Genome editing mediated by SpCas9 variants with broad non-canonical PAM compatibility in plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) is the most widely used genome editing tool in plants. The induced by SpCas9 strictly requires a canonical NGG protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM), significantly limiting its scope of application. Recently, five variants, SpCas9-NRRH, SpCas9-NRCH, SpCas9-NRTH, SpG, and SpRY, were developed to recognize non-canonical PAMs human cells. In this study, these variants engineered for plant editing, their targeted mutagenesis capabilities comprehensively examined at various PAM sites rice (Oryza sativa) stable transformation. Moreover, both cytosine base editors using rat APOBEC1 or APOBEC3a adenine directly evolved highly compatible TadA?-8e deaminase from variants. Our results demonstrated that variants-based readily generated conversions between C?G T?A target with transgenic lines. Collectively, toolbox study substantially expands SpCas9-mediated will greatly facilitate gene disruption precise

Efficient Genome Editing of a Facultative Thermophile Using Mesophilic spCas9
Well-developed genetic tools for thermophilic microorganisms are scarce, despite their industrial and scientific relevance. Whereas highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing is on the rise in prokaryotes, it has never been employed in a thermophile. Here, we apply Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (spCas9)-based genome editing to a moderate thermophile, i.e., Bacillus smithii, including a gen...
متن کاملHighly specific targeted mutagenesis in plants using Staphylococcus aureus Cas9
The CRISPR/Cas9 system is an efficient and convenient tool for genome editing in plants. Cas9 nuclease derived from Streptococcus pyogenes (Sp) is commonly used in this system. Recently, Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 (SaCas9)-mediated genome editing was reported in human cells and Arabidopsis. Because SaCas9 (1053 a.a.) is smaller than SpCas9 (1368 a.a.), SaCas9 could have substantial advantages f...
متن کاملGenome editing with engineered nucleases in plants.
Numerous examples of successful 'genome editing' now exist. Genome editing uses engineered nucleases as powerful tools to target specific DNA sequences to edit genes precisely in the genomes of both model and crop plants, as well as a variety of other organisms. The DNA-binding domains of zinc finger (ZF) proteins were the first to be used as genome editing tools, in the form of designed ZF nuc...
متن کاملGenome Editing Tools in Plants
Genome editing tools have the potential to change the genomic architecture of a genome at precise locations, with desired accuracy. These tools have been efficiently used for trait discovery and for the generation of plants with high crop yields and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Due to complex genomic architecture, it is challenging to edit all of the genes/genomes using a particul...
متن کاملAntiviral Defenses in Plants through Genome Editing
Plant-virus interactions based-studies have contributed to increase our understanding on plant resistance mechanisms, providing new tools for crop improvement. In the last two decades, RNA interference, a post-transcriptional gene silencing approach, has been used to induce antiviral defenses in plants with the help of genetic engineering technologies. More recently, the new genome editing syst...
