A target expression threshold dictates invader defense and autoimmunity by CRISPR-Cas13 [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The study investigates how varying target expression levels influences self-targeting and defense using Cas13a. We see how immunity is activated only over a target transcription threshold, which is variable between targets. A gRNA library targeting transcripts from the whole coding genome of E. coli MG1655 confirms the importance of the transcription threshold in determining immunity and shows that most of the cellular transcripts do not induce cytotoxicity.

A target expression threshold dictates invader defense and prevents autoimmunity by CRISPR-Cas13.

Project description:CRISPR-Cas systems must enact robust immunity against foreign genetic material without inducing cytotoxic autoimmunity. For type VI systems that use Cas13 nucleases and recognize RNA targets, immune activation requires extensive CRISPR RNA (crRNA) guide-target complementarity and a target-flanking motif. Here, we report a third requirement shaping the immune response: the expression of the target transcript exceeding a threshold. We found that endogenous non-essential transcripts targeted by crRNAs rarely elicited autoimmunity. Instead, autoimmune induction required over-expressing the targeted transcripts above a threshold. A genome-wide screen confirmed target expression levels as a global determinant of cytotoxic autoimmunity and revealed that this threshold shifts with each guide-target pair. This threshold further ensured defense against a lytic bacteriophage yet allowed the tolerance of a targeted beneficial gene expressed from an invading plasmid. These findings establish target expression levels as an additional criterion for immune defense by RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas systems, preventing autoimmunity and distinguishing pathogenic and benign invaders.

Intrinsic RNA targeting constrains the utility of CRISPR-Cas13 systems [Screen]

Project description:CRISPR-Cas13 systems have been adapted as versatile toolkits for RNA-related applications. Here we systematically evaluate the performance of several prominent Cas13 family effectors (Cas13a, Cas13b and Cas13d) under lentiviral vectors and reveal surprisingly differential defects and characteristics of these systems. Using RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing, transcriptome profiling, biochemistry analysis and high-throughput CRISPR-Cas13 screening approaches, we determine that each Cas13 system has its intrinsic RNA targets in mammalian cells. Viral process-related host genes can be targeted by Cas13 and affect the production of fertile lentiviral particles, thereby restricting the utility of lentiviral Cas13 systems. Multiple RNase activities of Cas13 are involved in endogenous RNA targeting. Unlike target-induced collateral effect, intrinsic RNA targeting can be specific, target-independent and dynamically tuned by varied states of Cas13 nucleases. Our work not only provides guidance to appropriately utilize lentiviral Cas13 systems, but also raises cautions about intrinsic RNA targeting during Cas13-based basic and therapeutic applications.
