Abstract

Provided herein are polypeptides, compositions, and methods for use thereof for genetic and epigenomic engineering, including, genome editing and gene regulation. These polypeptides and compositions include nucleic acid binding domains that bind to a target nucleic acid of interest. The nucleic acid binding domains include repeat units derived from repeat units identified in proteins from animal pathogens such as bacterium of the order Legionellales and the species Legionella and Francisella.
