Description:
RNA-TARGETING COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY TYPE 1 FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [01] The disclosure is directed to molecular biology, gene therapy, and compositions and methods for modifying expression and activity of RNA molecules. RELATED APPLICATIONS [02] This application claims benefit of, and priority to, U.S.S.N.63/119,977 filed on December 1, 2020, U.S.S.N.63/130,092 filed on December 23, 2020, and U.S.S.N. 63/278,746 filed on November 12, 2021; the contents of each are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE OF SEQUENCE LISTING [03] The contents of the text file named “LOCN_007_001WO_SeqList_ST25”, which was created on December 1, 2021 and is 1.81 MB in size, are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. BACKGROUND [04] There are long-felt but unmet needs in the art for providing effective RNA-targeting systems which provide effective gene therapies. In particular, the disclosure provides compositions and methods for specifically targeting and destroying toxic RNAs expressed from repetitive tracts in the microsatellite repeat expansion (MRE) disease known as myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). DM1 is a multisystemic, autosomal-dominant inherited disorder caused by CTG MREs in the 3’ untranslated region of the DMPK gene. As for all MRE diseases, available treatments address symptoms of DM1 but do not target its underlying etiology. Elimination of MREs in DNA with genome editing could eliminate the pathogenic MREs causing DM1 but generation of DNA breaks near repeats activates the repair machinery whose activity is linked to expansion growth and may cause further mutation of the repeats and/or may fail to distinguish the pathogenic repeats from the normal repeats which possess regulatory roles in transcription. Other potential DM1 therapeutics have been evaluated, such as antisense oligonucleotides, shRNAs and small molecules, but these suffer from issues related to frequent redosing, poor penetration of affected tissues, lack of direct engagement with repeats, toxicity and off-target effects. In an effort to overcome these issues, Cas9-based RNA-targeting systems (RCas9) have been shown to be capable of specifically targeting toxic CUG repeat RNA and providing long-term repair of the disease phenotypes associated with DM1 in adult onset myotonic dystrophy in mice. However, other non-Cas9 RNA binding systems need to be delineated and developed for providing effective, sustained, and scalable gene therapy for the treatment of DM1. Such non-Cas9 RNA-binding systems targeting CUG MREs are important for manufacturing scale in that the system components are small enough to rely on a unitary vector. These non-RCas9 systems are also important for avoiding any deleterious immunological responses triggered by immunogenic Cas9 components. Accordingly, new and improved RNA-targeting, non-RCas9 gene therapy compositions and systems capable of eliminating toxic CUG repeats, and methods using the same for treating DM1, are provided herein. SUMMARY [05] The disclosure provides compositions and methods for treating myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [097] The disclosure provides RNA-targeting gene therapy compositions and methods for treating myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). [098] DM1 is a multisystemic, autosomal-dominant inherited disorder caused by CTG microsatellite repeat expansions (MREs) in the 3’ untranslated region of the DMPK gene. RNA transcripts containing the CUG repeat expansions sequester muscleblind-like (MBNL) proteins which are the regulators of the alternative splicing switch from fetal to adult isoforms. Adult DM1 patients experience debilitating myotonia and progressive weakness in skeletal muscle while infants born with DM1 (congenital DM or CDM) are hypotonic and display respiratory insufficiency. The DMPK gene encodes a protein called myotonic dystrophy protein kinase which is believed to play a role in muscle, heart, and brain cells. The protein may be involved in communication within cells. It also appears to regulate the production and function of important structures inside muscle cells by interacting with other proteins. For example, myotonic dystrophy protein kinase has been shown to inhibit part of a muscle protein called myosin phosphatase. Myosin phosphatase is an enzyme that plays a role in muscle tensing (contraction) and relaxation. One region of the DMPK gene contains a segment of three DNA building blocks (nucleotides) that is repeated multiple times. This sequence, which is written as CTG, is called a triplet or trinucleotide repeat. In most unaffected people, the number of CTG repeats in this gene ranges from 5 to 34. In DM1 patients, there is a CTG repeat expansion which increases the size of the CTG repeat in the DMPK gene. DM1 is classified as either adult-onset or as congenital forms that are distinguished by the size of the expanded CTG tract. Repeats in such CTG repeat expansions can range from about 50 to about 1,000 CTG repeats in most cells and in certain cell types, such as muscle cells, the number of repeats are typically greater. Indeed, the size of the trinucleotide repeat expansion is associated with the severity of signs and symptoms of DM1. Classic features such as muscle weakness and wasting beginning in adulthood and correlate with about 100 to about 1,000 CTG repeats per cell. The more severe congenital form of DM1 tends to correlate with over 1,000 CTG repeats per cell. The mild form of DM1 typically ranges from about 50 to about 150 CTG repeats per cell. DM1 is classified as either adult-onset or as congenital forms that are distinguished by the size of the expanded CTG tract. The repetitive RNAs produced by DMPK locus form nuclear RNA foci that sequester RNA binding proteins such as MBNL1 (Muscleblind Like Splicing Regulator 1) and divert them from their homeostatic RNA processing activities. Loss of MBNL1 function is linked to hundreds of alternative splicing defects and respiratory insufficiency which contribute in varying degrees to patient mortality. Targeting and eliminating (or blocking) CUG repeats is a therapeutic strategy for DM1. [099] The gene therapy compositions disclosed herein provide efficacious cleavage or blocking of toxic CUG repeats in methods of treating DM1. Building on prior work using RCas9 systems, disclosed herein are multiple RNA-binding systems which do not rely on RCas9 system components. While Cas9-based RNA-targeting systems (RCas9) are capable of specifically targeting toxic CUG repeat RNA and providing long-term repair of the disease phenotypes associated with DM1 in adult onset myotonic dystrophy in mice, other non-Cas9 RNA binding systems disclosed herein provide efficient cleavage or blocking of toxic CUG repeat RNA. Such non-Cas9 RNA-binding systems targeting CUG MREs are important for scaling of therapeutic systems in manufacturing. In particular, the non-Cas9 system components are a small enough size to rely on a unitary (single) vector. The non-RCas9 systems disclosed herein are capable of achieving effective knockdown or blocking of the toxic CUG repeats compared to RCas9 systems and non-RCas9 systems are also important for avoiding any deleterious immunological responses triggered by immunogenic and unwieldy Cas9 components. [0100] Disclosed herein are compositions comprising nucleic acid molecules, and vectors comprising the same, encoding non-Cas9 RNA-binding systems capable of binding toxic CUG repeat RNA for treating DM1. Such compositions are capable of targeting and binding for either knockdown/destruction or blocking the toxic CUG repeats, both mechanisms (destruction and blocking) causing a correction of MBNL sequestration, alternative splicing, and myotonia. Indeed, in one embodiment, a gene therapy blocking composition comprising PUF(CUG) will bind CUG exp RNA directly and block MBNL sequestration to preserve near normal free MBNL levels and function that will reverse DM1 disease phenotypes such as splicing dysfunction, myotonia and others. In some aspects, compositions suitable for blocking CAG-repeat RNA bind a CUG-repeat containing RNA and prevent translation of the CUG-repeat RNA. In some aspects, this prevented translation results in reduced protein expression from CUG-repeat containing RNA sequences. These systems disclosed herein comprise either RNA-guided RNase Cas or non-guided PUF, PUMBY or PPR protein configurations. [0101] In some embodiments, the guided or non-guided CUG-repeat targeting system targets expanded CUG repeats (CUG exp ), wherein the CUG repeats are CUG 50 or more. In some embodiments, the CUG repeats are CUG 100 or more. In some aspects, the CUG repeats are CUG 500 or more. In some aspects, the CUG repeats are CUG 960 . In some aspects, the CUG 1000 repeats are 1000 CUG repeats or more. To be clear, CUG 50 or CUG 100 or CUG 960 or CUG 1000 refers to 50 CUG repeats or 100 CUG repeats or 960 CUG repeats or 1000 CUG repeats, respectively, in a CUG repeat containing gene. Any other number or range of CUG repeats are possible, including 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 150, 180, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 960, 1000 CUG repeats, or any other number of CUG repeats in between. [0102] In any of the preceding or subsequent RNA-targeting compositions for treating DM1, any particular construct element (e.g., linker, promoter, signal sequence, etc.,) described in the context of a specific RNA-targeting composition, can be substituted for another of the same element type (e.g., linker, promoter, signal sequence, etc.). In some embodiments, any particular construct element can be omitted or removed (such as a tag sequence). In other words, the exemplary combinations of elements in any particular gene therapy composition described herein is not intended to be limiting.

In one embodiment, a Cas13d(CUG) system is catalytically active, in which case, the Cas13d nucleoprotein complex cleaves and destroys toxic RNA CUG repeats. In another embodiment, a Cas13d(CUG system is catalytically inactive, in which case, the Cas13d nucleoprotein complex binds and blocks (but does not cleave) the RNA CUG repeats. In yet another embodiment, a Cas13d(CUG) comprises a catalytically inactive Cas13d(CUG) fused to an endonuclease which is capable of cleaving the toxic RNA CUG repeats. In such an embodiment, the endonuclease is an active RNase. Exemplary endonucleases with RNase activity can be found herein and these include, for example, a domain from a ZC3H12A zinc- finger (also referred herein as E17) or a PIN endonuclease. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG-repeat targeting composition comprises a first promoter sequence that controls expression of a Cas13d protein or Cas13d fusion protein and a second promoter sequences that controls expression of the at least one guide RNA sequence.

[0586] In some embodiments, nucleic acid sequences encoding CUG-targeting Cas13d proteins of the disclosure are codon optimized nucleic acid sequences. In some embodiments, the codon optimized sequence encoding a CUG-targeting Cas13d protein exhibits at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 100%, at least 200%, at least 300%, at least 500%, or at least 1000% increased translation in a human subject relative to a wild-type or non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence. [0587] In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG- targeting Cas13d protein such as those put forth in SEQ ID NOs: 518, 528, 534, 536, and 539 exhibits increased stability. In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG-targeting Cas13d protein exhibits increased stability through increased resistance to hydrolysis. In some embodiments, the codon optimized sequence encoding a CUG-targeting Cas13d protein exhibits at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 100%, at least 200%, at least 300%, at least 500%, or at least 1000% increased stability relative to a wild-type or non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the codon optimized sequence encoding a CUG-targeting Cas13d protein exhibits at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 100%, at least 200%, at least 300%, at least 500%, or at least 1000% increased resistance to hydrolysis in a human subject relative to a wild-type or non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence. [0588] In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG- targeting Cas13d protein such as those put forth in SEQ ID NOs: 518, 528, 534, 536, and 539, can comprise no donor splice sites. In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG-targeting Cas13d protein can comprise no more than about one, or about two, or about three, or about four, or about five, or about six, or about seven, or about eight, or about nine, or about ten donor splice sites. In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG-targeting Cas13d protein comprises at least one, or at least two, or at least three, or at least four, or at least five, or at least six, or at least seven, or at least eight, or at least nine, or at least ten fewer donor splice sites as compared to a non- codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding the CUG-targeting Cas13d protein. [0589] Without wishing to be bound by theory, the removal of donor splice sites in the codon optimized nucleic acid sequence can unexpectedly and unpredictably increase expression of the CUG-targeting Cas13d protein in vivo, as cryptic splicing is prevented. Moreover, cryptic splicing may vary between different subjects, meaning that the expression level of the CUG-targeting Cas13d protein comprising donor splice sites may unpredictably vary between different subjects. Such unpredictability is unacceptable in the context of human therapy. Accordingly, the codon optimized nucleic acid sequences put forth in SEQ ID NOs: 518, 528, 534, 536, and 539, which lacks donor splice sites, unexpectedly and surprisingly allows for increased expression of the CUG-targeting Cas13d protein in human subjects and regularizes expression of the CUG-targeting Cas13d protein across different human subjects. [0590] In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG- targeting Cas13d protein, such as those put forth in SEQ ID NOs: 518, 528, 534, 536, and 539, can have a GC content that differs from the GC content of the non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding the CUG-targeting Cas13d protein. In some aspects, the GC content of a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG-targeting Cas13d protein is more evenly distributed across the entire nucleic acid sequence, as compared to the non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding the CUG-targeting Cas13d protein. [0591] Without wishing to be bound by theory, by more evenly distributing the GC content across the entire nucleic acid sequence, the codon optimized nucleic acid sequence exhibits a more uniform melting temperature (“Tm”) across the length of the transcript. The uniformity of melting temperature results unexpectedly in increased expression of the codon optimized nucleic acid in a human subject, as transcription and/or translation of the nucleic acid sequence occurs with less stalling of the polymerase and/or ribosome. [0592] In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG- targeting Cas13d protein, such as those put forth in SEQ ID NOs: 518, 528, 534, 536, and 539, can have fewer repressive microRNA target binding sites as compared to the non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding the CUG-targeting Cas13d protein. In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG-targeting Cas13d protein can have at least one, or at least two, or at least three, or at least four, or at least five, or at least six, or at least seven, or at least eight, or at least nine, or at least ten, or at least ten fewer repressive microRNA target binding sites as compared to the non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence the CUG-targeting Cas13d protein. [0593] Without wishing to be bound by theory, by having fewer repressive microRNA target binding sites, the codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a CUG-targeting Cas13d protein unexpectedly exhibits increased expression in a human subject.

Non-Guided RNA-Binding Fusion Proteins [0606] In some embodiments, a target RNA-binding fusion protein is not an RNA-guided target RNA-binding fusion protein and as such comprises at least one RNA-binding polypeptide which is capable of binding a target RNA without a corresponding gRNA sequence. Such non-guided RNA-binding polypeptides include, without limitation, at least one RNA-binding protein or RNA-binding portion thereof which is a PUF (Pumilio and FBF homology family) protein. This type RNA- binding polypeptide can be used instead of a gRNA-guided RNA binding protein such as CRISPR/Cas. The unique RNA recognition mode of PUF proteins (named for Drosophila Pumilio and C. elegans fem-3 binding factor) that are involved in mediating mRNA stability and translation are well known in the art. The PUF domain of human Pumilio1, also known in the art, binds tightly to cognate RNA sequences and its specificity can be modified. It contains eight PUF modules that recognize eight consecutive RNA bases with each module recognizing a single base. Since two amino acid side chains in each module recognize the Watson-Crick edge of the corresponding base and determine the specificity of that module, a PUF protein can be designed to specifically bind most 8 to 16-nt RNA. Wang et al., Nat Methods.2009; 6(11): 825-830. See also WO2012/068627 which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. [0607] The modular nature of the PUF-RNA interaction has been used to rationally engineer the binding specificity of PUF domains (Cheong, C. G. & Hall, T. M. (2006) PNAS 103: 13635-13639; Wang, X. et al (2002) Cell 110: 501-512). However, only the successful design of PUF domains with modules that recognize adenine, guanine or uracil have been reported prior to the teachings of WO2012/06827 supra. While the wild-type PumHD does not bind cytosine (C), molecular engineering has shown that some of the Pum units can be mutated to bind C with good yield and specificity. See e.g., Dong, S. et al. Specific and modular binding code for cytosine recognition in Pumilio/FBF (PUF) RNA-binding domains, The Journal of biological chemistry 286, 26732-26742 (2011). Accordingly, PumHD is a modified version of the WT Pumilio protein that exhibits programmable binding to arbitrary 8-base sequences of RNA. Each of the eight units of PumHD can bind to all four RNA bases, and the RNA bases flanking the target sequence do not affect binding.

[0608] As such, it is well known in the art that human PUM1 (1186 amino acids) contains an RNA-binding domain (RBD) in the C-terminus of the protein (also known as Pumilio homology domain PUM-HD amino acid 828-amino acid 1175) and that PUFs are based on the RBD of human PUM1. There are 8 structural modules of 36 amino acids (except module 7 which has 43 amino acids) for RNA binding and flanking N- and C- terminal regions important for protein structure and stability. Within each module, amino acids 12, 13, and 16 are important for RNA binding with 12 and 16 responsible for RNA base recognition. Amino acid 13 stacks with RNA bases and can be modified to tune specificity and affinity. Alternatively, the PUF design may maintain amino acid 13 as human PUM1’s native residue. In some embodiments of the PUF(CUG) or PUMBY(CUG) compositions disclosed herein, amino acid 13 (for stacking) will be engineered with an H and in other embodiments, will be engineered with a Y. In some embodiments, stacking residues may be modified to improve binding and specificity. Recognition occurs in reverse orientation as N- to C-terminal PUF recognizes 3’ to 5’ RNA. Accordingly, PUF engineering of 8 modules (8PUF), as known in the art, mimics a human protein. An exemplary 8-mer RNA recognition (8PUF) would be designed as follows: R1’-R1-R2-R3-R4-R5-R6-R7-R8-R8’. In one embodiment, an 8PUF is used as the RBD. In another embodiment, a variation of the 8PUF design is used to create a 14-mer RNA recognition (14PUF) RBD, 15-mer RNA recognition (15PUF) RBD, or a 16- mer RNA recognition (16PUF) RBD. In another embodiment, the PUF can be engineered to comprise a 4-mer, 5-mer, 6-mer, 7-mer, 8-mer, 9-mer, 10-mer, 11-mer, 12-mer, 13-mer, 14- mer, 15-mer, 16-mer, 24-mer, 30-mer, 36-mer, or any number of modules between. Shinoda et al., 2018; Criscuolo et al., 2020. Repeats 1-8 of wild type human PUM1 are provided herewith at SEQ ID NOS: 462-469, respectively. The nucleic acid sequence encoding the PUF domain from human PUM1 is SEQ ID NO: 470 and the amino acid sequence of the PUF domain from human PUM1 amino acids 828-1176 is SEQ ID NO: 471. See also US Patent 9,580,714 which is incorporated herein in its entirety. [0609] In some embodiments of the non-guided RNA-binding fusion proteins of the disclosure, the fusion protein comprises at least one RNA-binding protein or RNA-binding portion thereof which is a PUMBY (Pumilio-based assembly) protein. RNA-binding protein PumHD, which has been widely used in native and modified form for targeting RNA, has been engineered into a protein architecture designed to yield a set of four canonical protein modules, each of which targets one RNA base. These modules (i.e., Pumby, for Pumilio- based assembly) are concatenated in chains of varying composition and length, to bind desired target RNAs. In essence, PUMBY is a more simple and modular form of PumHD, in which a single protein unit of PumHD is concatenated into arrays of arbitrary size and binding sequence specificity. The specificity of such Pumby–RNA interactions is high, with undetectable binding of a Pumby chain to RNA sequences that bear three or more mismatches from the target sequence.

In some embodiments, the codon optimized sequence encoding a PUF protein exhibits at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 100%, at least 200%, at least 300%, at least 500%, or at least 1000% increased expression in a human subject relative to a wild-type or non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, an 8PUF protein of the disclosure is encoded by a nucleic acid sequences comprising SEQ ID NO: 452. In some embodiments, a nucleotide sequence encoding a fusion protein comprising a CUG targeting 8PUF and an E17 nuclease comprises SEQ ID NO: 460. In some embodiments, a nucleotide sequence encoding a CUG-targeting fusion protein comprises, from 5’ to 3’: a flag tag, SV- 40 nuclear localization sequence, an 8PUF, and an E17 nuclease is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 515. In some embodiments, a nucleotide sequence encoding a CUG-targeting fusion protein comprises, from 5’ to 3’: a SV-40 nuclear localization sequence, an 8PUF, and an E17 nuclease is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 517. In some embodiments, a nucleotide sequence encoding a CUG-targeting fusion protein comprises, from 5’ to 3’: an 8PUF and an E17 nuclease is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 516. [0630] In some embodiments, nucleic acid sequences encoding PUF proteins of the disclosure are codon optimized nucleic acid sequences. In some embodiments, the codon optimized sequence encoding a PUF protein exhibits at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 100%, at least 200%, at least 300%, at least 500%, or at least 1000% increased translation in a human subject relative to a wild-type or non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence. [0631] In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a PUF protein such as those put forth in SEQ ID NOs: 452 and 515-517exhibits increased stability. In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a PUF protein exhibits increased stability through increased resistance to hydrolysis. In some embodiments, the codon optimized sequence encoding a PUF protein exhibits at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 100%, at least 200%, at least 300%, at least 500%, or at least 1000% increased stability relative to a wild-type or non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the codon optimized sequence encoding a PUF protein exhibits at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 100%, at least 200%, at least 300%, at least 500%, or at least 1000% increased resistance to hydrolysis in a human subject relative to a wild-type or non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence. [0632] In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a PUF protein such as those put forth in SEQ ID NOs: 452 and 515-517, can comprise no donor splice sites. In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a PUF protein can comprise no more than about one, or about two, or about three, or about four, or about five, or about six, or about seven, or about eight, or about nine, or about ten donor splice sites. In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a PUF protein comprises at least one, or at least two, or at least three, or at least four, or at least five, or at least six, or at least seven, or at least eight, or at least nine, or at least ten fewer donor splice sites as compared to a non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding the PUF protein. [0633] Without wishing to be bound by theory, the removal of donor splice sites in the codon optimized nucleic acid sequence can unexpectedly and unpredictably increase expression of the PUF protein in vivo, as cryptic splicing is prevented. Moreover, cryptic splicing may vary between different subjects, meaning that the expression level of the PUF protein comprising donor splice sites may unpredictably vary between different subjects. Such unpredictability is unacceptable in the context of human therapy. Accordingly, the codon optimized nucleic acid sequences put forth in SEQ ID NOs: 452 and 515-517, which lacks donor splice sites, unexpectedly and surprisingly allows for increased expression of the PUF protein in human subjects and regularizes expression of the PUF protein across different human subjects. [0634] In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a PUF protein, such as those put forth in SEQ ID NOs: 452 and 515-517, can have a GC content that differs from the GC content of the non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding the PUF protein. In some aspects, the GC content of a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a PUF protein is more evenly distributed across the entire nucleic acid sequence, as compared to the non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding the PUF protein. [0635] Without wishing to be bound by theory, by more evenly distributing the GC content across the entire nucleic acid sequence, the codon optimized nucleic acid sequence exhibits a more uniform melting temperature (“Tm”) across the length of the transcript. The uniformity of melting temperature results unexpectedly in increased expression of the codon optimized nucleic acid in a human subject, as transcription and/or translation of the nucleic acid sequence occurs with less stalling of the polymerase and/or ribosome. [0636] In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a PUF protein, such as those put forth in SEQ ID NOs: 452 and 515-517, can have fewer repressive microRNA target binding sites as compared to the non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding the PUF protein. In some aspects, a codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a PUF protein can have at least one, or at least two, or at least three, or at least four, or at least five, or at least six, or at least seven, or at least eight, or at least nine, or at least ten, or at least ten fewer repressive microRNA target binding sites as compared to the non-codon optimized nucleic acid sequence the PUF protein. [0637] Without wishing to be bound by theory, by having fewer repressive microRNA target binding sites, the codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encoding a PUF protein unexpectedly exhibits increased expression in a human subject.

In a particular embodiment, the single vector comprises the RNA-guided RNA-binding systems which are Cas13d RNA-guided RNA-binding systems or catalytic deactivated Cas13d (dCas13d) RNA-guided RNA-binding systems. In one embodiment, the single vector comprises the Cas13d RNA-guided RNA-binding systems which are CasRx or dCasRx RNA-guided RNA-binding systems.

In another embodiment, the single vector comprises a dCas13d RNA-binding system fused with a nuclease domain from ZC3H12A, such as E17 (SEQ ID NO: 358). [0704] In some embodiments of the compositions and methods of the disclosure, a first vector comprises a guide RNA of the disclosure and a second vector comprises an RNA- binding protein or RNA-binding fusion protein of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the first vector comprises at least one guide RNA of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the first vector comprises one or more guide RNA(s) of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the first vector comprises two or more guide RNA(s) of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the fusion protein comprises a first RNA binding protein and a second RNA binding protein. In some embodiments, the first vector and the second vector are identical vectors or vector serotypes. In some embodiments, the first vector and the second vector are not identical vectors or vector serotypes. In some embodiments of the compositions and methods of the disclosure, the RNA-binding systems capable of targeting toxic CUG RNA repeats are in a single vector. [0705] One type of vector is a "plasmid," which refers to a circular double stranded DNA loop into which additional DNA segments can be inserted, such as by standard molecular cloning techniques. Another type of vector is a viral vector, wherein virally -derived DNA or RNA sequences are present in the vector for packaging into a virus (e.g., retroviruses, replication defective retroviruses, adenoviruses, replication defective adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses). Viral vectors also include polynucleotides carried by a virus for transfection into a host cell. In some embodiments, the vector is a lentivirus (such as an integration-deficient lentiviral vector) or adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector. Vectors are capable of autonomous replication in a host cell into which they are introduced such as e.g., bacterial vectors having a bacterial origin of replication and episomal mammalian vectors and other vectors such as, e.g., non-episomal mammalian vectors, are integrated into the genome of a host cell upon introduction into the host cell, and thereby are replicated along with the host genome. [0706] In some embodiments, vectors such as e.g., expression vectors, are capable of directing the expression of genes to which they are operatively-linked. Common expression vectors are often in the form of plasmids. In some embodiments, recombinant expression vectors comprise a nucleic acid provided herein such as e.g., a guide RNA which can be expressed from a DNA sequence, and a nucleic acid encoding a Cas 13d protein, in a form suitable for expression of a protein in a host cell. Recombinant expression vectors include one or more regulatory elements, which may be selected on the basis of the host cells to be used for expression, that is operatively-linked to the nucleic acid sequence to be expressed. Within a recombinant expression vector, "operably linked" is intended to mean that the nucleotide sequence of interest is linked to the regulatory element(s) in a manner that allows for expression of the nucleotide sequence such as e.g., in an in vitro transcription/translation system or in a host cell when the vector is introduced into the host cell. Certain embodiments of a vector depend on factors such as the choice of the host cell to be transformed, and the level of expression desired. A vector can be introduced into host cells to thereby produce transcripts, proteins, or peptides, including fusion proteins or peptides, encoded by nucleic acids as described herein such as, e.g., CRISPR transcripts, proteins, enzymes, mutant forms thereof, fusion proteins thereof, etc. [0707] In some embodiments of the compositions and methods of the disclosure, a vector of the disclosure is a viral vector. In some embodiments, the viral vector comprises a sequence isolated or derived from a retrovirus. In some embodiments, the viral vector comprises a sequence isolated or derived from a lentivirus. In some embodiments, the viral vector comprises a sequence isolated or derived from an adenovirus. In some embodiments, the viral vector comprises a sequence isolated or derived from an adeno-associated virus (AAV). In some embodiments, the viral vector is replication incompetent. In some embodiments, the viral vector is isolated or recombinant. In some embodiments, the viral vector is self- complementary. [0708] The term "adeno-associated virus" or "AAV" as used herein refers to a member of the class of viruses associated with this name and belonging to the genus Dependoparvovirus, family Parvoviridae. Adeno-associated virus is a single-stranded DNA virus that grows in cells in which certain functions are provided by a co-infecting helper virus. General information and reviews of AAV can be found in, for example, Carter, 1989, Handbook of Parvoviruses, Vol.1, pp.169- 228, and Berns, 1990, Virology, pp.1743-1764, Raven Press, (New York). It is fully expected that the same principles described in these reviews will be applicable to additional AAV serotypes characterized after the publication dates of the reviews because it is well known that the various serotypes are quite closely related, both structurally and functionally, even at the genetic level. (See, for example, Blacklowe, 1988, pp.165-174 of Parvoviruses and Human Disease, J. R. Pattison, ed.; and Rose, Comprehensive Virology 3: 1-61 (1974)). For example, all AAV serotypes apparently exhibit very similar replication properties mediated by homologous rep genes; and all bear three related capsid proteins such as those expressed in AAV2. The degree of relatedness is further suggested by heteroduplex analysis which reveals extensive cross-hybridization between serotypes along the length of the genome; and the presence of analogous self-annealing segments at the termini that correspond to "inverted terminal repeat sequences" (ITRs). The similar infectivity patterns also suggest that the replication functions in each serotype are under similar regulatory control. Multiple serotypes of this virus are known to be suitable for gene delivery; all known serotypes can infect cells from various tissue types. [0709] AAV possesses unique features that make it attractive as a vector for delivering foreign DNA to cells, for example, in gene therapy. AAV infection of cells in culture is noncytopathic, and natural infection of humans and other animals is silent and asymptomatic. Moreover, AAV infects many mammalian cells allowing the possibility of targeting many different tissues in vivo. Moreover, AAV transduces slowly dividing and non-dividing cells, and can persist essentially for the lifetime of those cells as a transcriptionally active nuclear episome (extrachromosomal element). The AAV proviral genome is inserted as cloned DNA in plasmids, which makes construction of recombinant genomes feasible. Furthermore, because the signals directing AAV replication and genome encapsidation are contained within the ITRs of the AAV genome, some or all of the internal approximately 4.3 kb of the genome (encoding replication and structural capsid proteins, rep-cap) may be replaced with foreign DNA to generate AAV vectors. The rep and cap proteins may be provided in trans. Another significant feature of AAV is that it is an extremely stable and hearty virus. It easily withstands the conditions used to inactivate adenovirus (56° to 65°C for several hours), making cold preservation of AAV less critical. AAV may even be lyophilized. Finally, AAV- infected cells are not resistant to superinfection. [0710] AAV (AAV or AAV vector) genomes of the invention comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of a nucleic acid molecule encoding a CUG-repeat targeting composition (such as a PUF, PUMBY, or RNA-guided protein) and one or more AAV ITRs flanking the nucleic acid molecule. Production of pseudotyped AAV is disclosed in, for example, WO2001083692. Other types of AAV variants, for example rAAV with capsid mutations, are also contemplated. See, e.g., Marsic et al., Molecular Therapy, 22(11): 1900-1909 (2014). The nucleotide sequences of the genomes of various AAV serotypes are known in the art. [0711] In some embodiments of the compositions and methods of the disclosure, the viral vector comprises a sequence isolated or derived from an adeno-associated virus (AAV). In some embodiments, the viral vector comprises an inverted terminal repeat sequence or a capsid sequence that is isolated or derived from an AAV of serotype AAVrh.74, AAV1, AAV2, AAV3, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV7, AAV8, AAV9, AAV10 (AAVrh10), AAV11 or AAV12. In one embodiment, the AAV vector comprises a modified capsid. In one embodiment the AAV vector is an AAV2-Tyr mutant vector. In one embodiment the AAV vector comprises a capsid with a non-tyrosine amino acid at a position that corresponds to a surface-exposed tyrosine residue in position Tyr252, Tyr272, Tyr275, Tyr281, Tyr508, Tyr612, Tyr704, Tyr720, Tyr730 or Tyr673 of wild-type AAV2. See also WO 2008/124724 incorporated herein in its entirety. In some embodiments, the AAV vector comprises an engineered capsid. AAV vectors comprising engineered capsids include without limitation, AAV2.7m8, AAV9.7m8, AAV22tYF, and AAV8 Y733F). In some embodiments, the viral vector is replication incompetent. In some embodiments, the viral vector is isolated or recombinant (rAAV). In some embodiments, the viral vector is self-complementary (scAAV). [0712] In some embodiments of the compositions and methods of the disclosure, a vector of the disclosure is a non-viral vector. In some embodiments, the vector comprises or consists of a nanoparticle, a micelle, a liposome or lipoplex, a polymersome, a polyplex or a dendrimer. In some embodiments, the vector is an expression vector or recombinant expression system. As used herein, the term “recombinant expression system” refers to a genetic construct for the expression of certain genetic material formed by recombination. [0713] In some embodiments of the compositions and methods of the disclosure, an expression vector, viral vector or non-viral vector provided herein, includes without limitation, an expression control element. An “expression control element” as used herein refers to any sequence that regulates the expression of a coding sequence, such as a gene. Exemplary expression control elements include but are not limited to promoters, enhancers, microRNAs, post-transcriptional regulatory elements, polyadenylation signal sequences, and introns. Expression control elements may be constitutive, inducible, repressible, or tissue- specific, for example. A “promoter” is a control sequence that is a region of a polynucleotide sequence at which initiation and rate of transcription are controlled. It may contain genetic elements at which regulatory proteins and molecules may bind such as RNA polymerase and other transcription factors. In some embodiments, expression control by a promoter is tissue- specific. In some embodiments, expression control by a promoter is constitutive or ubiquitous. Non-limiting exemplary promoters include a Pol III promoter such as, e.g., U6 and H1 promoters and/or a Pol II promoter e.g., SV40, CMV (optionally including the CMV enhancer), RSV (Rous Sarcoma Virus LTR promoter (optionally including RSV enhancer), CBA (hybrid CMV enhancer/ chicken ß-actin), CAG (hybrid CMV enhancer fused to chicken ß-actin), truncated CAG, Cbh (hybrid CBA), EF-1a (human elongation factor alpha- 1) or EFS (short intron-less EF-1 alpha), PGK (phosphoglycerol kinase), CEF (chicken embryo fibroblasts), UBC (ubiquitin C), GUSB (lysosomal enzyme beta-glucuronidase), UCOE (ubiquitous chromatin opening element), hAAT (alpha-1 antitrypsin), TBG (thyroxine binding globulin), Desmin (full-length or truncated), MCK (muscle creatine kinase), C5-12 (synthetic muscle promoter), CK8e (creatin kinase 8), NSE (neuron-specific enolase), Synapsin, Synapsin-1 (SYN-1), opsin, PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor), PDGF-A, MecP2 (methyl CpG-binding protein 2), CaMKII (Calcium/ Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II), mGluR2 (metabotropic glutamate receptor 2), NFL (neurofilament light), NFH (neurofilament heavy), nβ2, PPE (rat preproenkephalin), ENK (preproenkephalin), Preproenkephalin-neurofilament chimeric promoter, EAAT2 (glutamate transporter), GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein), MBP (myelin basic protein), human rhodopsin kinase promoter (hGRK1), ß-actin promoter, dihydrofolate reductase promoter, MHCK7 (hybrid promoter of enhancer/ promoter regions of muscle creatine kinase and alpha myosin heavy- chain genes) and combinations thereof. An “enhancer” is a region of DNA that can be bound by activating proteins to increase the likelihood or frequency of transcription. Non-limiting exemplary enhancers and posttranscriptional regulatory elements include the CMV enhancer, MCK enhancer, R-U5’ segment in LTR of HTLV-1, SV40 enhancer, the intron sequence between exons 2 and 3 of rabbit ß-globin, and Woodchuck Hepatitis Virus (WHP) Posttranscriptional Regulatory Element (WPRE). In some embodiments an intron is used to enhance promoter activity such as a UBB intron. In some embodiments, the UBB intron is used with an EFS promoter. [0714] In some embodiments of the compositions and methods of the disclosure, an expression vector, viral vector or non-viral vector provided herein, includes without limitation, vector elements such as an IRES or 2A peptide sites for configuration of “multicistronic” or “polycistronic” or “bicistronic” or tricistronic” constructs, i.e., having double or triple or multiple coding areas or exons, and as such will have the capability to express from mRNA two or more proteins from a single construct. Multicistronic vectors simultaneously express two or more separate proteins from the same mRNA. The two strategies most widely used for constructing multicistronic configurations are through the use of an IRES or a 2A self-cleaving site. An “IRES” refers to an internal ribosome entry site or portion thereof of viral, prokaryotic, or eukaryotic origin which are used within polycistronic vector constructs. In some embodiments, an IRES is an RNA element that allows for translation initiation in a cap-independent manner. The term “self-cleaving peptides” or “sequences encoding self-cleaving peptides” or “2A self-cleaving site” refer to linking sequences which are used within vector constructs to incorporate sites to promote ribosomal skipping and thus to generate two polypeptides from a single promoter, such self- cleaving peptides include without limitation, T2A, and P2A peptides or other sequences encoding the self-cleaving peptides. [0715] In one embodiment, exemplary vector configurations are shown in Figures 4A-4C. Exemplary vector configurations comprise a promoter or regulatory sequence (promoter/enhancer combination) driving the expression of the nucleic acid encoding the CUG-targeting PUF-endonuclease fusion. In another embodiment, a vector configuration comprises a promoter driving expression of the RNA-guided Cas RNase RNA-binding protein, or dCas protein fusion in operable linkage with a second promoter driving expressing of a cognate gRNA. In another embodiment, the vector configuration comprises a linker and one or more tags. [0716] In some embodiments, the vector is a viral vector. In some embodiments, the vector is an adenoviral vector, an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector, or a lentiviral vector. In some embodiments, the vector is a retroviral vector, an adenoviral/retroviral chimera vector, a herpes simplex viral I or II vector, a parvoviral vector, a reticuloendotheliosis viral vector, a polioviral vector, a papillomaviral vector, a vaccinia viral vector, or any hybrid or chimeric vector incorporating favorable aspects of two or more viral vectors. In some embodiments, the vector further comprises one or more expression control elements operably linked to the polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the vector further comprises one or more selectable markers. In some embodiments, the AAV vector has low toxicity.

Lentiviral vectors are well-known in the art (see, e.g., Trono D. (2002) Lentiviral vectors, New York: Spring-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg and Durand et al. (2011) Viruses 3(2):132-159 doi: 10.3390/v3020132).

Nucleic Acids [0717] Provided herein are the nucleic acid sequences encoding RNA-binding CUG repeat- targeting systems disclosed herein for use in gene transfer and expression techniques described herein. It should be understood, although not always explicitly stated that the sequences provided herein can be used to provide the expression product as well as substantially identical sequences that produce a protein that has the same biological properties. These “biologically equivalent” or “biologically active” or “equivalent” polypeptides are encoded by equivalent polynucleotides as described herein. They may possess at least 60%, or alternatively, at least 65%, or alternatively, at least 70%, or alternatively, at least 75%, or alternatively, at least 80%, or alternatively at least 85%, or alternatively at least 90%, or alternatively at least 95% or alternatively at least 98%, identical primary amino acid sequence to the reference polypeptide when compared using sequence identity methods run under default conditions. Specific polypeptide sequences are provided as examples of particular embodiments. Modifications to the sequences to amino acids with alternate amino acids that have similar charge. Additionally, an equivalent polynucleotide is one that hybridizes under stringent conditions to the reference polynucleotide or its complement or in reference to a polypeptide, a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes to the reference encoding polynucleotide under stringent conditions or its complementary strand. Alternatively, an equivalent polypeptide or protein is one that is expressed from an equivalent polynucleotide. [0718] The nucleic acid sequences (e.g., polynucleotide sequences) disclosed herein may be codon-optimized which is a technique well known in the art. In some embodiments disclosed herein, exemplary Cas sequences, such as e.g., a nucleic acid sequence encoding SEQ ID NO: 92 (Cas13d known as CasRx) or the nucleic acid sequence encoding SEQ ID NO: 298 (Cas13d known as CasRx), are codon optimized for expression in human cells. Codon optimization refers to the fact that different cells differ in their usage of particular codons. This codon bias corresponds to a bias in the relative abundance of particular tRNAs in the cell type. By altering the codons in the sequence to match with the relative abundance of corresponding tRNAs, it is possible to increase expression. It is also possible to decrease expression by deliberately choosing codons for which the corresponding tRNAs are known to be rare in a particular cell type. Codon usage tables are known in the art for mammalian cells, as well as for a variety of other organisms. Based on the genetic code, nucleic acid sequences coding for, e.g., a Cas protein, can be generated. In some embodiments, such a sequence is optimized for expression in a host or target cell, such as a host cell used to express the Cas protein or a cell in which the disclosed methods are practiced (such as in a mammalian cell, e.g., a human cell). Codon preferences and codon usage tables for a particular species can be used to engineer isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding a Cas protein (such as one encoding a protein having at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 92%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100% sequence identity to its corresponding wild-type protein) that takes advantage of the codon usage preferences of that particular species. For example, the Cas proteins disclosed herein can be designed to have codons that are preferentially used by a particular organism of interest. In one example, a Cas nucleic acid sequence is optimized for expression in human cells, such as one having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 92%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity to its corresponding wild-type or originating nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding at least one Cas protein (which can be part of a vector) includes at least one Cas protein coding sequence that is codon optimized for expression in a eukaryotic cell, or at least one Cas protein coding sequence codon optimized for expression in a human cell. In one embodiment, such a codon optimized Cas coding sequence has at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 92%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100% sequence identity to its corresponding wild-type or originating sequence. In another embodiment, a eukaryotic cell codon optimized nucleic acid sequence encodes a Cas protein having at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 92%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100% sequence identity to its corresponding wild-type or originating protein. In another embodiment, a variety of clones containing functionally equivalent nucleic acids may be routinely generated, such as nucleic acids which differ in sequence but which encode the same Cas protein sequence. Silent mutations in the coding sequence result from the degeneracy (i.e., redundancy) of the genetic code, whereby more than one codon can encode the same amino acid residue. Thus, for example, leucine can be encoded by CTT, CTC, CTA, CTG, TTA, or TTG; serine can be encoded by TCT, TCC, TCA, TCG, AGT, or AGC; asparagine can be encoded by AAT or AAC; aspartic acid can be encoded by GAT or GAC; cysteine can be encoded by TGT or TGC; alanine can be encoded by GCT, GCC, GCA, or GCG; glutamine can be encoded by CAA or CAG; tyrosine can be encoded by TAT or TAC; and isoleucine can be encoded by ATT, ATC, or ATA. Tables showing the standard genetic code can be found in various sources (see, for example, Stryer, 1988, Biochemistry, 3.sup.rd Edition, W.H.5 Freeman and Co., NY). [0719] “Hybridization” refers to a reaction in which one or more polynucleotides react to form a complex that is stabilized via hydrogen bonding between the bases of the nucleotide residues. The hydrogen bonding may occur by Watson-Crick base pairing, Hoogstein binding, or in any other sequence-specific manner. The complex may comprise two strands forming a duplex structure, three or more strands forming a multi-stranded complex, a single self-hybridizing strand, or any combination of these. A hybridization reaction may constitute a step in a more extensive process, such as the initiation of a PC reaction, or the enzymatic cleavage of a polynucleotide by a ribozyme. [0720] Examples of stringent hybridization conditions include: incubation temperatures of about 25°C to about 37°C; hybridization buffer concentrations of about 6x SSC to about 10x SSC; formamide concentrations of about 0% to about 25%; and wash solutions from about 4x SSC to about 8x SSC. Examples of moderate hybridization conditions include: incubation temperatures of about 40°C to about 50°C; buffer concentrations of about 9x SSC to about 2x SSC; formamide concentrations of about 30% to about 50%; and wash solutions of about 5x SSC to about 2x SSC. Examples of high stringency conditions include: incubation temperatures of about 55°C to about 68°C; buffer concentrations of about lx SSC to about 0.1x SSC; formamide concentrations of about 55% to about 75%; and wash solutions of about lx SSC, 0.1x SSC, or deionized water. In general, hybridization incubation times are from 5 minutes to 24 hours, with 1, 2, or more washing steps, and wash incubation times are about 1, 2, or 15 minutes. SSC is 0.15 M NaCl and 15 mM citrate buffer. It is understood that equivalents of SSC using other buffer systems can be employed. [0721] “Homology” or “identity” or “similarity” refers to sequence similarity between two peptides or between two nucleic acid molecules. Homology can be determined by comparing a position in each sequence which may be aligned for purposes of comparison. When a position in the compared sequence is occupied by the same base or amino acid, then the molecules are homologous at that position. A degree of homology between sequences is a function of the number of matching or homologous positions shared by the sequences. An “unrelated” or “non-homologous” sequence shares less than 40% identity, or alternatively less than 25% identity, with one of the sequences of the present invention.

The other halves of all the tissues are embedded in OCT and frozen. The muscle sections are cut in a transverse fashion. The other half of the tissues is used to prepare total RNA. [0826] Electromyography is performed prior to sacrificing mice at 4 and 12 weeks timepoints to assess the reversal of disease-associated myotonia (defect in muscle relaxation) as a measure of efficacy of the dCas13d(CUG)-E17 via destruction or dCas13d(CUG) via blocking in reversing myotonic dystrophy type 1 physiological phenotypes.

Example 5: Dose-dependent reduction in CUG exp RNA via destruction or blocking in patient myocytes and HSA DM1 mice (described above) [0827] Myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) is a multisystemic autosomal-dominant inherited disorder caused by CUG microsatellite repeat expansions (MREs) in the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of the DMPK mRNA. Previously, we showed that a CRISPR/Cas9-based RNA-targeting gene therapy has the potential to eliminate toxic RNAs expressed from repetitive tracts in DM1 in primary patient cells and a DM1 mouse model. To further explore therapeutic MRE targeting strategies which are less wieldy and better suited to lower or eliminate off-target effects, we engineered RNA-targeting systems: 1) a novel CRISPR/Cas13d (A01215), 2) a PUF RNA binding protein system derived from the naturally occurring human PUM1 protein linked with an RNA endonuclease (PUF-E17) derived from human ZC3H112A (A01344), and 3) a PUF RNA binding protein system without an endonuclease (A01686) to target and either cleave (1 & 2) or block expanded DM1-related CUG repeats. Modified AAvrh74-packaged Cas13d and PUF-E17 reduced nuclear CUG RNA foci in DM1 patient myocytes in a dose dependent fashion. Further, unitary AAV9- packaged Cas13d, PUF-E17 and PUF (blocking) were separately delivered via intramuscular (IM) and intravenous (IV) injections to adult (8-12 weeks old) HSALR DM1 mice. We report dose-dependent transgene expression, correction of DM1-associated alternative splicing and reduction in myotonia with electromyography at 4 weeks post IM injection with all RNA targeting systems. As expected, reduction in RNA foci and improvements in splicing with Cas13d and PUF-E17 were accompanied by reduction in CUG RNA levels (>50%). In summary, we show different mechanistic approaches (destruction and blocking) that can effectively target the MRE in DMPK and improve molecular and clinical features of DM1. FIGS 6-12. Example 6: Tolerability and transgene expression in NHP studies [0828] Non-human primate (NHP) studies with AAV9 encoding the RNA-targeting compositions described above (A01215, A01344, and A01686) under control of a muscle (skeletal, smooth, and cardiac) specific promoter to assess tolerability and transgene expression levels in target tissues (biodistribution) are being carried out. The RNA-targeting compositions. Vector with DNA encoding CUG-targeting compositions were delivered by an AAV9 vector. PUF(CUG)-E17, Cas13d(CUG) or PUF(CUG) alone expression is driven by a promoter (FIG.4A-C and FIG.12 A-B). In some aspects, a desmin promoter (full-length desmin SEQ ID NO: 568 or truncated desmin SEQ ID NO: 569) is used.
