNA molecule. Exemplary PEgRNAs provided in Table 9 can comprise a sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 289- 297 and 1064-1151.

In some embodiments, a universal or structural 3’ motif that is capable of forming a tertiary structure on its own such as a hairpin, a pseudoknot, or other RNA structure is used. In some embodiments, a sequence specific motif is used that is designed to hybridize with a portion of the RTT while not covering the PBS. Whether a universal or sequence specific motif is used, it can be connected to the 3’ of the PBS via a linker sequence. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises 4 U nucleotides at its 3’ end. Without being bound by theory, such 3’ motifs are believed to increase PEgRNA stability. The PEgRNA may alternatively or additionally comprise one or more chemical modifications, such as phosphorothioate (PS) bond(s), 2’-O-methylated (2’-Ome) nucleotides, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprise 3’ mN*mN*mN*N and 5’mN*mN*mN* modifications, where m indicates that the nucleotide contains a 2’-O-Me modification and a * indicates the presence of a phosphorothioate bond. PEgRNA sequences exemplified in Table 9 may alternatively be adapted for expression from a nucleic acid template with a U6 promoter, for example, by including a 5’ terminal G if the spacer of the PEgRNA begins with another nucleotide, by including 6 or 7 U nucleotides at the 3’ end of the extension arm, or both. Such transcription-adapted sequences may further comprise a universal or sequence specific motif between the PBS and the 3’ terminal U series. [0390]Any of the PEgRNAs of Table 9 can be used in a Prime Editing system further comprising a nick guide RNA (ngRNA). Such ngRNA can comprise a spacer comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to nucleotides 4-20 of any ngRNA spacer listed in Table and a gRNA core capable of complexing with a Cas9 protein. For example, the sequence in the spacer of the ngRNA can comprise nucleotides 4-20, 3-20, 2-20, or 1-20 of any one of sequence numbers 1152-1156. In some embodiments, the spacer of the ngRNA is a ngRNA WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 162 spacer listed in Table 9. It can be advantageous to select a ngRNA spacer that has a PAM sequence compatible with the Cas9 protein used in the Prime Editor, thus avoiding the need to use two different Cas9 proteins. The ngRNA is capable of directing a complexed Casprotein to bind the edit strand (the PAM strand) of the B2M gene; thus, a complexed Casnickase containing a nuclease inactivating mutation in the HNH domain will nick the non- edit strand. A PE3 ngRNA spacer has perfect complementarity to the edit strand both pre- and post-edit; a PE3b ngRNA spacer has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit.

[0393]Table 10 provides exemplary Prime Editing guide RNAs (PEgRNAs) and components designed to disrupt the B2M gene by encoding the insertion of two in frame stop codons into the B2M gene, for example, c.21InsTAATAA. [0394]The PEgRNAs exemplified in Table 10 comprise: (a) a spacer comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to sequence number 301; (b) a gRNA core capable of complexing with a Cas9 protein, and (c) an extension arm comprising: (i) an editing template comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 315-317, and (ii) a WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 163 prime binding site (PBS) comprising at its 5’ end a sequence corresponding to sequence number 302.

In some embodiments, the PEgRNA spacer comprises sequence number 298. The editing template can be referred to as a reverse transcription template (RTT). The RTTs exemplified in Table are designed to disrupt the B2M gene by encoding the insertion of two in frame stop codons or the complement thereof into the B2M gene, e.g., a C.21TAATAA insertion. For example, the editing template can comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to sequence number 315, 316, or 317. The PBS can be, for example, 5 to 17 nucleotides in length and can comprise the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 302- 314.

Such transcription-adapted sequences may further comprise a universal or sequence specific motif between the PBS and the 3’ terminal U series. The modifications included in the selection of full length PEgRNAs included in Table are annotated in column 3 of Table 10. [0396]Table 11 provides exemplary Prime Editing guide RNAs (PEgRNAs) and components designed to disrupt the B2M gene by encoding the insertion of two in frame stop codons or a frameshift mutation into the B2M gene. The PEgRNAs in Table 11 can be used with any Prime Editor containing an appropriate Cas9 protein capable of recognizing an NGG PAM sequence, wherein N refers to any one of nucleotide A, G, C, or T. Exemplary Cas9 variants that can recognize an NGG PAM sequence are provided in Table 23. [0397]The PEgRNAs exemplified in Table 11 comprise: (a) a spacer comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to sequence number 330; (b) a gRNA core capable of complexing with a Cas9 protein, and (c) an extension arm comprising: (i) an editing template comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 344-346 and 1162- 1191, and (ii) a prime binding site (PBS) comprising at its 5’ end a sequence corresponding to sequence number 331. The PEgRNA spacer can be, for example, 17-22 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA spacer is 17-20 nucleotides in length, and can comprise the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 327, 328, 329, or 330. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA spacer comprises sequence number 327. The editing template can be referred to as a reverse transcription template (RTT). The RTTs exemplified in Table 11 are designed to disrupt the B2M gene. The disrupting edit can be introduced into any suitable position in the B2M gene, e.g., in the coding region of the B2M gene, for example, at a position corresponding to positions c.21, c.15, or c.3 of the coding sequence of a wildtype B2M gene. The editing template can encode an insertion of one or more in frame stop codons, e.g., two consecutive in frame stop codons into the B2M gene, e.g., a c.21insTAATAA insertion, as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 344-346; a c.l5_16insTAATAA insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1178-1181 and 1191; or a c.3_4insTAATAA insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of in sequence numbers 1182-1185. Alternatively, the editing template can encode a frameshift mutation in the B2M gene, e.g., a c.l5_16insCC insertion WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 165 as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1162-1165; a c.3_4insCC insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1166-1169; a c.l5_16insTAAG insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1170-1173; a c.3_4insTAAG insertion as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1174- 1177; or a c.3_8deletion_TAATGA insertion (c.3_8delinsTAATGA) as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1186-1190. [0398]The edit that disrupts the B2M gene expression can be proximal relative to the nick position (i.e. three nucleotides upstream of the 5’ most nucleotide of the PAM sequence). For example, the nick-to-edit distance for the disrupting edit (i.e. non-synonymous edit that disrupts B2M coding sequence) can be 1 nucleotides, as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1162- 1165, 1170-1173, 1178-1181, and 1191. In such cases where the non-synonymous edit is with the position corresponding to the PAM sequence (i.e. the nick-to-edit distance of the non-synonymous edit is 0 to 2), the edit can also be a PAM-silencing edit, e.g., a NGG- >NGC edit, that alters the PAM sequence. Without being bound by theory, a PAM-silencing edit can prevent the corresponding nucleic acid guided nuclease or CRISPR nuclease or nickase in the Prime Editor from cleaving the target sequence once the PAM-silencing edit is incorporated, thereby improving editing efficiency. [0399]The edit that disrupts the B2M gene expression can also be distal relative to the nick position. For example, the nick-to-edit distance for the disrupting edit (i.e. non-synonymous edit that disrupts B2M coding sequence) can be 13 nucleotides, as exemplified by an editing template that comprise at its 3’ end the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 1166-1169, 1174-1177, or 1182-1185. In cases where the non-synonymous disrupting edit is more distal from the nick site, the editing template can further encode a synonymous or non-synonymous PAM-silencing edit, for example, a c.l 1C->G (NGG- >NGC PAM silencing) edit. B2M disrupting edits and PAM-silencing edits are indicated for the exemplary editing templates in the right column of Table 11. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 166 RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 or more contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 or more contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT.

In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 10 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 10 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. In some embodiments, the RTT comprises at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 contiguous nucleotides of complementarity with the edit strand, wherein the at least 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 contiguous nucleotides are located upstream of the 5’ most edit in the RTT. [0400]. The PBS can be, for example, 5 to 17 nucleotides in length and can comprise the sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 331-343.

Exemplary PEgRNAs provided in Table 11 can comprise a sequence corresponding to any one of sequence numbers 347- 355 and 1192-1279. Any PEgRNA exemplified in Table 11 may comprise, or further comprise, a 3’ motif at the 3’ end of the extension arm, such as a universal motif, a sequence specific motif, or a series of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more U nucleotides. In some embodiments, a universal or structural 3’ motif that is capable of forming a tertiary structure on its own such as a hairpin, a pseudoknot, or other RNA structure is used. In some embodiments, a sequence specific motif is used that is designed to hybridize with a portion of the RTT while not covering the PBS. Whether a universal or sequence specific motif is used, it can be connected to the 3’ of the PBS via a linker sequence. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprises 4 U nucleotides at its 3’ end. Without being bound by theory, such 3’ motifs are believed to increase PEgRNA stability. The PEgRNA may alternatively or additionally comprise one or more chemical modifications, such as phosphorothioate (PS) bond(s), 2’-O-methylated (2’-Ome) WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 167 nucleotides, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA comprise 3’ mN*mN*mN*N and 5’mN*mN*mN* modifications, where m indicates that the nucleotide contains a 2’-O-Me modification and a * indicates the presence of a phosphorothioate bond.

Such transcription-adapted sequences may further comprise a universal or sequence specific motif between the PBS and the 3’ terminal U series.. [0402]Any of the PEgRNAs of Table 11 can be used in a Prime Editing system further comprising a nick guide RNA (ngRNA). Such ngRNA can comprise a spacer comprising at its 3’ end a sequence corresponding to nucleotides 4-20 of any ngRNA spacer listed in Table and a gRNA core capable of complexing with a Cas9 protein. For example, the sequence in the spacer of the ngRNA can comprise nucleotides 4-20, 3-20, 2-20, or 1-20 of any one of sequence numbers 1280-1284. In some embodiments, the spacer of the ngRNA is a ngRNA spacer listed in Table 11. It can be advantageous to select a ngRNA spacer that has a PAM sequence compatible with the Cas9 protein used in the Prime Editor, thus avoiding the need to use two different Cas9 proteins. The ngRNA is capable of directing a complexed Casprotein to bind the edit strand (the PAM strand) of the B2M gene; thus, a complexed Casnickase containing a nuclease inactivating mutation in the HNH domain will nick the non- edit strand. A PE3 ngRNA spacer has perfect complementarity to the edit strand both pre- and post-edit; a PE3b ngRNA spacer has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit. A PE3b ngRNA spacer in Table 11 annotated with the same * and number code as an RTT in Table 11 has perfect complementarity to the edit strand post-edit by a PEgRNA containing the RTT.

In some embodiments, the element may be selected from other RNA sequence motifs that are enriched in either fast- or slow-decaying transcripts. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide, e.g., a vector, encoding the PE or the PEgRNA may be self-destroyed via WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 195 cleavage of a target sequence present on the polynucleotide, e.g., a vector. The cleavage may prevent continued transcription of a PE or a PEgRNA. [0472]Polynucleotides encoding prime editing composition components can be DNA, RNA, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide encoding a prime editing composition component is an expression construct. In some embodiments, a polynucleotide encoding a prime editing composition component is a vector. In some embodiments, the vector is a DNA vector. In some embodiments, the vector is a plasmid. In some embodiments, the vector is a virus vector, e.g., a retroviral vector, adenoviral vector, lentiviral vector, herpesvirus vector, or an adeno-associated virus vector (AAV).

[0474]The PEgRNAs described herein can be used in combination in a Prime Editing composition with one or more additional PEgRNAs that are designed to edit a different location in the same target gene or to edit a different gene. For example, the PEgRNAs described herein can be used in a multiplexed Prime Editing composition with one or more additional PEgRNAs that are designed to edit a gene encoding a T cell receptor subunit. Without being bound by theory, multiplexed disruption of MHC class I protein expression and T cell receptor expression in an engineered cell, e.g., immune cell, may reduce the allogenic reaction both of a host immune system and of the T cell receptor to host cells. Therefore, multiplexed disruption of B2M and T cell receptor gene(s), e.g., TRAC, may be used to generate engineered immune cells with reduced risk of graft versus host disease and graft rejection. [0475]In some embodiments, a prime editing system comprise a PEgRNA designed to edit a B2M gene or a nucleic acid encoding the PEgRNA as described herein. In some embodiments, the Prime Editing system further comprises a PEgRNA or a nucleic acid WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 196 encoding the PEgRNA that targets a TRAC locus. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA that targets the TRAC locus encodes one or more edits that, when integrated into the TRAC locus, reduces or eliminates expression of the TRAC gene. For example, in some embodiments, the PEgRNA targeting the TRAC locus encodes one or more in frame premature stop codons, nonsense mutations, missense mutations, and/or frameshift mutations that result in decreased or eliminated expression of the TRAC gene.

[0521]The donor sequence for integration into the TRAC gene can encode any desired sequence, e.g., a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), a T cell receptor (TCR), a B cell receptor, a NK cell receptor, a cytokine receptor, a chemokine receptor, a cytokine, a chemokine, a signaling protein, an antigen binding domain, an antibody, a kill switch, a reporter protein, a dominant negative mutant of a immune cell signaling protein, or a functional fragment or variant thereof. Without being bound by theory, compared to other strategies for donor integration, e.g., CAR integration, in immune cells such as semi-random integration via lentivirus or transposons, prime editing-and-recombinase-mediated integration in the TRAC gene as described herein is targeted to specific positions in the TRAC gene and reduces the risk of unintended disruption or activation of non-target genes. Without being bound by theory, compared to other targeted integration strategies such as nuclease and homology directed repair (HDR), prime editing-and-recombinase-mediated integration in the TRAC gene as described herein is unlikely to involve double strand breaks (DSBs) that are exposed to cellular repair mechanisms, and can result in improved integration efficiency and/or reduced risk associated with DSBs, e.g., genome rearrangements, chromothripsis, or unintended gene disruption or activation such as p53 activation. [0522]Recombination of the exogenous DNA sequence comprising an RRS at the prime edited TRAC gene comprising a corresponding RSS can result in integration of the donor sequence in the TRAC gene flanked by the recombination products of the RSS sequences.
WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 227 For example, in some embodiments, the TRAC PEgRNA pairs install an attB sequence in the TRAC gene, and the exogenous DNA sequence comprises a donor sequence and a corresponding attP sequence. After recombinase mediated recombination, the TRAC gene comprises the following insert sequence from 5’ to 3’: attL-donor sequence-attR. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA or PEgRNA pairs install an attP sequence in the TRAC gene, and the exogenous DNA sequence comprises a donor sequence and a corresponding attB sequence. After recombinase mediated recombination, the TRAC gene comprises the following insert sequence from 5’ to 3’: attR-donor sequence-attL. Accordingly, provided herein are edited cells that comprise in the TRAC gene an insert sequence, wherein the insert sequence comprises (i) 5’-attL-donor sequence-attR-3 ‘ or (ii) 5’-attR-donor sequence-attL-3 ‘. In some embodiments, the edited cells, e.g., T cells provide herein comprise in the TRAC gene an insert sequence, wherein the insert sequence comprises 5’-attL-donor sequence-attR- 3’. [0523]Position of the insert sequence depends on the TRAC PEgRNA spacers designed for integration of the attB (or attP) sequence encoded by the TRAC RTTs. In some embodiments, the insert sequence in the edited cell is between the first nick site according to the first TRAC PEgRNA and the second nick site according to the second TRAC PEgRNA of a dual prime editing TRAC PEgRNA pair (i.e. the region corresponding to the IND according to the TRAC PEgRNA pair). In some embodiments, the insert sequence is immediately downstream of the first nick site. In some embodiments, the insert sequence is immediately upstream of the first nick site. Nick site locations according to exemplary TRAC PEgRNA spacers provided herein in human chromosome 14 are provided in Table 40 below. Unless otherwise specified, chromosome locations and coding sequence positions (e.g. c.xxxx indicates position xxxx in the coding sequence of a certain gene) are as set forth in Genome Reference Consortium Human Build 38 (GrCH38). Accordingly, a cell, e.g., a T cell edited with the TRAC PEgRNA provided in Tables 34-38 and contacted with (i) a recombinase and (ii) a donor sequence linked to an attP sequence may comprise in the TRAC gene an insert sequence between the nick position of any 5’ TRAC spacer in Table 40 and the nick position of any 3’ TRAC spacer in Table 40, depending on the 5’ TRAC spacer and the 3’ TRAC spacer used in the first TRAC PEgRNA and the second TRAC PEgRNA, wherein the insert sequence comprises 5’-attL-donor sequence-attR-3 ‘. In some embodiments, the edited cell comprises the insert sequence between human chromosome 14 positions 22547458 and 22547533. In some embodiments, the edited cell comprises the insert sequence between WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 228 human chromosome 14 positions 22547458 and 22547522. In some embodiments, the edited cell comprises the insert sequence between human chromosome 14 positions 22547458 and 22547529. In some embodiments, the edited cell comprises the insert sequence between human chromosome 14 positions 22547449 and 22547533. In some embodiments, the edited cell comprises the insert sequence between human chromosome 14 positions 22547449 and 22547522.

WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 238 Methods of Editing [0543] The methods and compositions disclosed herein can be used to edit a target gene of interest by prime editing.[0544] In some embodiments, the prime editing method comprises contacting a target gene, e.g, a B2M gene, with a PEgRNA and a prime editor (PE) polypeptide described herein. In some embodiments, the target gene is double stranded, and comprises two strands of DNA complementary to each other. In some embodiments, the contacting with a PEgRNA and the contacting with a prime editor are performed sequentially. In some embodiments, the contacting with a prime editor is performed after the contacting with a PEgRNA. In some embodiments, the contacting with a PEgRNA is performed after the contacting with a prime editor. In some embodiments, the contacting with a PEgRNA, and the contacting with a prime editor are performed simultaneously. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA and the prime editor are associated in a complex prior to contacting a target gene.[0545] In some embodiments, contacting the target gene with the prime editing composition results in binding of the PEgRNA to a target strand of the target gene, e.g., a B2M gene. In some embodiments, contacting the target gene with the prime editing composition results in binding of the PEgRNA to a search target sequence on the target strand of the target gene upon contacting with the PEgRNA. In some embodiments, contacting the target gene with the prime editing composition results in binding of a spacer sequence of the PEgRNA to a search target sequence with the search target sequence on the target strand of the target gene upon said contacting of the PEgRNA.[0546] In some embodiments, contacting the target gene with the prime editing composition results in binding of the prime editor to the target gene, e.g., the target B2M gene, upon the contacting of the PE composition with the target gene. In some embodiments, the DNA binding domain of the PE associates with the PEgRNA. In some embodiments, the PE binds the target gene, e.g., a B2M gene, directed by the PEgRNA. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the contacting of the target gene result in binding of a DNA binding domain of a prime editor of the target B2M gene directed by the PEgRNA.[0547] In some embodiments, contacting the target gene with the prime editing composition results in a nick in an edit strand of the target gene, e.g., a B2M gene by the prime editor upon contacting with the target gene, thereby generating a nicked on the edit strand of the target gene. In some embodiments, contacting the target gene with the prime editing composition results in a single-stranded DNA comprising a free 3’ end at the nick site of the WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 239 edit strand of the target gene. In some embodiments, contacting the target gene with the prime editing composition results in a nick in the edit strand of the target gene by a DNA binding domain of the prime editor, thereby generating a single-stranded DNA comprising a free 3' end at the nick site. In some embodiments, the DNA binding domain of the prime editor is a Cas domain. In some embodiments, the DNA binding domain of the prime editor is a Cas9. In some embodiments, the DNA binding domain of the prime editor is a Casnickase. [0548]In some embodiments, contacting the target gene with the prime editing composition results in hybridization of the PEgRNA with the 3' end of the nicked single-stranded DNA, thereby priming DNA polymerization by a DNA polymerase domain of the prime editor. In some embodiments, the free 3' end of the single-stranded DNA generated at the nick site hybridizes to a primer binding site sequence (PBS) of the contacted PEgRNA, thereby priming DNA polymerization. In some embodiments, the DNA polymerization is reverse transcription catalyzed by a reverse transcriptase domain of the prime editor. In some embodiments, the method comprises contacting the target gene with a DNA polymerase, e.g., a reverse transcriptase, as a part of a prime editor fusion protein or prime editing complex (in cis), or as a separate protein (in trans). [0549]In some embodiments, contacting the target gene with the prime editing composition generates an edited single stranded DNA that is coded by the editing template of the PEgRNA by DNA polymerase mediated polymerization from the 3' free end of the single- stranded DNA at the nick site. In some embodiments, the editing template of the PEgRNA comprises one or more intended nucleotide edits compared to endogenous sequence of the target gene, e.g., a B2M gene. In some embodiments, the intended nucleotide edits are incorporated in the target gene, by excision of the 5’ single stranded DNA of the edit strand of the target gene generated at the nick site and DNA repair. In some embodiments, the intended nucleotide edits are incorporated in the target gene by excision of the editing target sequence and DNA repair. In some embodiments, excision of the 5’ single stranded DNA of the edit strand generated at the nick site is by a flap endonuclease. In some embodiments, the flap nuclease is FEN 1. In some embodiments, the method further comprises contacting the target gene with a flap endonuclease. In some embodiments, the flap endonuclease is provided as a part of a prime editor fusion protein. In some embodiments, the flap endonuclease is provided in trans.
WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 240 id="p-550"
[0550]In some embodiments, contacting the target gene with the prime editing composition generates a mismatched heteroduplex comprising the edit strand of the target gene that comprises the edited single stranded DNA, and the unedited target strand of the target gene. Without being bound by theory, the endogenous DNA repair and replication may resolve the mismatched edited DNA to incorporate the nucleotide change(s) to form the desired edited target gene (e.g., edited B2M gene). [0551]In some embodiments, the method further comprises contacting the target gene, e.g., a B2M gene, with a nick guide (ngRNA) disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the ngRNA comprises a spacer that binds a second search target sequence on the edit strand of the target gene. In some embodiments, the contacted ngRNA directs the PE to introduce a nick in the target strand of the target gene. In some embodiments, the nick on the target strand (non-edit strand) results in endogenous DNA repair machinery to use the edit strand to repair the non- edit strand, thereby incorporating the intended nucleotide edit in both strand of the target gene and modifying the target gene. In some embodiments, the ngRNA comprises a spacer sequence that is complementary to, and may hybridize with, the second search target sequence on the edit strand only after the intended nucleotide edit(s) are incorporated in the edit strand of the target gene. [0552]In some embodiments, the target gene is contacted by the ngRNA, the PEgRNA, and the PE simultaneously. In some embodiments, the ngRNA, the PEgRNA, and the PE form a complex when they contact the target gene. In some embodiments, the target gene is contacted with the ngRNA, the PEgRNA, and the prime editor sequentially. In some embodiments, the target gene is contacted with the ngRNA and/or the PEgRNA after contacting the target gene with the PE. In some embodiments, the target gene is contacted with the ngRNA and/or the PEgRNA before contacting the target gene with the prime editor. [0553]In some embodiments, the target gene, e.g., a B2M gene, is in a cell. Accordingly, also provided herein are methods of modifying or editing a cell, such as a human cell, a human primary cell, a human iPSC-derived cell, and/or a human T-cell or a precursor thereof, or a progenitor thereof. [0554]In some embodiments, the prime editing method comprises introducing a PEgRNA, a prime editor, and/or a ngRNA into the cell that has the target gene. In some embodiments, the prime editing method comprises introducing into the cell that has the target gene with a prime editing composition comprising a PEgRNA, a prime editor polypeptide, and/or a ngRNA. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA, the prime editor polypeptide, and/or the ngRNA form a WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 241 complex prior to the introduction into the cell. In some embodiments, the PEgRNA, the prime editor polypeptide, and/or the ngRNA form a complex after the introduction into the cell. The prime editors, PEgRNA and/or ngRNAs, and prime editing complexes may be introduced into the cell by any delivery approaches described herein or any delivery approach known in the art, including ribonucleoprotein (RNPs), lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), viral vectors, non-viral vectors, mRNA delivery, and physical techniques such as cell membrane disruption by a microfluidics device. The prime editors, PEgRNA and/or ngRNAs, and prime editing complexes may be introduced into the cell simultaneously or sequentially. [0555]In some embodiments, the prime editing method comprises introducing into the cell a PEgRNA or a polynucleotide encoding the PEgRNA, a prime editor polynucleotide encoding a prime editor polypeptide, and optionally an ngRNA or a polynucleotide encoding the ngRNA. In some embodiments, the method comprises introducing the PEgRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the PEgRNA, the polynucleotide encoding the prime editor polypeptide, and/or the ngRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the ngRNA into the cell simultaneously. In some embodiments, the method comprises introducing the PEgRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the PEgRNA, the polynucleotide encoding the prime editor polypeptide, and/or the ngRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the ngRNA into the cell sequentially. In some embodiments, the method comprises introducing the polynucleotide encoding the prime editor polypeptide into the cell before introduction of the PEgRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the PEgRNA and/or the ngRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the ngRNA. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encoding the prime editor polypeptide is introduced into and expressed in the cell before introduction of the PEgRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the PEgRNA and/or the ngRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the ngRNA into the cell. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encoding the prime editor polypeptide is introduced into the cell after the PEgRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the PEgRNA and/or the ngRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the ngRNA are introduced into the cell. The polynucleotide encoding the prime editor polypeptide, the PEgRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the PEgRNA, and/or the ngRNA or the polynucleotide encoding the ngRNA, may be introduced into the cell by any delivery approaches described herein or any delivery approach known in the art, for example, by RNPs, LNPs, viral vectors, non-viral vectors, mRNA delivery, and physical delivery. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide is a DNA polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide is a RNA polynucleotide, e.g., mRNA polynucleotide.

The terms "artificial T- cell receptor," "chimeric T-cell receptor," and "chimeric immunoreceptor" may each be used interchangeably herein with the term "chimeric antigen receptor." [0671]The modification of T cells to express a CAR, and precise editing of a B2M gene is accomplished by using a prime editing systems and methods disclosed herein. Prime editing of B2M gene in combination with a CAR insertion is a usefill strategy to generate edited cells for cell therapy (e.g., autologous T cells or allogenic T cells). In some embodiments, the exogenous transgene e.g., a CAR can be introduced into the cell, for example, by using a plasmid, a minicircle vector, a linearized double stranded DNA construct, or a viral vector. For example, applicable methods for delivery the nucleic acid molecule encoding the chimeric antigen receptor (and the nucleic acid(s) encoding the base editor) can be found in WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 279 International Application No. PCT/US2009/040040 and US Patent Nos.8,450,1 12;, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. Additionally, those methods and vectors described herein for delivering the nucleic acid encoding the prime editing systems are applicable to deli vering the nucleic acid encoding the chimeric antigen receptor. [0672]In some embodiments, about or at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% of a population of cells transduced with a polynucleotide encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) of the present disclosure (e.g., those listed above) surface-express the CAR. In one aspect, provided herein are edited cells comprising a chimeric antigen and an edited B2M gene. In some embodiments, the edited B2M gene is generated by prime editing. In some embodiments, provided herein is a CAR-T cell with prime edits in B2M gene, such that the CAR-1' cell has reduced or negligible or no expression of endogenous B2M protein. [0673]In some embodiments, the edited cells of the disclosure comprise a transgene encoding a CAR, and one or more intended nucleotide edits in a B2M gene. In some embodiments, the edited cells of the disclosure express a CAR and comprise one or more intended nucleotide edits in a B2M gene. In some embodiments, the edited cell of the disclosure induces an immune response against a target antigen upon administration to a subject. The edited cells of the disclosure (e.g., comprising a transgene that encodes a CAR, or expression a CAR) may be specifically directed towards a target antigen, e.g., to target antigen that may be presented by a cell in a host. In some embodiments, the immune response encompasses cytotoxicity. In some embodiments, the edited cell of the disclosure exhibit enhanced cytotoxic response against a target antigen as compared to a suitable control cell. In some embodiments, the edited cell exhibits an enhanced cytotoxic response by at least 1.1- fold, 1.5-fold, 2- fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 6-fold, 7-fold, 8-fold, 9-fold, 10-fold, 11-fold, 12-fold, 13-fold, 14-fold, 15-fold, 16-fold, 17-fold, 18-fold, 19-fold, 20-fold or more compared to a suitable control cell. In some embodiments, the edited cell can kill at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 100%, at least 200%, at least 500% or at least 1000% more target cells that express a target antigen than a suitable control cell. In some embodiments, the edited cell can induce higher memory response. In some embodiments, the edited cell can induce lower levels of inflammatory cytokines than a suitable control cell, that is, the edited cell does not cause a cytokine storm response. In some embodiments, the edited cell is administered to an allogenic subject, wherein the edited cell has no rejection by the subject.
WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 280 In some embodiments, the edited cell e.g., an allogenic edited cell induces negligible or minimum rejection by the subject. In some embodiments, the edited cell has fratricide resistance. [0674]A chimeric antigen receptor typically comprises at least an extracellular ligand- binding domain or moiety and an intracellular domain that comprises one or more signaling domains and/or co-stimulatory domains. In some embodiments, the extracellular ligand- binding domain or moiety is in the form of a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) derived from a monoclonal antibody, which provides specificity for a particular epitope or antigen (e.g., an epitope or antigen preferentially present on the surface of a cell, such as a cancer cell or other disease-causing cell or particle). In some embodiments, the scFv is attached via a linker sequence. In various embodiments, the extracellular ligand-binding domain is specific for any antigen or epitope of interest. In some embodiments, the scFv is murine, humanized, or fully human. [0675]The extracellular domain of a chimeric antigen receptor can also comprise an autoantigen (see, Payne et al. (2016), Science 353 (6295): 179-184), that can be recognized by autoantigen-specific B cell receptors on B lymphocytes, thus directing the cell (e.g., a T cell to specifically target and kill autoreactive B lymphocytes in antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. Such CARs can be referred to as chimeric autoantibody receptors (CAARs), and their use is encompassed by the disclosure. [0676]The extracellular domain of a chimeric antigen receptor can also comprise a naturally- occurring ligand for an antigen of interest, or a fragment of a naturally-occurring ligand which retains the ability to bind the antigen of interest. [0677]The intracellular stimulatory domain can include one or more cytoplasmic signaling domains that transmit an activation signal to the immune effector cell following antigen binding. Such cytoplasmic signaling domains can include, without limitation, CD3. The intracellular stimulatory domain can also include one or more intracellular co-stimulatory domains that transmit a proliferative and/or cell-survival signal after ligand binding. As used herein, a "co-stimulatory domain" refers to a polypeptide domain which transmits an intracellular proliferative and/or cell-survival signal upon activation. Activation of a co- stimulatory domain may occur following homodimerization of two co-stimulatory domain polypeptides. Activation may also occur, for example, following activation of a construct comprising the co-stimulatory domain (e.g., a chimeric antigen receptor or an inducible regulatory construct). Generally, a co-stimulatory domain can be derived from a WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 281 transmembrane co-stimulatory receptor, particularly from an intracellular portion of a co- stimulatory receptor. Such intracellular co-stimulatory domains can be any of those known in the art and can include, without limitation, CD27, CD28, CDS, 4-1BB (CD137), 0X40, CD30, CD40, PD-1, ICOS, lymphocyte function-associated antigen- 1 (LFA-1), CD2, CD7, LIGHT, NKG2C, B7-H3 and a ligand that specifically binds with CD83, Ni, N6, or any combination thereof. Exemplary T cell signaling domains are known in the art. Non-limiting examples include the CD3, CDS, CD28, CD27, CD154, GITR (TNFRSF18), CD134 (OX40), and CD 137 (4-IBB) signaling domains. In some embodiments, the intracellular signaling domain of the chimeric antigen receptor comprises a primary signaling domain. In some embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptor comprises the primary signaling domain and a secondary, or co-stimulatory, signaling domain. In some embodiments, the primary signaling domain comprises one or more immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs, or ITAMs. In some embodiments, the primary signaling domain comprises more than one IT AM. ITAMs incorporated into the chimeric antigen receptor may be derived from ITAMs from other cellular receptors. In some embodiments, the primary signaling domain comprising an IT AM may be derived from subunits of the TCR complex, such as CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD3 epsilon, or CD3 zeta . In some embodiments, the primary signaling domain comprising an ITAM may be derived from FcR y, FcR beta , CDS, CD22, CD79a, CD79b, or CD66d. [0678]A chimeric antigen receptor can further include additional structural elements, including a transmembrane domain that is attached to the extracellular ligand-binding domain via a hinge or spacer sequence. The transmembrane domain of the chimeric antigen receptors described herein spans the CAR-T cell ’s lipid bilayer cellular membrane and separates the extracellular binding domain and the intracellular signaling domain. In some embodiments, the transmembrane domain may be derived from a non- human transmembrane domain and, in some embodiments, humanized. By "humanized " is meant having the sequence of the nucleic acid encoding the transmembrane domain optimized such that it is more reliably or efficiently expressed in a human subject. [0679]The transmembrane domain can be derived from any membrane-bound or transmembrane protein. For example, the transmembrane polypeptide can be a subunit of the T-cell receptor e.g., polypeptide constituting CD3 complex), IL2 receptor p55 (a chain), p(0 chain) or 7 chain, subunit chain of Fc receptors (e.g., Fey receptor III) or CD proteins such as the CD8 alpha chain. Additional examples of such proteins include, but are not limited to, subunits of the T cell receptor (TCR) complex, PD1, or any of the Cluster of Differentiation WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 282 proteins, or other proteins, that are expressed in the immune effector cell and that have a transmembrane domain. Transmembrane domains for use in the disclosed CARs can include at least the transmembrane region(s) of) the alpha, beta or zeta chain of the T-cell receptor, CD28, CD3 epsilon, CD45, CD4, CDS, CDS, CD9, CD16, CD22, CD33, CD37, CD64, CD80, CD86, CD134, CD137, CD154. In some embodiments, the transmembrane domain is derived from CD4, CDS , CD28 and CD3. Alternatively the transmembrane domain can be synthetic and can comprise predominantly hydrophobic residues such as leucine and valine. The chimeric antigen receptor is designed, in some embodiments, to comprise a spacer between the transmembrane domain and the extracellular domain, the intracellular domain, or both. Such spacers can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or amino acids in length. In some embodiments, the spacer can be 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 amino acids in length. In still other embodiments the spacer can be between 100 and 500 amino acids in length. The spacer can be any polypeptide that links one domain to another and are used to position such linked domains to enhance or optimize chimeric antigen receptor function. [0680]The hinge region refers to any oligo- or polypeptide that functions to link the transmembrane domain to the extracellular ligand-binding domain. For example, a hinge region may comprise up to 300 amino acids, preferably 10 to 100 amino acids and most preferably 25 to 50 amino acids. Hinge regions may be derived from all or part of naturally occurring molecules, such as from all or part of the extracellular region of CD8, CD4 or CD28, or from all or part of an antibody constant region. Alternatively, the hinge region may be a synthetic sequence that corresponds to a naturally occurring hinge sequence, or may be an entirely synthetic hinge sequence. In particular examples, a hinge domain can comprise a part of a human CD8 alpha chain, FcyRIIIa receptor or IgGl. [0681]In some embodiments, the CAR has specificity for a target antigen that is a disease associated antigen. In some embodiments, the CAR specifically binds a target antigen or a neoantigen expressed by a cancer cell (e.g., expressed or presented on the surface of a cancer cell). In some embodiments, the target antigen or a neoantigen is from an oncogene or tumor suppressor gene (e.g., a mutated tumor suppressor gene). In some embodiments, the target antigen comprises a T cell epitope. In some embodiments, the target antigen recognized and bound by the extracellular domain is a protein or peptide, a nucleic acid, a lipid, or a polysaccharide. Target antigens can be heterologous, such as those expressed in a pathogenic bacteria or virus. Target antigens can also be synthetic; for example, some individuals have WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 283 extreme allergies to synthetic latex and exposure to this antigen can result in an extreme immune reaction. In some embodiments, the target antigen is autologous, and is expressed on a diseased or otherwise altered cell. For example, in some embodiments, the target antigen is expressed in a neoplastic cell. In some embodiments, the neoplastic cell is a malignant T- or NK-cell. In some embodiments, the malignant T- or NK-cell is a malignant precursor T- or NK-cell. In some embodiments, the malignant T- or NK-cell is a malignant mature T- or NK- cell. Nonlimiting examples of neoplasia include T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T- ALL), mycosis fungoides (MF), Sezary syndrome (SS), Peripheral T/NK cell lymphoma, Anaplastic large cell lymphoma ALK+, Primary cutaneous T cell lymphoma, T cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia, Angioimmunoblastic T/NK cell lymphoma, Hepatosplenic T cell lymphoma, Primary cutaneous CD30 + lymphoproliferative disorders, Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, Adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma, T cell prolymphocytic leukemia, Subcutaneous panniculitis like T- cell lymphoma, Primary cutaneous gamma delta T-cell lymphoma, Aggressive NK cell leukemia, and Enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma. [0682]In some embodiments, the cancer is a solid tumor, hematological cancer, or soft tissue cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer cell is selected from the group consisting of bladder cancer, epithelial cancer, bone cancer, brain cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, leukemia, liver cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, myeloma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, sarcoma, stomach cancer, thyroid cancer, acute lymphocytic cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, anal canal, rectal cancer, ocular cancer, cancer of the neck, gallbladder cancer, pleural cancer, oral cancer, cancer of the vulva, colon cancer, cervical cancer, fibrosarcoma, gastrointestinal carcinoid tumor, Hodgkin lymphoma, kidney cancer, mesothelioma, mastocytoma, melanoma, multiple myeloma, myeloma, nasopharynx cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, peritoneal cancer, renal cancer, skin cancer, small intestine cancer, stomach cancer, testicular cancer, and thyroid cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer cell is selected from the group consisting of gastrointestinal cancer, breast cancer, lymphoma, and prostate cancer. [0683]In some embodiments, the exogenous TCR or CAR specifically binds to a target antigen expressed by a pathogen e.g., a bacterium, virus, fungus, yeast, parasite (e.g., single- celled or multicellular eukaryotic parasite), or other microorganism. [0684]In some embodiments, the exogenous TCR or CAR specifically binds to a target antigen associated with a disease (e.g., an inflammatory or autoimmune disease). In some embodiments, the antigen comprises a T cell epitope.

Non-limiting examples of a reference cell is a T cell not expressing a CAR or a T cell expressing a reference CAR.Delivery [0685]Prime editing compositions described herein can be delivered to a cellular environment with any approach known in the art. Components of a prime editing composition can be delivered to a cell by the same mode or different modes. For example, in some embodiments, a prime editor can be delivered as a polypeptide or a polynucleotide (DNA or RNA) encoding the polypeptide. In some embodiments, a PEgRNA can be delivered directly as an RNA or as a DNA encoding the PEgRNA. [0686]In some embodiments, a prime editing composition component is encoded by a polynucleotide, a vector, or a construct. In some embodiments, a prime editor polypeptide, a PEgRNA and/or a ngRNA is encoded by a polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encodes a prime editor fusion protein comprising a DNA binding domain and a DNA polymerase domain. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encodes a DNA polymerase domain of a prime editor. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encodes a DNA polymerase domain of a prime editor. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encodes a portion of a prime editor protein, for example, a N-terminal portion of a prime editor fusion protein connected to an intein-N. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encodes a portion of a prime editor protein, for example, a C-terminal portion of a prime editor fusion protein connected to an intein-C. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 286 encodes a PEgRNA and/or a ngRNA. In some embodiments, the polypeptide encodes two or more components of a prime editing composition, for example, a prime editor fusion protein and a PEgRNA. [0687]In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encoding one or more prime editing composition components is delivered to a target cell is integrated into the genome of the cell for long-term expression, for example, by a retroviral vector. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide delivered to a target cell is expressed transiently. For example, the polynucleotide may be delivered in the form of a mRNA, or a non-integrating vector (non- integrating virus, plasmids, minicircle DNAs) for episomal expression. [0688]In some embodiments, a polynucleotide encoding one or more prime editing system components can be operably linked to a regulatory element, e.g., a transcriptional control element, such as a promoter. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide is operably linked to multiple control elements. Depending on the expression system utilized, any of a number of suitable transcription and translation control elements, including constitutive and inducible promoters, transcription enhancer elements, transcription terminators, etc. may be used in the expression vector (e.g., U6 promoter, Hl promoter). [0689]In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encoding one or more prime editing composition components is a part of, or is encoded by, a vector. In some embodiments, the vector is a viral vector. In some embodiments, the vector is a non-viral vector. [0690]Non-viral vector delivery systems can include DNA plasmids, RNA (e.g., a transcript of a vector described herein), naked nucleic acid, and nucleic acid complexed with a delivery vehicle, such as a liposome. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide is provided as an RNA, e.g., a mRNA or a transcript. Any RNA of the prime editing systems, for example a guide RNA or a base editor-encoding mRNA, can be delivered in the form of RNA. In some embodiments, one or more components of the prime editing system that are RNAs is produced by direct chemical synthesis or may be transcribed in vitro from a DNA. In some embodiments, a mRNA that encodes a prime editor polypeptide is generated using in vitro transcription. Guide polynucleotides (e.g., PEgRNA or ngRNA) can also be transcribed using in vitro transcription from a cassette containing a T7 promoter, followed by the sequence "GG", and guide polynucleotide sequence. In some embodiments, the prime editor encoding mRNA, PEgRNA, and/or ngRNA are synthesized in vitro using an RNA polymerase enzyme (e.g., T7 polymerase, T3 polymerase, SP6 polymerase, etc.). Once synthesized, the RNA can directly contact a target B2M gene or can be introduced into a cell using any suitable WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 287 technique for introducing nucleic acids into cells (e.g, microinjection, electroporation, transfection). In some embodiments, the prime editor-coding sequences, the PEgRNAs, and/or the ngRNAs are modified to include one or more modified nucleoside e.g., using pseudo-U or 5-Methyl-C. [0691]Methods of non-viral delivery of nucleic acids can include lipofection, electroporation, nucleofection, microinjection, biolistics, virosomes, liposomes, immunoliposomes, polycation or lipid:nucleic acid conjugates, nanoparticles, cell penetrating peptides and associated conjugated molecules and chemistry, naked DNA, artificial virions, cell membrane disruption by a microfluidics device, and agent-enhanced uptake of DNA. Cationic and neutral lipids that are suitable for efficient receptor-recognition lipofection of polynucleotides can be used. Delivery can be to cells (e.g., in vitro or ex vivo administration) or target tissues (e.g., in vivo administration). The preparation of lipid:nucleic acid complexes, including targeted liposomes such as immunolipid complexes, can be used. [0692]Viral vector delivery systems can include DNA and RNA viruses, which can have either episomal or integrated genomes after delivery to the cell. RNA or DNA viral based systems can be used to target specific cells and trafficking the viral payload to an organelle of the cell. Viral vectors can be administered directly (in vivo) or they can be used to treat cells in vitro, and the modified cells can optionally be administered after delivery (ex vivo). [0693]In some embodiments, the viral vector is a retroviral, lentiviral, adenoviral, adeno- associated viral or herpes simplex viral vector. Retroviral vectors can include those based upon murine leukemia virus (MuLV), gibbon ape leukemia virus (GaLV), simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the retroviral vector is a lentiviral vector. In some embodiments, the retroviral vector is a gamma retroviral vector. In some embodiments, the viral vector is an adenoviral vector. In some embodiments, the viral vector is an adeno- associated virus ("AAV") vector. [0694]In some embodiments, polynucleotides encoding one or more prime editing composition components are packaged in a virus particle. Packaging cells can be used to form virus particles that can infect a target cell. Such cells can include 293 cells, (e.g., for packaging adenovirus), and y2 cells or PA317 cells (e.g., for packaging retrovirus). Viral vectors can be generated by producing a cell line that packages a nucleic acid vector into a viral particle. The vectors can contain the minimal viral sequences required for packaging and subsequent integration into a host. The vectors can contain other viral sequences being WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 288 replaced by an expression cassette for the polynucleotide(s) to be expressed. The missing viral functions can be supplied in trans by the packaging cell line. For example, AAV vectors can comprise ITR sequences from the AAV genome which are required for packaging and integration into the host genome. In some embodiment, the polynucleotides are a DNA polynucleotide. In some embodiment, the polynucleotides are an RNA polynucleotide; e.g., an mRNA polynucleotide. [0695]In some embodiments, the AAV vector is selected for tropism to a particular cell, tissue, organism. In some embodiments, the AAV vector is pseudotyped, e.g., AAV5/8. In some embodiments, polynucleotides encoding one or more prime editing composition components are packaged in a first AAV and a second AAV. In some embodiments, the polynucleotides encoding one or more prime editing composition components are packaged in a first rAAV and a second rAAV. [0696]In some embodiments, dual AAV vectors are generated by splitting a large transgene expression cassette in two separate halves (5' and 3' ends that encode N-terminal portion and C-terminal portion of, e.g., a prime editor polypeptide), where each half of the cassette is no more than 5kb in length, optionally no more than 4.7 kb in length, and is packaged in a single AAV vector. In some embodiments, the full-length transgene expression cassette is reassembled upon co-infection of the same cell by both dual AAV vectors. In some embodiments, a portion or fragment of a prime editor polypeptide, e.g., a Cas9 nickase, is fused to an intein. The portion or fragment of the polypeptide can be fused to the N-terminus or the C-terminus of the intein. In some embodiments, a N-terminal portion of the polypeptide is fused to an intein-N, and a C-terminal portion of the polypeptide is separately fused to an intein-C. In some embodiments, a portion or fragment of a prime editor fusion protein is fused to an intein and fused to an AAV capsid protein. In some embodiments, intein-N may be fused to the N-terminal portion of a first domain described herein, and intein-C may be fused to the C-terminal portion of a second domain described herein for the joining of the N-terminal portion to the C-terminal portion, thereby joining the first and second domains. In some embodiments, the first and second domains are each independently chosen from a DNA binding domain or a DNA polymerase domain. The intein, nuclease and capsid protein can be fused together in any arrangement (e.g., nuclease-intein-capsid, intein- nuclease-capsid, capsid-intein-nuclease, etc.). In some embodiments, a polynucleotide encoding a prime editor fusion protein is split in two separate halves, each encoding a portion of the prime editor fusion protein and separately fused to an intein. In some embodiments, WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 289 each of the two halves of the polynucleotide is packaged in an individual AAV vector of a dual AAV vector system. In some embodiments, each of the two halves of the polynucleotide is no more than 5kb in length, optionally no more than 4.7 kb in length. In some embodiments, the full-length prime editor fusion protein is reassembled upon co-infection of the same cell by both dual AAV vectors, expression of both halves of the prime editor fusion protein, and self-excision of the inteins. In some embodiments, the in vivo use of dual AAV vectors results in the expression of full-length full-length prime editor fusion proteins. In some embodiments, the use of the dual AAV vector platform allows viable delivery of transgenes of greater than about 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, or 5.0 kb in size. [0697]In some embodiments, an intein is inserted at a splice site within a Cas protein. In some embodiments, insertion of an intein disrupts a Cas activity. As used herein, "intein" refers to a self-splicing protein intron (e.g., peptide), e.g., which ligates flanking N-terminal and C-terminal exteins (e.g., fragments to be joined). In some embodiments, an intein may comprise a polypeptide that is able to excise itself and join exteins with a peptide bond (e.g., protein splicing). In some embodiments, an intein of a precursor gene comes from two genes (e.g., split intein). In some embodiments, an intein may be a synthetic intein. Non-limiting examples of intein pairs that may be used in accordance with the present disclosure include: dnaE-n and dnaE-c. a 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-HT)-responsive intein, an iCas molecule, a Ssp DnaX intein, Ter DnaE3 intein, Ter ThyX intein, Rma DnaB intein, Cfa DnaE intein, Ssp GyrB intein, and Rma DnaB intein. In some embodiments, intein fragments may be fused to the N terminal and C-terminal portion of a split Cas protein respectively for joining the fragments of split Cas9. [0698]In some embodiments, the split Cas9 system may be used in general to bypass the packing limit of the viral delivery vehicles. In some embodiments, a split Cas9 may be a Type II CRISPR system Cas9. In some embodiments, a first nucleic acid encodes a first portion of the Cas9 protein having a first split-intein and wherein the second nucleic acid encodes a second portion of the Cas9 protein having a second split-intein complementary to the first split-intein and wherein the first portion of the Cas9 protein and the second portion of the Cas9 protein are joined together to form the Cas9 protein. In some embodiments, the first portion of the Cas9 protein is the N-terminal fragment of the Cas9 protein and the second portion of the Cas9 protein is the C-terminal fragment of the Cas9 protein. In some embodiments, a split site may be selected which are surface exposed due to the sterical need for protein splicing.

[0699]In some embodiments, a Cas protein may be split into two fragments at any C, T, A, or S. In some embodiments, a Cas9 may be intein split at residues 203-204, 280-292, 292- 364, 311-325, 417-438, 445-483, 468-469, 481-502, 513-520, 522-530, 565-637, 696-707, 713-714, 795-804, 803-810, 878-887, and 1153-1154. In some embodiments, protein is divided into two fragments at SpCas9 T310, T313, A456, S469, or C574. In some embodiments, split Cas9 fragments across different split pairs yield combinations that provided the complete polypeptide sequence activate gene expression even when fragments are partially redundant. In some embodiments, a functional Cas9 protein may be reconstituted from two inactive split-Cas9 peptides in the presence of gRNA by using a split-intein protein splicing strategy. In some embodiment, the split Cas9 fragments are fused to either a N- terminal intein fragment or a C-terminal intein fragment, which can associate with each other and catalytically splice the two split Cas9 fragments into a functional reconstituted Casprotein. In some embodiments, a split-Cas9 can be packaged into self-complementary AAV. In some embodiments, a split-Cas9 comprises a 2.5 kb and a 2.2 kb fragment of S. pyogenes Cas9 coding sequences. [0700]In some embodiments, a split-Cas9 architecture reduces the length and/or size of the coding sequences of a viral vector, e.g., AAV. [0701]A target cell can be transiently or non-transiently transfected with one or more vectors described herein. A cell can be transfected as it naturally occurs in a subject. A cell can be taken or derived from a subject and transfected. A cell can be derived from cells taken from a subject, such as a cell line. In some embodiments, a cell transfected with one or more vectors described herein can be used to establish a new cell line comprising one or more vector- derived sequences. In some embodiments, a cell transiently transfected with the compositions of the disclosure (such as by transient transfection of one or more vectors, or transfection with RNA), and modified through the activity of a prime editor, can be used to establish a new cell line comprising cells containing the modification but lacking any other exogenous sequence. Any suitable vector compatible with the host cell can be used with the methods of the disclosure. Non-limiting examples of vectors include pXTl, pSG5, pSVK3, pBPV, pMSG, andpSVLSV40. [0702]In some embodiments, a prime editor protein can be provided to cells as a polypeptide. In some embodiments, the prime editor protein is fused to a polypeptide domain that increases solubility of the protein. In some embodiments, the prime editor protein is formulated to improve solubility of the protein.

[0703]In some embodiment, a prime editor polypeptide is fused to a polypeptide permeant domain to promote uptake by the cell. In some embodiments, the permeant domain is a including peptide, a peptidomimetic, or a non-peptide carrier. For example, a permeant peptide may be derived from the third alpha helix of Drosophila melanogaster transcription factor Antennapaedia, referred to as penetratin, which comprises the amino acid sequence RQIKIWFQNRRMKWKK (SEQ ID NO: 790). As another example, the permeant peptide can comprise the HIV-1 tat basic region amino acid sequence, which may include, for example, amino acids 49-57 of naturally-occurring tat protein. Other permeant domains can include poly-arginine motifs, for example, the region of amino acids 34-56 of HIV-1 rev protein, nona-arginine, and octa-arginine. The nona-arginine (R9) sequence can be used. The site at which the fusion can be made may be selected in order to optimize the biological activity, secretion or binding characteristics of the polypeptide. [0704]In some embodiments, a prime editor polypeptide is produced in vitro or by host cells, and it may be further processed by unfolding, e.g, heat denaturation, DTT reduction, etc. and may be further refolded. In some embodiments, a prime editor polypeptide is prepared by in vitro synthesis. Various commercial synthetic apparatuses can be used. By using synthesizers, naturally occurring amino acids can be substituted with unnatural amino acids. In some embodiments, a prime editor polypeptide is isolated and purified in accordance with recombinant synthesis methods, for example, by expression in a host cell and the lysate purified using HPLC, exclusion chromatography, gel electrophoresis, affinity chromatography, or other purification technique. [0705]In some embodiments, a prime editing composition, for example, prime editor polypeptide components and PEgRNA/ngRNA are introduced to a target cell by nanoparticles. In some embodiments, the prime editor polypeptide components and the PEgRNA and/or ngRNA form a complex in the nanoparticle. Any suitable nanoparticle design can be used to deliver genome editing system components or nucleic acids encoding such components. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle is inorganic. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle is organic. In some embodiments, a prime editing composition is delivered to a target cell, e.g., a hepatocyte, in an organic nanoparticle, e.g., a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) or polymer nanoparticle. [0706]In some embodiments, LNPs are formulated from cationic, anionic, neutral lipids, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, neutral lipids, such as the fusogenic phospholipid DOPE or the membrane component cholesterol, are included to enhance WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 292 transfection activity and nanoparticle stability. In some embodiments, LNPs are formulated with hydrophobic lipids, hydrophilic lipids, or combinations thereof. Lipids may be formulated in a wide range of molar ratios to produce an LNP. Any lipid or combination of lipids that are known in the art can be used to produce an LNP. Exemplary lipids used to produce LNPs are provided in Table 29 below. [0707]In some embodiments, components of a prime editing composition form a complex prior to delivery to a target cell. For example, a prime editor fusion protein, a PEgRNA, and/or a ngRNA can form a complex prior to delivery to the target cell. In some embodiments, a prime editing polypeptide (e.g., a prime editor fusion protein) and a guide polynucleotide (e.g, a PEgRNA or ngRNA) form a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) for delivery to a target cell. In some embodiments, the RNP comprises a prime editor fusion protein in complex with a PEgRNA. RNPs may be delivered to cells using known methods, such as electroporation, nucleofection, or cationic lipid-mediated methods, or any other approaches known in the art. In some embodiments, delivery of a prime editing composition or complex to the target cell does not require the delivery of foreign DNA into the cell. In some embodiments, the RNP comprising the prime editing complex is degraded over time in the target cell.

Example 1: PEgRNA screen for editing the B2M gene [0975]187 PEgRNAs with different spacer, PBS, and RTT combinations were designed to introduce two consecutive stop codons in the B2M gene coding sequence to disrupt B2M expression. The PEgRNAs were screened with the following experimental protocol modified based on a pooled screening protocol format using lentivirus libraries (Kim, H.K., Yu, G., Park, J. et al. Predicting the efficiency of prime editing guide RNAs in human cells. Nat Biotechnol (2020)). [0976]Specifically, lentiviral vectors were designed and constructed such that each lentiviral vector contains a sequence that encodes a single PEgRNA and a corresponding target sequence. The lentiviral vectors were used to transduce HEK293T cells at a low MOI to allow for ~1 virus integrant per infected cell. The cells were grown under antibiotic selection to enrich for cells containing the editing construct. After selection, the enriched cells were transfected with a plasmid encoding a prime editor fusion protein. 3 days after transfection, WO 2024/238825 PCT/US2024/029746 416 genomic DNA was harvested, and the target sequences were amplified and sequenced to examine editing efficiency. [0977]Accordingly, the oligo nucleotide library contains oligo nucleotides each has the following structure, in a 5' to 3' order: homology to a U6 promoter, a PEgRNA spacer sequence, either a partial scaffold fragment with internal BsmBI site or a full scaffold sequence (depending on the library design), a 7-nt polyT terminator, a 12-nt barcode 1, the DNA target site, a 12-nt barcode 2, and a 3' primer binding site. By having the target site flanked by two barcodes, matched at the stage of synthesis, crossover of PCR during amplification from gDNA were identified and removed from sequence analysis.
The oligo library was amplified using the following primers:Forward primer:CGATTTCTTGGCTTTATATATCTTGTGGAAAGGACGAAACACCReverse primer:TTATTACAGGGACAGCAGAGATCCAGTTTATCGATNNNNNNATCGCGGTACGCC AAGCT id="p-978"
[0978]Gibson assembly: Lentiviral vectors were constructed using Gibson assembly method as described below. An acceptor vector was digested with Esp3I or BsmBI. The linearized product was purified and used for Gibson assembly with a 1:1 -1:7 molar ratio to the oligo library. Electrocompetent NEB stable cells were transformed. The next day, the bacteria cells were harvested, and DNA was extracted with Qiagen plasmid plus midiprep using manufacturer ’s standard protocol. Clones were sequenced with next generation sequencing to ensure that the library as designed is represented in the clones. id="p-979"
[0979]Make lentivirus: Lentivirus was prepared with a 3-plasmid system: On day 0, HEK293T cells were plated in a T150 flask. On day 1, 18 ug of lenti transfer vector, 18 ug of psPAX2, 12 ug of pMD2.g, and opti-mem up to 1250 uL were mixed. A separate solution containing lipofectamine 2000 was freshly prepared. Then, the two solutions were mixed and incubated. After 48 hours of incubation (day 3), the supernatant media was collected. 5x peg solution was added to the lentivirus solution to a final concentration of lx, the solution was mixed well, and the mixture was left at 4 °C overnight. The next day, the precipitated lentivirus) was pelleted and resuspended and stored at -80 °C.

[0980]Full scale tissue culture transduction, transfection׳ . Cells were plated in a T150 flask on day -1. On day 0, infect cells were predetermined with virus concentration condition to achieve -30% survival after antibiotic selection. The cells were transfected on day 6. On days 8-13, cells were harvested and genomic DNA was extracted for NGS prep. Forward and reverse primers as provided below are used to determine the optimal gDNA concentration to use per PCR reaction. Unique barcoding primers were used to uniquely identify editing at each target sequence. Sequencing results were analyzed, after removing reads that 1) do not contain barcodes or 2) contain crossover events (i.e. mismatch between the barcodes and the spacer sequences), with CRISPRESSO as described in Clement, K. et al., Nat. Biotechnol. 37, 224—226 (2019).

frameshift mutation in the coding sequence of B2M and result in a premature stop codon and disrupt B2M expression. Two ngRNAs were also designed to test the efficiency of PE3b (both ngRNA spacers having perfect complementarity with the PAM strand after the nucleotide edit is incorporated) editing strategy. [0984]The PEgRNAs and ngRNAs were chemically synthesized. The PEgRNAs and ngRNAs each contained a 3’ UUUU end adaptation as indicated in the sequences, and further contained chemical modifications 3’ mN*mN*mN*N and 5’mN*mN*mN*N modifications, where m indicates that the nucleotide contains a 2’-O-Me modification and a * indicates a phosphorothioate bond. [0985]HEK293T cells were transfected with the PEgRNA (and ngRNA where applicable) and polynucleotide encoding a prime editor fusion protein. 72 hours after transfection, genomic DNA was extracted by aspirating media, adding QuickExtract DNA Extraction solution (Lucigen, #QR9050) and incubating according to manufacturer ’s protocol for high- throughput sequencing. [0986]The following primers were used: Table 44 PPrimer nameSequence BB2M ForwardACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCTNNNNTGGGCA CGCGTTTAATATAAG BB2M ReverseTGGAGTTCAGACGTGTGCTCTTCCGATCTAGATCCAGCCCTGG ACTAGC id="p-987"
[0987]Sequence numbers of the PEgRNAs, ngRNAs and corresponding components, as well as editing efficiency and indel frequency are summarized in Tables 45 (PE2 editing strategy) and 46 (PE3 editing strategy with ngRNAs). The number of contiguous nucleotides in the editing template that are 1) complementary to the editing target sequence in the B2M gene and 2) upstream of the position of the 5’ most nucleotide of the edit encoded in the editing template (referred to in Table 45 as Homology arm length) is also provided.

Spacers having the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 269, or SEQ ID NO: 3T1 were used for the PEgRNAs. The PEgRNAs each encode an edit that insert two consecutive stop codons or introduces a frameshift mutation that results in a premature stop codon in the B2M gene. Edits encoded by the PEgRNAs are provided in Tables 1-21 and also in the data summary Tables 49 and 50 below in the "Edits encoded " column. Each of the PEgRNAs also encode an NGG->NGC PAM silencing edit. In Tables 49and 50,where only one edit is indicated, the edit also results in the PAM silencing. Where two edits are indicated for one PEgRNA, the G->C or C->G nucleotide substitution is the PAM silencing edit. The nick-to- edit distance (i.e. number of nucleotides from the position of the edit to the position the nick site) for the stop codon insertion or frameshift mutation encoded by each PEgRNA are also indicated in the Tables. [0990]17 ngRNAs, including 1 PE3 ngRNA and 16 PE3b ngRNAs, were also designed to test the efficiency of PE3 editing strategy. PEgRNAs and ngRNAs were chemically synthesized and included end modifications 3’ mN*mN*mN*N and 5’mN*mN*mN*, where a "m" indicates that the nucleotide contains a 2’-O-Me modification and a * indicates the presence of a phosphorothioate bond. [0991]HepG2 cells were cultured in EMEM with 10% FBS and 1% P/S. For 96 well-plates, the cells were seeded at 10,000 cells per well 24 hours prior to transfection. Seeded cells were transfected with Lipofectamine MessengerMAX reagent according to manufacturer ’s protocol with PEgRNAs (and ngRNAs where appliable) and plasmid DNA encoding a prime editor fusion protein. 72 hours after transfection, genomic DNA was extracted by aspirating media, adding QuickExtract DNA Extraction solution and incubating according to manufacturer ’s protocol for high-throughput sequencing using NextSeq. The following sequencing primers were used for clonal amplification: Forward primer - GCTGGGCACGCGTTTAATAT Reverse primer - GGGCCACCAAGGAGAACTT id="p-992"
[0992]The PCR samples were then barcoded and pooled according to manufacturer ’s protocol for NextSeq analysis. [0993]PEgRNA sequences and the results are summarized in Tables 49 (PE2 editing strategy) and 50 (PE3 editing strategy) .

Two PEgRNA- ngRNA pairs were tested. The PEgRNAs and ngRNAs were chemically synthesized. The PEgRNAs and ngRNAs each contained a 3’ UUUU end adaptation as indicated in the sequences, and further contained chemical modifications 3’ mN*mN*mN*N and 5’mN*mN*mN*N modifications, where m indicates that the nucleotide contains a 2’-O-Me modification and a * indicates a phosphorothioate bond. [0995]T cells were cultured in ImmunoCult XF T cell Expansion medium (StemCell Technologies) containing 1% L-glutamine, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Lonza), and 1IU/mL IL-2 (PeproTech). T cells were activated with DynaBeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28 (ThermoFisher) at a 1:1 bead:cell ratio for 48 hours prior to electroporation. After 48 hours of stimulation, DynaBeads were magnetically removed, and T cells were washed once with PBS prior to resuspension in electroporation buffer. T cells were resuspended in MaxCyte electroporation buffer containing polynucleotide encoding a prime editor fusion protein, PEgRNA, and ngRNA for electroporation. Following electroporation, T cells were transferred to an empty well-plate and allowed to recover at 37 °C, 5% CO2 for minutes. Subsequently, cells were suspended in basal medium (without cytokines) and incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 for 20 minutes before being suspended in complete T cell medium. Genomic DNA was extracted using Lucigen QuickExtraction Solution according to manufacturer ’s protocol for sequence analysis. [0996]Prime Editing efficiency and indel frequency were assessed by amplicon sequencing of using the primers listed in Table 44 for B2M amplification. These primers bear Illumina forward and reverse adapters, allowing amplicons generating in a first round of PCR (PCRI) to serve as templates for a second round of PCR (PCR2) with unique Illumina barcoding primer pairs. PCR2 products were pooled by common amplicons, purified by gel electrophoresis, and quantified by Qubit (ThermoFisher). Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq instrument using Illumna MiSeq control software. Reads were demultiplexed by the Illumina MiSeq control software and analyzed using CRISPResso 2.
Three technical replicates were included for PEgRNA-ngRNA pairs tested. The results are summarized in Table 51.
