Figure 1.
In vivo gene targeting of the FIX locus in FIX-KO mouse liver by AAV.SaCas9. Schematic diagrams of the mouse FIX locus show the SaCas9.sgRNA3 target site located in the 5′ end of exon 2; the AAV donor vector that contains U6-sgRNA3 and partial cDNA of codon-optimized, Padua-containing hFIX cDNA (hFIXco-Padua [exon 2-8]) followed by a polyA and flanked by homology arms; the modified mFIX locus after homologous recombination; the chimeric FIX mRNA transcribed from the gene-targeted FIX locus; and the translated chimeric FIX protein. Blue boxes indicate mFIX exons or exon-derived mRNA or protein sequences, and orange boxes indicate codon-optimized hFIX cDNA (exon 2-8), mRNA, or protein.
