An Improved Platform for Functional Assessment of Large Protein Libraries in Mammalian Cells

ABSTRACT: Multiplex genetic assays can simultaneously test thousands of genetic variants for a property of interest. However, limitations of existing multiplex assay methods in cultured mammalian cells hinder the breadth, speed, and scale of these experiments. Here, we describe a series of improvements that greatly enhance the capabilities of a Bxb1 recombinase-based landing pad system for conducting different types of multiplex genetic assays in various mammalian cell lines. We incorporate the landing pad into a lentiviral vector, easing the process of generating new landing pad cell lines. We also develop several new landing pad versions, including one where the Bxb1 recombinase is expressed from the landing pad itself, improving recombination efficiency more than 2-fold and permitting rapid prototyping of transgenic constructs. Other versions incorporate positive and negative selection markers that enable drug-based enrichment of recombinant cells, enabling the use of larger libraries and reducing costs. A version with dual convergent promoters allows enrichment of recombinant cells independent of transgene expression, permitting the assessment of libraries of transgenes that perturb cell growth and survival. Finally, we demonstrate these improvements by assessing the effects of a combinatorial library of oncogenes and tumor suppressors on cell growth. Collectively, these advancements make multiplex genetic assays in diverse cultured cell lines easier, cheaper and more effective, facilitating future studies probing how proteins impact cell function, using transgenic variant libraries tested individually or in combination.

Mammalian Genomic Manipulation with Orthogonal Bxb1 DNA Recombinase Sites for the Functional Characterization of Protein Variants

Project description:The Bxb1 bacteriophage serine DNA recombinase is an efficient tool for engineering recombinant DNA into the genomes of cultured cells. Generally, a single engineered “landing pad” site is introduced into the cell genome, permitting the integration of transgenic circuits or libraries of transgene variants. While sufficient for many studies, the extent of genetic manipulation possible with a single recombinase site is limiting, and insufficient for more complex cell-based assays for protein function. Here, we harnessed two orthogonal Bxb1 recombinase sites to enable new avenues for mammalian synthetic biology. By designing plasmids with two recombinase sites, we demonstrate that we can avoid genomic integration of undesirable bacterial DNA elements. We also created “double landing pad” cells simultaneously harboring two orthogonal Bxb1 recombinase sites. These cells allow transgenic protein variant libraries to be readily paired with assay-specific protein partners or biosensors, opening up new functional readouts for large-scale functional assays.

Redesign of an Escherichia coli Nissle treatment for phenylketonuria using insulated genomic landing pads and genetic circuits to reduce burden

Project description:To build therapeutic strains, Escherichia coli Nissle (EcN) have been engineered to express antibiotics, toxin-degrading enzymes, immunoregulators, and anti-cancer chemotherapies. For efficacy, the recombinant genes need to be highly expressed, but this imposes a burden on the cell, and plasmids are difficult to maintain in the body. To address these problems, we have developed landing pads in the EcN genome and genetic circuits to control therapeutic gene expression. These tools were applied to EcN SYNB1618, undergoing clinical trials as a phenylketonuria treatment. The pathway for converting phenylalanine to trans-cinnamic acid was moved to a landing pad under the control of a circuit that keeps the pathway off during storage. The resulting strain (EcN SYN8784) achieved higher activity than EcN SYNB1618, reaching levels near when the pathway is carried on a plasmid. This work demonstrates a simple system for engineering EcN that aids quantitative strain design for therapeutics.

Pin1 is required for sustained B cell proliferation upon oncogenic activation of Myc

Project description:The c-myc proto-oncogene is activated by translocation in Burkitt's lymphoma and substitutions in codon 58 stabilize the Myc protein or augment its oncogenic potential. In wild-type Myc, phosphorylation of Ser 62 and Thr 58 provide a landing pad for the peptidyl prolyl-isomerase Pin1, which in turn promotes Ser 62 dephosphorylation and Myc degradation. However, the role of Pin1 in Myc-induced lymphomagenesis remains unknown. We show here that genetic ablation of Pin1 reduces lymphomagenesis in EÂµ-myc transgenic mice. In both Pin1-deficient B-cells and MEFs, the proliferative response to Myc was selectively impaired, with no alterations in Myc-induced apoptosis or mitogen-induced cell cycle entry. This proliferative defect wasn't attributable to alterations in either Ser 62 phosphorylation or Myc-regulated transcription, but to the indirect activation of an Arf-p53 dependent cytostatic response. Pin1 silencing in lymphomas retarded disease progression in mice, making Pin1 an attractive therapeutic target in Myc-driven tumors. RNAseq samples of Pin1+/+ control (n=4), Pin1 -/- control (n=2), Pin1+/+ EÂµ-myc pre-tumoral (n=3), and Pin1-/- EÂµ-myc pre-tumoral (n=4) B cells.

Multiplex genome-editing in Arabidopsis thaliana using Mb3Cas12a

Project description:The use of CRISPR/Cas proteins for the creation of multiplex genome-engineering represents an important avenue for crop improvement, and further improvements for creation of knock-in plant lines via CRISPR-based technologies may enable the high-throughput creation of designer alleles. To circumvent limitations of the commonly used CRISPR/Cas9 system for multiplex genome-engineering, we explored the use of Moraxella bovoculi 3 Cas12a (Mb3Cas12a) for multiplex genome-editing in Arabidopsis thaliana. We identified optimized promoter sequences for driving expression of single transcript multiplex crRNA arrays in A. thaliana, resulting in stable germline transmission of Mb3Cas12a-edited alleles at multiple target sites. By utilizing this system, we demonstrate single-transcript multiplexed genome-engineering using of up to 13 crRNA targets. We further show high target specificity of Mb3Cas12a-based genome-editing via whole-genome sequencing. Taken together, our method provides a simplified platform for efficient multiplex-genome-engineering in plant-based systems.

Optimized design of antisense oligomers for targeted rRNA depletion

Project description:RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become a standard method for quantifying gene expression transcriptome-wide. Due to the extremely high proportion of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in total RNA, sequencing libraries usually incorporate messenger RNA (mRNA) enrichment. Although polyadenylate (poly(A)) tail selection is widely used, many applications require alternate approaches such as rRNA depletion. Recently, selective rRNA digestion, using RNaseH and antisense DNA oligomers that tile the length of target RNAs, has emerged as an easy, cost-effective alternative to commercial rRNA depletion kits. Here, we present a streamlined RNaseH-mediated rRNA depletion method that uses shorter antisense oligos that only sparsely tile the target RNA, in a digestion reaction of only 5 minutes. We wrote a Web tool, Oligo-ASST, that simplifies oligo design to favor target regions with optimal thermodynamic properties, and additionally allows users to design common oligo pools that can simultaneously target divergent RNAs in their regions of higher sequence similarity. We demonstrate the efficacy of these oligos by building rRNA-depleted sequencing libraries for Xenopus laevis as well as zebrafish, which expresses two distinct versions of the 28S, 18S, 5.8S, and 5S rRNAs during embryogenesis. These libraries efficiently deplete rRNA to <5% of total reads, on par with poly(A) selection, and also reveal expression of many non-adenylated RNA species. Oligo-ASST is freely available at https://mtleelab.pitt.edu/oligo to design antisense oligos for any taxon or to target any abundant RNA for depletion.
