Glycans as sugar polymers are important metabolic, structural, and physiological regulators for cellular and biological functions. They are often classified as critical quality attributes to antibodies and recombinant fusion proteins, given their impacts on the efficacy and safety of biologics drugs. Recent reports on the conjugates of N-acetyl-galactosamine and mannose-6-phosphate for lysosomal degradation, Fab glycans for antibody diversification, as well as sialylation therapeutic modulations and O-linked applications, have been fueling the continued interest in glycoengineering. The current advancements of the human glycome and the development of a comprehensive network in glycosylation pathways have presented new opportunities in designing next-generation therapeutic proteins.

Abstract The CRISPR/Cas system is widely used for genome editing. However, robust and targeted insertion of a DNA segment remains a challenge. Here, we present a fusion nuclease (Cas9-N57) to enhance site-specific DNA integration via a fused DNA binding domain of Sleeping Beauty transposase to tether the DNA segment to the Cas9/sgRNA complex. The insertion was unidirectional and specific, and DNA fragments up to 12 kb in length were successfully integrated. As a test of the system, Cas9-N57 mediated the insertion of a CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CD19-CAR) cassette into the AAVS1 locus in human T cells, and induced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in mice by simultaneously mediating the insertion of oncogenic KrasG12D into the Rosa26 locus and disrupting Trp53 and Pten. Moreover, the nuclease-N57 fusion proteins based on AsCpf1 (AsCas12a) and CjCas9 exhibited similar activity. These findings demonstrate that CRISPR-associated nuclease-N57 protein fusion is a powerful tool for targeted DNA insertion and holds great potential for gene therapy applications.
