The neurofibromatosis type I messenger RNA undergoes base-modification RNA editing.

ABSTRACT: A functional mooring sequence, known to be required for apolipoprotein B (apoB) mRNA editing, exists in the mRNA encoding the neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) tumor suppressor. Editing of NF1 mRNA modifies cytidine in an arginine codon (CGA) at nucleotide 2914 to a uridine (UGA), creating an in frame translation stop codon. NF1 editing occurs in normal tissue but was several-fold higher in tumors. In vitro editing and transfection assays demonstrated that apoB and NF1 RNA editing will take place in both neural tumor and hepatoma cells. Unlike apoB, NF1 editing did not demonstrate dependence on rate-limiting quantities of APOBEC-1 (the apoB editing catalytic subunit) suggesting that different trans-acting factors may be involved in the two editing processes.

Targeted point mutations of the m6A modification in miR675 using RNA-guided base editing induce cell apoptosis.

Project description:Methylation of the adenine base at the nitrogen 6 position (m6A) is the most common post-transcriptional epigenetic modification of RNA, and it plays a very important role in regulating gene expression. To investigate the role of m6A methylation in the expression of non-coding RNA and miRNA, we used a system of adenine base editors (ABEs). Here, we mutated regions up- and downstream of miRNA 675 m6A modification sites in the H19 locus using HEK293T, L02, MHCC97L, MHCC97H, A549, and SGC-7901 cells. Our results showed that a T-A base transversion had occurred in all cell lines. Moreover, mutation of the regions upstream of the miRNA 675 m6A modification site led to reduced expression of H19 and the induction of cell apoptosis in HEK293T cells. To further confirm our results, L02 and MHCC97L cells were detected using ABEs system. The results indicated increased cell apoptosis and reduced expression of miR675 as well as H19. To confirm the relationship between H19 and miR675 expression, overexpression and knockdown studies were performed. The results showed that reduced HI9 expression induced cell apoptosis through miR675. Taken together, these results indicate that m6A modification can regulate the expression of H19 and miR675 which induce cell apoptosis.

Highly efficient RNA-guided base editing in rabbit.

Project description:Cytidine base editors (CBEs) and adenine base editors (ABEs), composed of a cytidine deaminase or an evolved adenine deaminase fused to Cas9 nickase, enable the conversion of C·G to T·A or A·T to G·C base pair in organisms, respectively. Here, we show that BE3 and ABE7.10 systems can achieve a targeted mutation efficiency of 53-88% and 44-100%, respectively, in both blastocysts and Founder (F0) rabbits. Meanwhile, this strategy can be used to precisely mimic human pathologies by efficiently inducing nonsense or missense mutations as well as RNA mis-splicing in rabbit. In addition, the reduced frequencies of indels with higher product purity are also determined in rabbit blastocysts by BE4-Gam, which is an updated version of the BE3 system. Collectively, this work provides a simple and efficient method for targeted point mutations and generation of disease models in rabbit.

Transglycosylation: a mechanism for RNA modification (and editing?).

Project description:The vast majority of the ca. 100 chemically distinct modified nucleosides in RNA appear to arise via the chemical transformation of a genetically encoded nucleoside. Two notable exceptions are queuosine and pseudouridine, which are incorporated into tRNA via transglycosylation. Transglycosylation is an extremely efficient process for incorporating highly modified bases such as queuine into RNA. Transglycosylation is also a requisite process for "isomerizing" an N-nucleoside into a C-nucleoside as is the case for pseudouridine formation. Finally, transglycosylation is an attractive possibility for certain RNA editing events (e.g., pyrimidine to purine conversions) that cannot occur via the known, more straightforward enzymatic reactions (e.g., deaminations). This review discusses what is known about the mechanisms of transglycosylation for the queuine and pseudouridine RNA modifications and will speculate about a potential role for transglycosylation in certain RNA editing events.

A cytosine deaminase for programmable single-base RNA editing.

Project description:Programmable RNA editing enables reversible recoding of RNA information for research and disease treatment. Previously, we developed a programmable adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing approach by fusing catalytically inactivate RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas13 (dCas13) with the adenine deaminase domain of ADAR2. Here, we report a cytidine-to-uridine (C-to-U) RNA editor, referred to as RNA Editing for Specific C-to-U Exchange (RESCUE), by directly evolving ADAR2 into a cytidine deaminase. RESCUE doubles the number of mutations targetable by RNA editing and enables modulation of phosphosignaling-relevant residues. We apply RESCUE to drive β-catenin activation and cellular growth. Furthermore, RESCUE retains A-to-I editing activity, enabling multiplexed C-to-U and A-to-I editing through the use of tailored guide RNAs.

Modification of messenger RNA by 2'-O-methylation regulates gene expression in vivo.

Project description:Epitranscriptomic modifications of mRNA are important regulators of gene expression. While internal 2'-O-methylation (Nm) has been discovered on mRNA, questions remain about its origin and function in cells and organisms. Here, we show that internal Nm modification can be guided by small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), and that these Nm sites can regulate mRNA and protein expression. Specifically, two box C/D snoRNAs (SNORDs) and the 2'-O-methyltransferase fibrillarin lead to Nm modification in the protein-coding region of peroxidasin (Pxdn). The presence of Nm modification increases Pxdn mRNA expression but inhibits its translation, regulating PXDN protein expression and enzyme activity both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings support a model in which snoRNA-guided Nm modifications of mRNA can regulate physiologic gene expression by altering mRNA levels and tuning protein translation.

Targeted Base Editing via RNA-Guided Cytidine Deaminases in Xenopus laevis Embryos.

Project description:Genome editing using programmable nucleases such as CRISPR/Cas9 or Cpf1 has emerged as powerful tools for gene knock-out or knock-in in various organisms. While most genetic diseases are caused by point mutations, these genome-editing approaches are inefficient in inducing single-nucleotide substitutions. Recently, Cas9-linked cytidine deaminases, named base editors (BEs), have been shown to convert cytidine to uridine efficiently, leading to targeted single-base pair substitutions in human cells and organisms. Here, we first report on the generation of Xenopus laevis mutants with targeted single-base pair substitutions using this RNA-guided programmable deaminase. Injection of base editor 3 (BE3) ribonucleoprotein targeting the tyrosinase (tyr) gene in early embryos can induce site-specific base conversions with the rates of up to 20.5%, resulting in oculocutaneous albinism phenotypes without off-target mutations. We further test this base-editing system by targeting the tp53 gene with the result that the expected single-base pair substitutions are observed at the target site. Collectively, these data establish that the programmable deaminases are efficient tools for creating targeted point mutations for human disease modeling in Xenopus.

Developing PspCas13b-based enhanced RESCUE system, eRESCUE, with efficient RNA base editing.

Project description:RNA base editing is potential for cellular function research and genetic diseases treating. There are two main RNA base editors, REPAIR and RESCUE, for in vitro use. REPAIR was developed by fusing inactivated Cas13 (dCas13) with the adenine deaminase domain of ADAR2, which efficiently performs adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing. RESCUE, which performs both cytidine-to-uridine (C-to-U) and A-to-I RNA editing, was developed by fusing inactivated Cas13 (dCas13) with the evolved ADAR2. However, the relatively low editing efficiency of the RESCUE system limits its broad application. Here, we constructed an enhanced RESCUE (eRESCUE) system; this dPspCas13b-RESCUE-NES system was generated by fusing inactivated PspCas13b with the evolved ADAR2. We determined the endogenous mRNA A-to-I and C-to-U editing efficiency mediated by the dPspCas13b-RESCUE-NES system in HEK-293T cells. This new RNA base editor was then used to induce 177Ser/Gly conversion of inhibitor kappa B kinase β (IKKβ) by changing the genetic code from AGU to GGU. The results showed that the eRESCUE editor mediates more efficient A-to-I and C-to-U RNA editing than the RESCUE RNA editor, as was previously reported. The 177Ser/Gly conversion of IKKβ, accomplished by converting the genetic code from AGU to GGU, resulted in a decrease in the phosphorylation of IKKβ and downregulation of downstream IKKβ-related genes. In summary, we developed a more efficient RNA base editor, eRESCUE, which may provide a useful tool for biomedical research and genetic disease treatment. Video Abstract.

Improving the Precision of Base Editing by Bubble Hairpin Single Guide RNA.

Project description:Base editing is a powerful genome editing approach that enables single-nucleotide changes without double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs). However, off-target effects as well as other undesired editings at on-target sites remain obstacles for its application. Here, we report that bubble hairpin single guide RNAs (BH-sgRNAs), which contain a hairpin structure with a bubble region on the 5' end of the guide sequence, can be efficiently applied to both cytosine base editor (CBE) and adenine base editor (ABE) and significantly decrease off-target editing without sacrificing on-target editing efficiency. Meanwhile, such a design also improves the purity of C-to-T conversions induced by base editor 3 (BE3) at on-target sites. Our results present a distinctive and effective strategy to improve the specificity of base editing.IMPORTANCE Base editors are DSB-free genome editing tools and have been widely used in diverse living systems. However, it is reported that these tools can cause substantial off-target editings. To meet this challenge, we developed a new approach to improve the specificity of base editors by using hairpin sgRNAs with a bubble. Furthermore, our sgRNA design also dramatically reduced indels and unwanted base substitutions at on-target sites. We believe that the BH-sgRNA design is a significant improvement over existing sgRNAs of base editors, and our design promises to be adaptable to various base editors. We expect that it will make contributions to improving the safety of gene therapy.
