Project description:Characterisation IER3-AS1 interacting proteins using chromatin oligo-affinity precipitation (ChOP) followed by mass spectrometry. The HeLa cell lysates was incubated with biotinylated antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), targeting an experimental target antisense long noncoding RNA IER3-AS1 or a control RNA LacZ. LacZ and IER3-AS1 interacting proteomes were pulldown using Streptavidin beads. The eluted protein samples from both LacZ control ASOs and IER3-AS1 ASOs subjected to mass-spectrometry analyses to identify IER3-AS1 interacting proteins.

Project description:Targeted genome editing by artificial nucleases has brought the goal of site-specific transgene integration and gene correction within the reach of gene therapy. However, its application to long-term repopulating haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has remained elusive. Here we show that poor permissiveness to gene transfer and limited proficiency of the homology-directed DNA repair pathway constrain gene targeting in human HSCs. By tailoring delivery platforms and culture conditions we overcame these barriers and provide stringent evidence of targeted integration in human HSCs by long-term multilineage repopulation of transplanted mice. We demonstrate the therapeutic potential of our strategy by targeting a corrective complementary DNA into the IL2RG gene of HSCs from healthy donors and a subject with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1). Gene-edited HSCs sustained normal haematopoiesis and gave rise to functional lymphoid cells that possess a selective growth advantage over those carrying disruptive IL2RG mutations. These results open up new avenues for treating SCID-X1 and other diseases.

Project description:We hypothesized that specific proteins associate with Tnp mRNAs to suppress or stimulate their translation. We took a proteomics approach and developed a method to isolate endogenous mRNA species and their associated proteins. We employed biotinylated DNA oligonucleotides and avidin resin to capture endogenous Tnp mRNAs and associated molecules from testis extract, and we specifically eluted the complexes with non-biotinylated oligonucleotides. We then used mass spectrometry to identify proteins that were associated with the Tnp1 and Tnp2 mRNAs but not Actin mRNAs. We hypothesize that the proteins that are specifically enriched by Tnp1 and Tnp2 mRNA pulldowns relative to Actin mRNA pulldown may function to regulate these transcripts.

Project description:The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an important model organism for basic as well as applied bio-medical research. One main advantage is its genetic tractability, which was greatly enhanced by the introduction of the CRISPR/Cas method a decade ago. The generation of loss-of-function alleles via the production of small insertions or deletions in the coding sequences of genes with CRISPR/Cas systems is now routinely achieved with high efficiency. The method is based on the error prone repair of precisely targeted DNA double strand breaks by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) in the cell nucleus. However, editing the genome with base pair precision, by homology-directed repair (HDR), is by far less efficient and therefore often requires large-scale screening of potential carriers by labour intensive genotyping. Here we confirm that the Cas9 protein variant SpRY, with relaxed PAM requirement, can be used to target some sites in the zebrafish genome. In addition, we demonstrate that the incorporation of an artificial nuclear localisation signal (aNLS) into the Cas9 protein variants not only enhances the efficiency of gene knockout but also the frequency of HDR, thereby facilitating the efficient modification of single base pairs in the genome. Our protocols provide a guide for a cost-effective generation of versatile and potent Cas9 protein variants and efficient gene editing in zebrafish.

Project description:Comparing two approaches of miR-34a target identification, biotinylated-miRNA pulldown vs miRNA overexpression
| PRJNA524346 | ENA
Project description:Here we show that biotin-labelled miR-34a can be loaded to AGO2, and AGO2 immunoprecipitation can pulldown biotinylated miR-34a (Bio-miR pulldown). RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of the Bio-miR pulldown RNAs efficiently identified miR-34a mRNA targets, which could be verified with luciferase assays. In contrast to the approach of Bio-miR pulldown, RNA-seq of miR-34a overexpression samples had limited value in identifying direct targets of miR-34a. It seems that pulldown of 30 -Biotin-tagged miRNA can identify bona fide microRNA targets at least for miR34a.

Project description:The ability to rationally target disease-causing mutations has been made possible with programmable nucleases with the CRISPR/Cas9 system representing a facile platform for individualized gene-based medicine. In this study we employed footprint free reprogramming of fibroblasts from a patient with mutations to the Fanconi anemia I (FANCI) gene to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). This process was accomplished without gene complementation and the resultant iPSC were able to be gene corrected in a robust manner using the Cas9 nickase. The self-renewing iPSC that were maintained under feeder free conditions were differentiated into cells with characteristics of definitive hematopoiesis. This defined and highly efficient procedure employed small molecule modulation of the hematopoietic differentiation pathway and a vascular induction technique to generate hematopoietic progenitors. In sum, our results demonstrate the ability to induce patient derived FA cells to pluripotency for patient specific therapeutic cell derivation.

Project description:Genetic modification, including plant breeding, has been widely used to improve crop yield and quality, as well as to increase disease resistance. Targeted genome engineering is expected to contribute significantly to future varietal improvement, and genome editing technologies using zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9/single guide RNA (sgRNA) have already been successfully used to genetically modify plants. However, to date, there has been no reported use of any of the current genome editing approaches in sweet orange, an important fruit crop. In this study, we first developed a novel tool, Xcc-facilitated agroinfiltration, for enhancing transient protein expression in sweet orange leaves. We then successfully employed Xcc-facilitated agroinfiltration to deliver Cas9, along with a synthetic sgRNA targeting the CsPDS gene, into sweet orange. DNA sequencing confirmed that the CsPDS gene was mutated at the target site in treated sweet orange leaves. The mutation rate using the Cas9/sgRNA system was approximately 3.2 to 3.9%. Off-target mutagenesis was not detected for CsPDS-related DNA sequences in our study. This is the first report of targeted genome modification in citrus using the Cas9/sgRNA system-a system that holds significant promise for the study of citrus gene function and for targeted genetic modification.

Project description:UnlabelledThe clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system, an RNA-guided nuclease for specific genome editing in vivo, has been adopted in a wide variety of organisms. In contrast, the in vitro application of the CRISPR/Cas9 system has rarely been reported. We present here a highly efficient in vitro CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing (ICE) system that allows specific refactoring of biosynthetic gene clusters in Streptomyces bacteria and other large DNA fragments. Cleavage by Cas9 of circular pUC18 DNA was investigated here as a simple model, revealing that the 3'?5' exonuclease activity of Cas9 generates errors with 5 to 14 nucleotides (nt) randomly missing at the editing joint. T4 DNA polymerase was then used to repair the Cas9-generated sticky ends, giving substantial improvement in editing accuracy. Plasmid pYH285 and cosmid 10A3, harboring a complete biosynthetic gene cluster for the antibiotics RK-682 and holomycin, respectively, were subjected to the ICE system to delete the rkD and homE genes in frame. Specific insertion of the ampicillin resistance gene (bla) into pYH285 was also successfully performed. These results reveal the ICE system to be a rapid, seamless, and highly efficient way to edit DNA fragments, and a powerful new tool for investigating and engineering biosynthetic gene clusters.ImportanceRecent improvements in cloning strategies for biosynthetic gene clusters promise rapid advances in understanding and exploiting natural products in the environment. For manipulation of such biosynthetic gene clusters to generate valuable bioactive compounds, efficient and specific gene editing of these large DNA fragments is required. In this study, a highly efficient in vitro DNA editing system has been established. When combined with end repair using T4 DNA polymerase, Cas9 precisely and seamlessly catalyzes targeted editing, including in-frame deletion or insertion of the gene(s) of interest. This in vitro CRISPR editing (ICE) system promises a step forward in our ability to engineer biosynthetic pathways.

Project description:Development of tools for targeted genome editing and regulation of gene expression has significantly expanded our ability to elucidate the mechanisms of interesting biological phenomena and to engineer desirable biological systems. Recent rapid progress in the study of a clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) protein system in bacteria has facilitated the development of newly facile and programmable platforms for genome editing and transcriptional control in a sequence-specific manner. The core RNA-guided Cas9 endonuclease in the type II CRISPR system has been harnessed to realize gene mutation and DNA deletion and insertion, as well as transcriptional activation and repression, with multiplex targeting ability, just by customizing 20-nucleotide RNA components. Here we describe the molecular basis of the type II CRISPR/Cas system and summarize applications and factors affecting its utilization in model organisms. We also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Cas9-based tools in comparison with widely used customizable tools, such as Zinc finger nucleases and transcription activator-like effector nucleases.
