Project description:Chromosomal rearrangements including large DNA-fragment inversions, deletions, and duplications by Cas9 with paired sgRNAs are important to investigate structural genome variations and developmental gene regulation, but little is known about the underlying mechanism. Here we report that disrupting CtIP or FANCD2, which is thought to function in NHEJ, enhances precise DNA-fragment deletion. In addition, by analyzing the inserted nucleotides at the junctions of DNA-fragment deletions, inversions, duplications, and characterizing the cleaved products, we find that Cas9 endonucleolytically cleaves the noncomplementary strand with a flexible scissile profile upstream of -3 position of the PAM site in vivo and in vitro, generating overhanged DSB ends. Moreover, we find that engineered Cas9 nucleases have distinct cleavage profiles. Finally, Cas9-mediated nucleotide insertions are nonrandom and are equal to the combined sequences upstream of both PAM sites with predicted frequencies. Thus, precise and predictable DNA-fragment editing could be achieved by perturbing DNA repair genes and using appropriate PAM configurations. These findings have important implications regarding 3D chromatin folding and enhancer insulation during gene regulation.

Project description:Adoptive transfer of T cells expressing a transgenic T cell receptor (TCR) has the potential to revolutionize immunotherapy of infectious diseases and cancer. However, the generation of defined TCR-transgenic T cell medicinal products with predictable in vivo function still poses a major challenge and limits broader and more successful application of this ‘living drug’. Here, by studying 51 different TCRs, we show that conventional genetic engineering by viral transduction leads to variable TCR expression and functionality as a result of variable transgene copy numbers and untargeted transgene integration. In contrast, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated TCR replacement enables defined, targeted TCR transgene insertion into the TCR gene locus. Thereby, T cell products display more homogenous TCR expression similar to physiological T cells. Importantly, increased T cell product homogeneity after targeted TCR gene editing correlates with predictable in vivo T cell responses, which represents a crucial aspect for clinical application in adoptive T cell immunotherapy.

Project description:Achieving a diverse repertoire of antigen receptors for effective adaptive immunity requires rearrangement of gene segments into unique combinations via V(D)J recombination. To illuminate precise mechanisms underlying this process, we combined biophysical simulations with experimental data to model chromatin folding and dynamics of the mouse immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (Igh) locus. Simulations that best recapitulated experimental data on locus structure and recombination of wild-type and mutated Igh alleles identified three novel chromatin folding principles. First, we found that prominent structural features of the Igh locus, such as the 3’-anchored stripe, required cohesin loading throughout the locus rather than at the stripe anchor. Second, the Eµ enhancer was best modeled as a bi-directional loop extrusion blocker though it does not bind the known extrusion blocker CTCF. Third, we found that utilization of VH genes to obtain maximum diversity required both widespread cohesin loading as well as long-range associations between H3K27ac-marked regions. Our findings provide a conceptual framework to understand chromatin folding principles that enable antibody diversity and reveal mechanisms of long-range genome communication.

Project description:A quantitative view of cellular functions requires precise measures of the rates of biomolecule production, especially proteins-the direct effectors of biological processes. Here we present a genome-wide approach, based on ribosome profiling, for measuring absolute protein synthesis rates. The resultant E. coli dataset transforms our understanding of the extent to which protein synthesis is precisely controlled to optimize function and efficiency. For example, members of multi-protein complexes are made in precise proportion to their stoichiometry, whereas components of functional modules are produced differentially according to their hierarchical role. Estimates of absolute protein abundance also reveal principles used to optimize design. These include how the level of different types of transcription factors is optimized for rapid response, and how a metabolic pathway (methionine biosynthesis) balances production cost with activity requirements. More broadly, our studies reveal how general principles, important both for understanding natural systems and for synthesizing new ones, emerge from global quantitative analyses of protein synthesis. 4 samples of E. coli ribosome profiling and mRNA-seq, including biological replicates

Project description:Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) control how genes respond to external signals, but the principles governing their structure and function remain poorly understood. While differential transcription factor binding is known to regulate gene expression, how CREs integrate the amount and combination of inputs to secure precise spatiotemporal profiles of gene expression remains unclear. Here, we developed a high-throughput combinatorial screening strategy, that we term NeMECiS , to investigate signal-dependent synthetic CREs (synCREs) in differentiating mammalian stem cells. By concatenating fragments of functional CREs from genes that respond to Sonic Hedgehog in the developing vertebrate neural tube, we found that CRE activity follows hierarchical design rules. While individual 200-base-pair fragments showed minimal activity, their combinations generated thousands of functional signal-responsive synCREs, many exceeding the activity of natural sequences. Statistical modelling revealed CRE function can be decomposed into specific quantitative contributions in which sequence fragments combine through a multiplicative rule, tuned by their relative positioning and spacing. These findings provide a predictive framework for CRE redesign, which we used to engineer synthetic CREs that alter the pattern of motor neuron differentiation in neural tissue. These findings establish quantitative principles for engineering synthetic regulatory elements with programmable signal responses to rewire genetic circuits and control stem cell differentiation, providing a basis for understanding developmental gene regulation and designing therapeutic gene expression systems.
