Harnessing CRISPR-Cas9 for Genome Editing in Streptococcus pneumoniae D39V
نویسندگان
چکیده
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is an important opportunistic human pathogen killing more than 1 million people each year. Having the availability of a system capable easy genome editing would significantly facilitate drug discovery and efforts to identify new vaccine candidates.

CRISPR/Cas9 in Genome Editing and Beyond.
The Cas9 protein (CRISPR-associated protein 9), derived from type II CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) bacterial immune systems, is emerging as a powerful tool for engineering the genome in diverse organisms. As an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease, Cas9 can be easily programmed to target new sites by altering its guide RNA sequence, and its development as a tool has ...
متن کاملEfficient Mitochondrial Genome Editing by CRISPR/Cas9
The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system has been widely used for nuclear DNA editing to generate mutations or correct specific disease alleles. Despite its flexible application, it has not been determined if CRISPR/Cas9, originally identified as a bacterial defense system against virus, can be targeted to mitochondria for mtDNA editing. Here, we show t...
متن کاملNovel Genome Editing With CRISPR-Cas9
There are 9 Let7 family members present in keratinocytes, all acting as translational suppressors of the same target mRNAs. This redundancy implies that Let7 is crucial to cellular functioning, and it has indeed been found to act as a tumor suppressor, down regulating functions such as proliferation, cell motility, and de-differentiation. I hypothesized that increasing loss of Let7 loci would l...
متن کاملHarnessing CRISPR-Cas systems for bacterial genome editing.
Manipulation of genomic sequences facilitates the identification and characterization of key genetic determinants in the investigation of biological processes. Genome editing via clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated (Cas) constitutes a next-generation method for programmable and high-throughput functional genomics. CRISPR-Cas systems are readily r...
متن کاملCRISPR-Cas9 Knockin Mice for Genome Editing and Cancer Modeling
CRISPR-Cas9 is a versatile genome editing technology for studying the functions of genetic elements. To broadly enable the application of Cas9 in vivo, we established a Cre-dependent Cas9 knockin mouse. We demonstrated in vivo as well as ex vivo genome editing using adeno-associated virus (AAV)-, lentivirus-, or particle-mediated delivery of guide RNA in neurons, immune cells, and endothelial c...
