Efficient suppression of premature termination codons with alanine by engineered chimeric pyrrolysine tRNAs

ABSTRACT: Mutations that introduce premature termination codons (PTCs) within protein-coding genes are associated with incurable and severe genetic diseases. Many PTC-associated disorders are life-threatening and have no approved medical treatment options. Suppressor transfer RNAs (sup-tRNAs) with the capacity to promote translational readthrough of PTCs represent a promising therapeutic strategy to treat these conditions; however, developing novel sup-tRNAs with high efficiency and specificity often requires extensive engineering and screening. Moreover, these efforts are not always successful at producing more efficient sup-tRNAs. Here we show that a pyrrolysine tRNA (tRNAPyl), which naturally translates the UAG stop codon, offers an attractive scaffold for developing effective sup-tRNAs that restore protein synthesis from PTC-containing genes. We created a series of rationally designed Pyrrolysine tRNA Scaffold Suppressor-tRNAs (PASS-tRNAs) that are substrates of bacterial and human alanyl-tRNA synthetase. Using a PTC-containing fluorescent reporter gene, PASS-tRNAs restore protein synthesis to wild-type levels in bacterial cells. In human cells, PASS-tRNAs display robust and consistent PTC suppression in multiple reporter genes, including pathogenic mutations in the tumor suppressor gene BRCA1 associated with breast and ovarian cancer. Moreover, PTC suppression occurred with high codon specificity and no observed cytotoxic effects. Collectively, these results unveil a class of sup-tRNAs with great potential for tRNA-based therapeutics.

Efficient suppression of premature termination codons with alanine by engineered chimeric pyrrolysine tRNAs [Ribo-Seq]

Engineered tRNAs suppress nonsense mutations in cells and in vivo

Project description:we introduce a strategy to repurpose sense-codon decoding tRNA into efficient suppressors of the three nonsense mutation-induced PTCs (UGA, UAG and UAA). The suppressor tRNAs restore function of a model and disease-related protein

AAV-delivered suppressor tRNA overcomes a nonsense mutation in mice (ribosome profiling)

Project description:In this study, we utilized a mouse model of mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS-I) carrying a homozygous nonsense mutation in the Idua gene (Idua-W401X, TGG→TAG) to develop rAAV-delivered sup-tRNA therapeutics that can overcome a pathogenic UAG premature termination codon (PTC).

Engineered transfer RNAs for suppression of premature termination codons

Project description:PTCs cause a multitude of human diseases and there are no established therapeutic options for their therapeutic management. Herein, we report the high-throughput cloning and identification, characterization and functional analysis of anticodon-edited tRNA which display efficacious PTC reversion in eukaryotic cells and mouse skeletal muscle. Notably, our screen identifies ACE-tRNA, in total, with the potential to repair a vast majority of known human disease-causing PTC, but this therapeutic will require overcoming tissue and delivery specific challenges. However, the engineered tRNA, once delivered, faithfully encode their cognate amino acid, thus abrogating spurious effects on downstream protein stability, folding, and trafficking, and consequently negating the need for tandem therapies involving protein folding or trafficking agents. When transfected as cDNA, ACE-tRNAs rescued multiple full-length proteins via PTC suppression; a NLuc luciferase reporter, a model protein HDH, and two disease nonsense mutations in CFTR.

Near-cognate tRNAs increase the efficiency and precision of pseudouridine-mediated readthrough of premature termination codons [RNA-seq]

Project description:Nonsense mutations, responsible for ~11% of genetic diseases, create premature stop codons (PTCs) and lead to truncated and often non-functional proteins. Recently, programmable RNA pseudouridylation has emerged as a new type of RNA base editor to suppress PTCs. However, current methods suffer from low efficiency and limited precision. Here, we develop RESTART v3, an updated version of RESTART, which utilizes near-cognate tRNAs to improve the readthrough efficiency of pseudouridine-modified PTCs. We show an average of ~5-fold higher editing efficiency than RESTART v2 in cultured cells, currently the most active RNA pseudouridylation tool to mediate PTC readthrough. Moreover, RESTART v3 achieves functional PTC readthrough in disease cell models of cystic fibrosis and Hurler syndrome. Furthermore, RESTART v3 enables accurate incorporation of the original amino acid for nearly half of the PTC sites, considering the naturally occurring frequencies of sense to nonsense codons. In line with the benign off-target effect of RESTART, RESTART v3 does not change the coding information nor the expression level of transcripts with off-target editing; except for the specifically overexpressed tRNA molecule, it does not alter the expression level of endogenous tRNA pool. Overall, RESTART v3 represents an enhanced RNA base editor with increased efficiency and accuracy.
