Project description:Adenine and cytosine base editors (ABEs and CBEs) represent a new genome editing technology that allows the programmable installation of A-to-G or C-to-T alterations on DNA. We engineered Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9-based adenine and cytosine base editor (SpACE) that enables efficient simultaneous introduction of A-to-G and C-to-T substitutions in the same base editing window on DNA.

Project description:Even the latest generation of base editor (BE3) causes unwanted indels and non-C-to-T substitutions, compromising the fidelity of base editing outcome. Here we report a enhanced base editing system. The enhanced base edting system decreased the formation of unintended indels and C-to-A/C-to-G substitutions, and increased the frequency of desired C-to-T substitution, thereby improving both the accuracy and efficiency of base editing.

Project description:The targeting range of CRISPR-Cas9 base editors (BEs) is limited by their G/C-rich PAM sequences. To overcome this limitation, we developed a CRISPR/Cpf1-based BE by fusing the rat cytosine deaminase APOBEC1 to a catalytically inactive version of Lachnospiraceae bacterium Cpf1. The base editor recognizes a T-rich PAM sequence and converts C to T in human cells with low levels of indels, non-C-to-T substitutions and off-target editing.

Project description:Prime editor (PE) is a precise genome-editing tool capable of all possible base conversions, as well as insertions and deletions without DSBs or donor DNA. The efficient delivery of PE in vivo is critical for realizing its full potential in disease modeling and therapeutic correction. Although PE has been divided into two halves and delivered using dual adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), editing efficiency at different gene loci varies among split sites, and efficient split sites within Cas9 nickase are limited. In this study, by screening multiple split sites, we demonstrated a series of efficient split site when delivering PE by dual-AAV. Additionally, we utilized a feature reported by others recently that RNase could be detached from the Cas9n and designed split sites in the first half of Cas9n. To test the editing efficiency in vivo, a novel dual-AAV split-ePE3 was packaged in AAV9 and delivered via tail vein injection in mice, achieving 24.4% precise genome editing 3 weeks post-injection. Our findings establish an alternative split-PE architecture that could achieve robust gene editing efficiency, facilitating the potential utility both in model organisms and as a therapeutic modality.

Project description:CRISPR-Cas base editor technology enables targeted nucleotide alterations and is being rapidly deployed for research and potential therapeutic applications. The most widely used base editors induce DNA cytosine (C) deamination with rat APOBEC1 (rAPOBEC1) enzyme, which is targeted by a linked Cas protein-guide RNA (gRNA) complex. Previous studies of cytosine base editor (CBE) specificity have identified off-target DNA edits in human cells. Here we show that a CBE with rAPOBEC1 can cause extensive transcriptome-wide RNA cytosine deamination in human cells, inducing tens of thousands of C-to-uracil (U) edits with frequencies ranging from 0.07% to 100% in 38% - 58% of expressed genes. CBE-induced RNA edits occur in both protein-coding and non-protein-coding sequences and generate missense, nonsense, splice site, 5’ UTR, and 3’ UTR mutations. We engineered two CBE variants bearing rAPOBEC1 mutations that substantially decrease the numbers of RNA edits (reductions of >390-fold and >3,800-fold) in human cells. These variants also showed more precise on-target DNA editing and, with the majority of gRNAs tested, editing efficiencies comparable to those observed with wild-type CBE. Finally, we show that recently described adenine base editors (ABEs) can also induce transcriptome-wide RNA edits. These results have important implications for the research and therapeutic uses of base editors, illustrate the feasibility of engineering improved variants with reduced RNA editing activities, and suggest the need to more fully define and characterize the RNA off-target effects of deaminase enzymes in base editor platforms.

Project description:Current base editors use DNA deaminases, including cytidine deaminase in cytidine base editor (CBE) or adenine deaminase in adenine base editor (ABE), to facilitate transition nucleotide substitutions. Combining CBE or ABE with glycosylase enzymes can induce limited transversion mutations. Nonetheless, a critical demand remains for base editors capable of generating alternative mutation types, such as T>G corrections. In this study, we leveraged pre-trained protein language models to optimize a uracil-N-glycosylase (UNG) variant with altered specificity for thymines (eTDG). Notably, after two rounds of testing fewer than 50 top-ranking variants, more than 50% exhibited over 1.5-fold enhancement in enzymatic activities. When eTDG was fused with nCas9, it induced programmable T-to-S (G/C) substitutions and corrected db/db diabetic mutation in mice (up to 55%). Our findings not only establish orthogonal strategies for developing novel base editors, but also demonstrate the capacities of protein language models for optimizing enzymes without extensive task-specific training data.

Project description:We aimed to explore the application of the Target-AID base editor in genomic in situ protein engineering by generating nonsynonymous mutations. A general transcription factor Spt15 (TATA-box binding protein) gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was selected as a target. Based on computational and experimental scanning mutagenesis of the Spt15 gene as well as flask-fermentation screening, three stress-tolerant Spt15 mutant strains (A140G, P169A and R238K) and two stress-sensitive Spt15 mutant strains (S118L and L214V) were obtained. To validate the regulatory mechanisms underlying these different Spt15 mutants, genome-wide transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing was carried out to quantify global transcription changes in the Spt15 mutant strains compared to the wild type strain at the same culture conditions including the unstressed normal condition as well as hyperosmotic and thermal stress conditions. Results uncover the impacts of the Spt15 point mutations on global transcriptional regulation in response to hyperosmotic and thermal stresses, and provide insight into the applicability of the Target-AID base editor in genomic in situ protein engineering to alter yeast stress tolerance.
