Random-PE: an efficient integration of random sequences into mammalian genome by prime editing.

ABSTRACT: Prime editing (PE) enables efficiently targeted introduction of multiple types of small-sized genetic change without requiring double-strand breaks or donor templates. Here we designed a simple strategy to introduce random DNA sequences into targeted genomic loci by prime editing, which we named random prime editing (Random-PE). In our strategy, the prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) was engineered to harbor random sequences between the primer binding sequence (PBS) and homologous arm (HA) of the reverse transcriptase templates. With these pegRNAs, we achieved efficient targeted insertion or substitution of random sequences with different lengths, ranging from 5 to 10, in mammalian cells. Importantly, the diversity of inserted sequences is well preserved. By fine-tuning the design of random sequences, we were able to make simultaneously insertions or substitutions of random sequences in multiple sites, allowing in situ evolution of multiple positions in a given protein. Therefore, these results provide a framework for targeted integration of random sequences into genomes, which can be redirected for manifold applications, such as in situ protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) library construction, enhancer screening, and DNA barcoding.

Bi-PE: bi-directional priming improves CRISPR/Cas9 prime editing in mammalian cells.

Project description:Prime editors consisting of Cas9-nickase and reverse transcriptase enable targeted precise editing of small DNA pieces, including all 12 kinds of base substitutions, insertions and deletions, while without requiring double-strand breaks or donor templates. Current optimized prime editing strategy (PE3) uses two guide RNAs to guide the performance of prime editor. One guide RNA carrying both spacer and templating sequences (pegRNA) guides prime editor to produce ssDNA break and subsequent extension, and the other one produces a nick in the complementary strand. Here, we demonstrated that positioning the nick sgRNA nearby the templating sequences of the pegRNA facilitated targeted large fragment deletion and that engineering both guide RNAs to be pegRNAs to achieve bi-direction prime editing (Bi-PE) further increase the efficiency by up to 16 times and improved the accuracy of editing products by 60 times. In addition, we showed that Bi-PE strategy also increased the efficiency of simultaneous conversion of multiple bases but not single base conversion over PE3. In conclusion, Bi-PE strategy expanded the editing scope and improved the efficiency and the accuracy of prime editing system, which might have a wide range of potential applications.

WT-PE: Prime editing with nuclease wild-type Cas9 enables versatile large-scale genome editing.

Project description:Large scale genomic aberrations including duplication, deletion, translocation, and other structural changes are the cause of a subtype of hereditary genetic disorders and contribute to onset or progress of cancer. The current prime editor, PE2, consisting of Cas9-nickase and reverse transcriptase enables efficient editing of genomic deletion and insertion, however, at small scale. Here, we designed a novel prime editor by fusing reverse transcriptase (RT) to nuclease wild-type Cas9 (WT-PE) to edit large genomic fragment. WT-PE system simultaneously introduced a double strand break (DSB) and a single 3' extended flap in the target site. Coupled with paired prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs) that have complementary sequences in their 3' terminus while target different genomic regions, WT-PE produced bi-directional prime editing, which enabled efficient and versatile large-scale genome editing, including large fragment deletion up to 16.8 megabase (Mb) pairs and chromosomal translocation. Therefore, our WT-PE system has great potential to model or treat diseases related to large-fragment aberrations.

PE-Designer and PE-Analyzer: web-based design and analysis tools for CRISPR prime editing.

Project description:Prime editing technology is capable of generating targeted insertions, deletions, and base conversions. However, the process of designing prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs), which contain a primer binding site and a reverse-transcription template at the 3' end, is more complex than that for the single guide RNAs used with CRISPR nucleases or base editors. Furthermore, the assessment of high-throughput sequencing data after prime editors (PEs) have been employed should consider the unique feature of PEs; thus, pre-existing assessment tools cannot directly be adopted for PEs. Here, we present two user-friendly web-based tools for PEs, named PE-Designer and PE-Analyzer. PE-Designer, a dedicated tool for pegRNA selection, provides all possible target sequences, pegRNA extension sequences, and nicking guide RNA sequences together with useful information, and displays the results in an interactive image. PE-Analyzer, a dedicated tool for PE outcome analysis, accepts high-throughput sequencing data, summarizes mutation-related information in a table, and provides interactive graphs. PE-Analyzer was mainly written using JavaScript so that it can analyze several data sets without requiring that huge sequencing data (>100MB) be uploaded to the server, reducing analysis time and increasing personal security. PE-Designer and PE-Analyzer are freely available at http://www.rgenome.net/pe-designer/ and http://www.rgenome.net/pe-analyzer/ without a login process.

Programmable deletion, replacement, integration and inversion of large DNA sequences with twin prime editing.

Project description:The targeted deletion, replacement, integration or inversion of genomic sequences could be used to study or treat human genetic diseases, but existing methods typically require double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) that lead to undesired consequences, including uncontrolled indel mixtures and chromosomal abnormalities. Here we describe twin prime editing (twinPE), a DSB-independent method that uses a prime editor protein and two prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs) for the programmable replacement or excision of DNA sequences at endogenous human genomic sites. The two pegRNAs template the synthesis of complementary DNA flaps on opposing strands of genomic DNA, which replace the endogenous DNA sequence between the prime-editor-induced nick sites. When combined with a site-specific serine recombinase, twinPE enabled targeted integration of gene-sized DNA plasmids (>5,000 bp) and targeted sequence inversions of 40 kb in human cells. TwinPE expands the capabilities of precision gene editing and might synergize with other tools for the correction or complementation of large or complex human pathogenic alleles.

A robust TALENs system for highly efficient mammalian genome editing.

Project description:Recently, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) have emerged as a highly effective tool for genomic editing. A pair of TALENs binds to two DNA recognition sites separated by a spacer sequence, and the dimerized FokI nucleases at the C terminal then cleave DNA in the spacer. Because of its modular design and capacity to precisely target almost any desired genomic locus, TALEN is a technology that can revolutionize the entire biomedical research field. Currently, for genomic editing in cultured cells, two plasmids encoding a pair of TALENs are co-transfected, followed by limited dilution to isolate cell colonies with the intended genomic manipulation. However, uncertain transfection efficiency becomes a bottleneck, especially in hard-to-transfect cells, reducing the overall efficiency of genome editing. We have developed a robust TALENs system in which each TALEN plasmid also encodes a fluorescence protein. Thus, cells transfected with both TALEN plasmids, a prerequisite for genomic editing, can be isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Our improved TALENs system can be applied to all cultured cells to achieve highly efficient genomic editing. Furthermore, an optimized procedure for genomic editing using TALENs is also presented. We expect our system to be widely adopted by the scientific community.

Designing and executing prime editing experiments in mammalian cells.

Project description:Prime editing (PE) is a precision gene editing technology that enables the programmable installation of substitutions, insertions and deletions in cells and animals without requiring double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs). The mechanism of PE makes it less dependent on cellular replication and endogenous DNA repair than homology-directed repair-based approaches, and its ability to precisely install edits without creating DSBs minimizes indels and other undesired outcomes. The capabilities of PE have also expanded since its original publication. Enhanced PE systems, PE4 and PE5, manipulate DNA repair pathways to increase PE efficiency and reduce indels. Other advances that improve PE efficiency include engineered pegRNAs (epegRNAs), which include a structured RNA motif to stabilize and protect pegRNA 3' ends, and the PEmax architecture, which improves editor expression and nuclear localization. New applications such as twin PE (twinPE) can precisely insert or delete hundreds of base pairs of DNA and can be used in tandem with recombinases to achieve gene-sized (>5 kb) insertions and inversions. Achieving optimal PE requires careful experimental design, and the large number of parameters that influence PE outcomes can be daunting. This protocol describes current best practices for conducting PE and twinPE experiments and describes the design and optimization of pegRNAs. We also offer guidelines for how to select the proper PE system (PE1 to PE5 and twinPE) for a given application. Finally, we provide detailed instructions on how to perform PE in mammalian cells. Compared with other procedures for editing human cells, PE offers greater precision and versatility, and can be completed within 2-4 weeks.

Efficient and versatile multiplex prime editing in hexaploid wheat.

Project description:Prime editing is limited by low efficiency in plants. Here, we develop an upgraded engineered plant prime editor in hexaploid wheat, ePPEplus, by introducing a V223A substitution into reverse transcriptase in the ePPEmax* architecture. ePPEplus enhances the efficiency by an average 33.0-fold and 6.4-fold compared to the original PPE and ePPE, respectively. Importantly, a robust multiplex prime editing platform is established for simultaneous editing of four to ten genes in protoplasts and up to eight genes in regenerated wheat plants at frequencies up to 74.5%, thus expanding the applicability of prime editors for stacking of multiple agronomic traits.

Development of Plant Prime-Editing Systems for Precise Genome Editing.

Project description:Prime-editing systems have the capability to perform efficient and precise genome editing in human cells. In this study, we first developed a plant prime editor 2 (pPE2) system and test its activity by generating a targeted mutation on an HPT-ATG reporter in rice. Our results showed that the pPE2 system could induce programmable editing at different genome sites. In transgenic T0 plants, pPE2-generated mutants occurred with 0%-31.3% frequency, suggesting that the efficiency of pPE2 varied greatly at different genomic sites and with prime-editing guide RNAs of diverse structures. To optimize editing efficiency, guide RNAs were introduced into the pPE2 system following the PE3 and PE3b strategy in human cells. However, at the genomic sites tested in this study, pPE3 systems generated only comparable or even lower editing frequencies. Furthemore, we developed a surrogate pPE2 system by incorporating the HPT-ATG reporter to enrich the prime-edited cells. The nucleotide editing was easily detected in the resistant calli transformed with the surrogate pPE2 system, presumably due to the enhanced screening efficiency of edited cells. Taken together, our results indicate that plant prime-editing systems we developed could provide versatile and flexible editing in rice genome.

Deletion and replacement of long genomic sequences using prime editing.

Project description:Genomic insertions, duplications and insertion/deletions (indels), which account for ~14% of human pathogenic mutations, cannot be accurately or efficiently corrected by current gene-editing methods, especially those that involve larger alterations (>100 base pairs (bp)). Here, we optimize prime editing (PE) tools for creating precise genomic deletions and direct the replacement of a genomic fragment ranging from ~1 kilobases (kb) to ~10 kb with a desired sequence (up to 60 bp) in the absence of an exogenous DNA template. By conjugating Cas9 nuclease to reverse transcriptase (PE-Cas9) and combining it with two PE guide RNAs (pegRNAs) targeting complementary DNA strands, we achieve precise and specific deletion and repair of target sequences via using this PE-Cas9-based deletion and repair (PEDAR) method. PEDAR outperformed other genome-editing methods in a reporter system and at endogenous loci, efficiently creating large and precise genomic alterations. In a mouse model of tyrosinemia, PEDAR removed a 1.38-kb pathogenic insertion within the Fah gene and precisely repaired the deletion junction to restore FAH expression in liver.
