Project description:Human cancer cell lines indicated in the file names, with stably overexpressed Cas9 nuclease, were transfected with (C) control sgRNA or (P) TP53-specific sgRNA, (K) KRAS-specific sgRNA or (M) CMYC-specific sgRNA. Each experiment was done by transfection of sgRNA pair - control (C) or causing a NHEJ-mediated knock-out of the target genes (P, K or M). Samples for proteomics were collected 48h post sgRNA transfection without selection, in three biological replicates each (indicated with numbers 1-3). In cell lines with three activated oncogenes, three separate oncogene-targeting transfections were carried out.
Project description:Analysis of sgRNA sequences in the raw library and at different time points after transfection into S2R+ cells Two biological repeats of all samples at three timepoints post transfection, with three dilutions of library transfected.
Project description:By a robust unbiased ChIP-seq approach, we demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9 had crRNA-specific off-target binding activities in human genome. However, most of those binding off-targets could not be efficiently cleaved both in vivo and in vitro which suggested the cleavage off-target activity of CRISPR/Cas9 in human genome is very limited. We provided a valuable tool to further investigate the molecular mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9 and to optimize its in vivo targeting sgRNA binding sites were identified with ChipSeq by using GFP antibody (there are 2 replicates for egfa-t1 sgRNA,emx1 sgRNA and control without sgRNA in Hek293T cells, one egfa-t1 sgRNA,emx1 sgRNA and control without sgRNA in HeLaS3 cells)
Project description:Cas9 expressing eHAP cells were transfected with sgRNA against TFDP1. 5 days after the transfection, polyA RNA was analyzed by RNA-seq
Project description:This dataset contains whole-genome RNA sequencing results from rat embryonic striatal neuronal cultures and serves as the basis for characterization of multiplexed CRISPR/dCas9 gene activation of 16 genes induced by dopamine receptor activation. The goal of this experiment was to define the transcriptional response to multiplexed CRISPR-based upregulation of 16 dopamine-induced genes (Tent5b, Junb, Prox1, Nr4a2, Nptx1, Gsx1, Gadd45g, Btg2, Fosb, Nr4a1, Egr4, Fos, Sstr2, Gadd45b, Egr3, & Egr2), together termed "Dopaplex", as compared to a LacZ control sgRNA.
Project description:Electrophilic groups, such as Michael acceptors, expoxides, are common motifs in natural products (NPs). Electrophilic NPs can act through covalent modification of cysteinyl thiols on functional proteins, and exhibit potent cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory/cancer activities. Here we describe a new chemoproteomic strategy, termed multiplexed thiol reactivity profiling (MTRP), and its use in target discovery of electrophilic NPs. We demonstrate the utility of MTRP by identifying cellular targets of gambogic acid, an electrophilic NP that is currently under evaluation in clinical trials as anticancer agent. Moreover, MTRP enables simultaneous comparison of seven structurally diversified -unsaturated -lactones, which provides insights into the relative proteomic reactivity and target preference of diverse structural scaffolds coupled to a common electrophilic motif and reveals various potential druggable targets with liganded cysteines. We anticipate that this new method for thiol reactivity profiling in a multiplexed manner will find broad application in redox biology and drug discovery.

Project description:Tissue-specific gene expression requires coordinated control of gene-proximal and distal cis-regulatory elements (CREs), yet functional analysis of putative gene-distal CREs such as enhancers remains challenging. Here we describe enhanced CRISPR/dCas9-based epigenetic editing systems, enCRISPRa and enCRISPRi, for multiplexed analysis of enhancer function in situ and in vivo. Using dual effector proteins capable of re-writing enhancer-associated chromatin modifications, we show that enCRISPRa and enCRISPRi modulate gene transcription by remodeling local epigenetic landscapes at sgRNA-targeted enhancers and associated genes. Comparing with existing methods, our systems display more robust and specific perturbations of gene transcription with minimal off-targets. Allele-specific targeting of enCRISPRa to oncogenic TAL1 super-enhancer modulates TAL1 expression and cancer progression in xenotransplants. Furthermore, multiplexed perturbations of lineage-specific enhancers in an enCRISPRi knock-in mouse establish in vivo evidence for lineage-restricted requirement of developmentally regulated enhancers during hematopoietic lineage specification. Hence, enhanced CRSIPR epigenetic editing provides opportunities for interrogating enhancer function in development and disease.
