Targeted DNA integration in human cells without double-strand breaks using CRISPR RNA-guided transposases

ABSTRACT: Traditional genome-editing reagents such as CRISPR-Cas9 achieve targeted DNA modification by introducing double-strand breaks (DSBs), thereby stimulating localized DNA repair by endogenous cellular repair factors. While highly effective at generating heterogenous knockout mutations, this approach suffers from undesirable byproducts and an inability to control product purity. Here we develop a system in human cells for programmable, DSB-free DNA integration using Type I CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs). To adapt our previously described CAST systems, we optimized DNA targeting by the QCascade complex through a comprehensive assessment of protein design, and we developed potent transcriptional activators by exploiting the multi-valent recruitment of the AAA+ ATPase, TnsC, to genomic sites targeted by QCascade. After initial detection of plasmid-based transposition, we screened 15 homologous CAST systems from a wide range of bacterial hosts, identified a CAST homolog from Pseudoalteromonas that exhibited improved activity, and increased integration efficiencies through parameter optimization. We further discovered that bacterial ClpX enhances genomic integration by multiple orders of magnitude, and we propose that this critical accessory factor functions to drive active disassembly of the post-transposition CAST complex, akin to its demonstrated role in Mu transposition. Our work highlights the ability to functionally reconstitute complex, multi-component machineries in human cells, and establishes a strong foundation to realize the full potential of CRISPR-associated transposons for human genome engineering.

Rapid cell-free characterization of multi-subunit CRISPR effectors and transposons

Project description:We report the PAMs of diverse type I-E CRISPR- Cas systems and the type I-C and the type I-F1 CRISPR-Cas systems from Xanthomonas albilineans. Furthermore, we report PAMs of two type I-B CRISPR transposons (CASTs) and the Vibrio cholerae type I-F CAST. For identification of the PAMs, we used a cell-free TXTL-based PAM screen we named PAM-DETECT. By adding a 5N randomized PAM library and plasmids encoding for Cascade genes and gRNAs, recognized PAMs were bound by Cascade and protected from cleavage by a restriction enzyme that has it's recognition site within the target region. By amplifying the non-cleaved target plasmid, we used next-generation sequencing to analyze the enrichment of functional PAMs of the studied CRISPR-Cas systems. We additionally assessed the insertion sites of crRNA-dependent and crRNA-independent transposition of the Rippkaea orientalis type I-B CAST in TXTL and E. coli.

Selective recruitment of the AAA+ ATPase TnsC increases the fidelity of Type I-F CRISPR RNA-guided transposition

Project description:Bacterial transposons are pervasive mobile genetic elements that exploit distinct DNA binding proteins for their horizontal spread. For example, E. coli Tn7 homes to a specific attachment site using a TniQ family protein, whereas diverse Tn7-like transposons employ Type I or Type V CRISPR-Cas systems to insert downstream of target sites specified by a guide RNA. Despite this targeting pathway diversity, transposition invariably requires TnsB, a DDE superfamily transposase that catalyses DNA excision and insertion, and TnsC, a AAA+ ATPase that is thought to communicate between the transposase and targeting proteins. How TnsC mediates this communication and thereby regulates transposition fidelity has remained elusive. Here we apply chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) to monitor in vivo formation of the Vibrio cholerae RNA-guided transpososome, allowing us to unambiguously resolve distinct protein recruitment events prior to integration. DNA targeting by the TniQ-Cascade complex is surprisingly promiscuous, leading to binding at hundreds of genomic off-target sites, but only a subset of those sites are licensed for TnsC and TnsB recruitment, revealing a crucial proofreading checkpoint that controls transposition fidelity. To advance the mechanistic understanding of interactions responsible for transpososome assembly, we analysed V. cholerae TnsC by cryo-EM and found that TnsC forms ATP-dependent heptameric rings, which are likely to play a critical architectural role in positioning DNA substrates for downstream integration. Collectively, our results highlight the molecular specificity imparted by consecutive binding of distinct factors to genomic target sites during RNA-guided transposition, and provide a structural roadmap to guide future engineering efforts.

ClpX, activated by SSB, is required for DNA replication in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:The ClpP1P2 proteolytic complex is essential in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). ClpP1P2 mediated proteolysis by ClpP1P2 requires an associated ATPase, either ClpX or ClpC1. Here, we seek to define the unique contributions of the ClpX ATPase to mycobacterial growth. We formally demonstrate that ClpX is essential for mycobacterial growth and to understand its essential functions, we identify ClpX-His-interacting proteins by pulldown and tandem mass spectrometry. We find an unexpected association between ClpX and proteins involved in DNA replication, and confirm a physical association between ClpX and the essential DNA maintenance protein Single-Stranded DNA Binding protein (SSB). Although pure SSB is not degraded by ClpXP1P2, it instead enhances ATPase hydrolysis by ClpX and degradation of the model substrate GFP-SsrA by ClpXP1P2. This activation of ClpX is mediated by the C-terminal tail of SSB that had previously been implicated in the activation of other ATPases associated with DNA replication. Consistent with the predicted interactions, depletion of ClpX perturbs DNA replication. These data reveal that ClpX serves a necessary function in DNA replication and identify the first activator of ClpX in mycobacteria.

Microarray analysis of mouse skeletal muscle atrophied by a plaster cast

Project description:Muscle atrophy is associated with aging (sarcopenia) and chronic unloading (such as bed confinement and immobilization with casts), as well as various pathological conditions such as type 1 diabetes and nerve injury (denervation). The hindlimb skeletal muscles of C57BL/6 mice (9 weeks old, male) were immobilized (unloaded) by a plaster cast. After 11 days, skeletal muscle was collected and RNA extracted. Expression of Dnmt3a was reduced while expression of Gdf5 was increased by plaster cast immobilization compared to age-matched control mice.

Global Mapping of Transposon Location

Project description:Transposable genetic elements are ubiquitous, yet their presence or absence at any given position within a genome can vary between individual cells, tissues, or strains. Transposable elements have profound impacts on host genomes by altering gene expression, assisting in genomic rearrangements, causing insertional mutations, and serving as sources of phenotypic variation. Characterizing a genome?s full complement of transposons requires whole genome sequencing, precluding simple studies of the impact of transposition on interindividual variation. Here, we describe a global mapping approach for identifying transposon locations in any genome, using a combination of transposon-specific DNA extraction and microarray- based comparative hybridization analysis. We use this approach to map the repertoire of endogenous transposons in different laboratory strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and demonstrate that transposons are a source of extensive genomic variation. We also apply this method to mapping bacterial transposon insertion sites in a yeast genomic library. This unique whole genome view of transposon location will facilitate our exploration of transposon dynamics, as well as defining bases for individual differences and adaptive potential.

Chemical cross-linking enables drafting ClpXP proximity maps and taking snapshots of in vivo interaction networks

Project description:Protein-protein interactions within complexes and networks are often dynamic and their elucidation remains a challenging task. Here, we show on the example of the proteolytic ClpXP complex the power of combined chemical cross-linking and mass-spectrometry to capture transient binding interactions within ClpP and ClpX as well as across the enigmatic ClpX hexamer – ClpP heptamer interface. Our data suggests that a few hot spot lysine residues located in signature loops in ClpX mediate the ClpX-ClpP interaction. This study further confirms that Listeria monocytogenes ClpX solely interacts with the heterooligomeric ClpP1/2 complex via the ClpP2 apical site. Moreover, the cellular interaction network of human and bacterial proteases was elucidated via in situ chemical cross-linking followed by an antibody-based pull-down against ClpP from genetically unmodified cells. A subsequent gel-free, quantitative mass spectrometric analysis demonstrated an up to 3-fold higher coverage compared to conventional co-immunoprecipitation without cross-linker revealing unprecedented insight into intracellular ClpXP networks.

Comparison of the transcription profile of B. subtilis clpX strain with B. subtilis clpX spx strain, reporting on Spx activity

Project description:In B. subtilis the unusual transcription factor Spx controls the thiol stress response regulon (Nakano et al 2003 PNAS 100:13603; Rochat et a. 2012 NAR 40:9751). Under normal growth conditions Spx is constantly degraded by the AAA+ protease complex ClpXP (Nakano et al 2001 MolMi 42:383). Comparing a B. subtilis clpX strain, where Spx levels are high, with a B. subtilis clpX spx double mutant strain which lacks Spx, will report on Spx dependent transcriptional control. We prepared total RNA of exponentially grown B. subtilis clpX and of B. subtilis clpX spx cells. Using a merged dye swap experiments of red or green labelled cDNA of the above described RNA preparations-
