The prokaryotic antiviral defense systems CRISP R (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISP Rassociated) employs short crRNAs (CRISP R RNAs) to target invading viral nucleic acids. A short spacer sequence of these crRNAs can be derived from a viral genome and recognizes a reoccurring attack of a virus via base complementarity. We analyzed the effect of spacer sequences on the maturation of crRNAs of the subtype I-B Methanococcus maripaludis C5 CRISP R cluster. The responsible endonuclease, termed Cas6b, bound non-hydrolyzable repeat RNA as a dimer and mature crRNA as a monomer. Comparative analysis of Cas6b processing of individual spacer-repeat-spacer RNA substrates and crRNA stability revealed the potential influence of spacer sequence and length on these parameters. Correlation of these observations with the variable abundance of crRNAs visualized by deep-sequencing analyses is discussed. Finally, insertion of spacer and repeat sequences with archaeal poly-T termination signals is suggested to be prevented in archaeal CRISP R/Cas systems.  (+info)

CRISPR-Cas encodes an adaptive immune system that defends prokaryotes against infectious viruses and plasmids. Immunity is mediated by Cas nucleases, which use small RNA guides (the crRNAs) to specify a cleavage site within the genome of invading nucleic acids. In type II CRISPR-Cas systems, the DNA-cleaving activity is performed by a single enzyme Cas9 guided by an RNA duplex. Using synthetic single RNA guides, Cas9 can be reprogrammed to create specific double-stranded DNA breaks in the genomes of a variety of organisms, ranging from human cells to bacteria, and thus constitutes a powerful tool for genetic engineering. Here we describe recent advancements in our understanding of type II CRISPR-Cas immunity and how these studies led to revolutionary genome editing applications.. ...

Type II CRISPR-Cas systems use an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease, Cas9, to generate double strand breaks in invasive DNA during an adaptative bacterial immune response. Cas9 proteins are abundant across the bacterial kingdom, but vary widely in both sequence and size. All known Cas9 enzymes contain an HNH domain that cleaves the DNA strand complementary to the guide RNA sequence (target strand), and a RuvC nuclease domain required for cleaving the noncomplementary strand (non-target strand), yielding double strand DNA breaks (DSBs) [1,2]. The Cas9-type HNH nuclease domain contains a two-stranded antiparallel β sheet flanked by two α-helices on each side (see ,PDB:4CMP,) [1,2]. The profile we developed covers the entire Cas9-type HNH domain. Last update: March 2015 / ...
UNLABELLED: Bacterial genomes encode numerous homologs of Cas9, the effector protein of the type II CRISPR-Cas systems. The homology region includes the arginine-rich helix and the HNH nuclease domain that is inserted into the RuvC-like nuclease domain. These genes, however, are not linked to cas genes or CRISPR. Here, we show that Cas9 homologs represent a distinct group of nonautonomous transposons, which we denote ISC (insertion sequences Cas9-like). We identify many diverse families of full-length ISC transposons and demonstrate that their terminal sequences (particularly 3 termini) are similar to those of IS605 superfamily transposons that are mobilized by the Y1 tyrosine transposase encoded by the TnpA gene and often also encode the TnpB protein containing the RuvC-like endonuclease domain ...
To test whether heterologous expression of the CRISPR system (SpCas9, SpRNase III, tracrRNA, and pre-crRNA) can achieve targeted cleavage of mammalian chromosomes, we transfected 293FT cells with different combinations of CRISPR/Cas components. Because DSBs in mammalian DNA are partially repaired by the indel-forming nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, we used the SURVEYOR assay (fig. S3) to detect endogenous target cleavage (Fig. 1D and fig. S2B). Cotransfection of all four required CRISPR components resulted in efficient cleavage of the protospacer (Fig. 1D and fig. S2B), which was subsequently verified by Sanger sequencing (Fig. 1E). SpRNase III was not necessary for cleavage of the protospacer (Fig. 1D), and the 89-nt tracrRNA is processed in its absence (fig. S2C). Similarly, maturation of pre-crRNA does not require RNase III (Fig. 1D and fig. S4), suggesting that there may be endogenous mammalian RNases that assist in pre-crRNA maturation (24-26). Removing any of the remaining RNA or ...

Streptococcus pyogenes uses a type II CRISPR system in which a single endonuclease, Cas9 is necessary for RNA-directed cleavage of foreign dsDNA. Cas9 forms a complex with two small RNA molecules, a crRNA and a trans-activating crRNA (tracRNA) complementary to the pre-crRNA. The tracrRNA molecule is necessary not only for processing of the pre-crRNA into mature crRNA by RNase III, but also for Cas9 DNA cleavage. When a Cas9, tracrRNA, crRNA complex is formed, 20 nucleotides of the crRNA are oriented to directly base-pair with a strand of the target DNA. It was recently demonstrated that a single, synthetic RNA, dubbed sgRNA, containing elements of both the crRNA and tracrRNA could be used to stimulate Cas9 cleavage at a site determined by the sequence of the DNA-base pairing region from the crRNA portion. Thus, an easily targeted complex containing just a single RNA and one molecule of Cas9 is sufficient to generate a double-strand break at a specific 20bp site. [1][7] Several recent ...
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems provide bacteria and archaea with adaptive immunity against viruses and plasmids by using CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) to guide the silencing of invading nucleic acids. We show here that in a subset of these systems, the mature crRNA that is base-paired to trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA) forms a two-RNA structure that directs the CRISPR-associated protein Cas9 to introduce double-stranded (ds) breaks in target DNA. At sites complementary to the crRNA-guide sequence, the Cas9 HNH nuclease domain cleaves the complementary strand, whereas the Cas9 RuvC-like domain cleaves the noncomplementary strand. The dual-tracrRNA:crRNA, when engineered as a single RNA chimera, also directs sequence-specific Cas9 dsDNA cleavage. Our study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.. -end && ...
CRISPR-Cas RNA-guided nucleases are derived from an adaptive immune system that evolved in bacteria to defend against invading plasmids and viruses. Decades of work investigating CRISPR systems in various microbial species has elucidated a mechanism by which short sequences of invading nucleic acids are incorporated into CRISPR loci. They are then transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) which, together with a trans-activating crRNAs (tracrRNAs), complex with CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins to dictate specificity of DNA cleavage by Cas nucleases through Watson-Crick base pairing between nucleic acids. Building off of two studies showing that the three components required for the type II CRISPR nuclease system are the Cas9 protein, the mature crRNA and the tracrRNA, Doudna, Charpentier and colleagues showed through in vitro DNA cleavage experiments that this system could be reduced to two components by fusion of the crRNA and tracrRNA into a single guide RNA (gRNA). Furthermore, they ...
Various approaches were explored to reduce the off-target mutagenic effects of CRISPR/Cas9. One strategy is to use paired nickases. Cas9 variants that cut one strand rather than both strands of the target DNA sites known as nickases. Because individual nicks in the genome are repaired with high fidelity, simultaneous nicking via appropriately offset guide RNAs is required for double-stranded breaks and extends the number of specifically recognized bases for target cleavage. The paired nickases targeted to sites on opposite DNA strands separated by 4 to 100 bp can efficiently introduce both indel muta-tions and HDR events with a single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide donor template in mammalian cells [57,59,63,64]. Another proposed approach for reducing Cas9-induced off-target effects of gRNAs in human cells involves the use of truncated gRNAs [65]. These truncated gRNAs with a shortened 5 end are 17 or 18 nucleotide long. They generally function as efficiently as full-length gRNAs in directing ...
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) is used by some bacteria and most archaea to protect against viral phage intrusion and has recently been adapted to allow for efficient editing of the mammalian genome. Whilst CRISPR/Cas-based technology has been used to modify genes in mammalian cells in vitro, delivery of CRISPR/Cas system into mammalian tissue and/or organs is more difficult and often requires additional vectors. With the use of adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene delivery system, active CRISPR/Cas enzyme can be maintained for an extended period of time and enable efficient editing of genome in the retina in vivo ...
ArciTect™ tracrRNA is a trans-activating crRNA, one of two RNA components required to make a guide RNA (gRNA) for CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing.
THE CRISPR-Cas9 system is a bacterial adaptive immune system that has been harnessed as a powerful genome editing tool (Doudna and Charpentier 2014). Cas9 is a nuclease that functions with two small RNAs: CRISPR RNA (crRNA), which guides Cas9 to complementary target sequences, and trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA), which binds to the crRNA and to Cas9 to form the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex (Deltcheva et al. 2011). For use in genome editing, the crRNA and tracrRNA are often combined into a single chimeric guide RNA (sgRNA) (Jinek et al. 2012). Expression of Cas9 and sgRNA in cells leads to cleavage of complementary genomic sequences. The double-strand breaks are repaired by endogenous cellular pathways, including end-joining mechanisms [e.g., nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) and theta-mediated end joining (TMEJ)] and homology-dependent repair (HDR) mechanisms (van Schendel et al. 2015). End joining typically introduces random insertions/deletions at the DNA break site, which can disrupt gene ...
An innovative workflow to guide the insertion of 10-12 nucleotides into a gene of interest. Genome engineering using CRISPR-Cas9 requires expression of the Cas9 nuclease with the crRNA and tracrRNA. This can be achieved by co-transfection of a plasmid expressing Cas9 and crRNA:tracrRNA, or by creation of a cell line in which the Cas9 cassette is delivered using lentiviral particles and stably integrated and expressed prior to transfection with crRNA:tracrRNA. The Dharmacon Edit-R™ CRISPR-Cas9 product line represents the most comprehensive portfolio of tools for gene editing available, but tools are useless without an understanding how to use them. The Edit-R CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering platform employing chemically synthesized RNAs is a relatively quick and easy method to test multiple guide sequences for optimizing % indel formation through non homologous end joining (NHEJ) and achieving functional gene knockouts.. One topic that comes up frequently when speaking with researchers and ...

If youve perused the photos in the last two links above, youve almost certainly just thrown up in your mouth a bit. Now steel yourselves: with recent advances in gene editing, grand new vistas of bodily augmentation are now on the table. Stalking Cat was still a biologically ordinary human being weighted with silicone and scars; tomorrows equivalent might be, in the most literal sense, a person who chose to become inhuman.. Well begin with CRISPR, which Scientific American explains for lay readers as such:. First discovered in bacteria, Crispr (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) is a genome-editing tool that can target specific genes in any organism based on RNA-DNA base pairing and then precisely cut the gene through the activities of the enzyme known as Crispr-associated protein 9 or Cas9.. Dont be put off by the daunting prose, and instead pay heed to its implication. While no streamlined explanation can do this complex subject justice, the short version might go ...
CRISPR-mediated immunity works in three phases. First, a new spacer - a piece of DNA obtained from an invading virus - must be integrated into a bacterium. Next, the CRISPR region - the chain of repeats - is expressed (read) and individual spacer sequences are processed into what are called crRNAs (CRISPR RNAs). crRNAs can then recognize the complementary sequence in an invading virus, targeting its genome for destruction. Viral DNA sequences are selected for integration by 2 members of the cas family, Cas1 and Cas2, which recognize short sequences known as protospacer-adjacent motifs (PAM sequences). The presence of a PAM sequence is required for Cas binding, but they are broadly distributed throughout the genome. Cas1 and Cas2 cut the viral DNA adjacent to the PAM sequence and insert that region into one end of the CRISPR array. The total array is expressed as a single long RNA, and groups of Cas proteins then process this RNA into individual crRNAs containing each individual spacer ...
We have validated the use of Edit-R synthetic tracrRNA and crRNAs and achieved efficient gene editing utilizing the Edit-R Cas9 expression plasmids in mammalian cell lines. Thus we cannot predict the efficacy of, nor can we troubleshoot experiments performed with, a mutant Cas9 nuclease expression vector or Cas9 mRNA. However, the repeat component of the crRNA sequence and the entire tracrRNA sequence are derived from the Streptococcus pyogenes CRISPR-Cas9 system, so they very likely can be used with another S. pyogenes-derived Cas9 component that is suitably optimized and sufficiently generates active Cas9 protein. Additionally, you must be able to efficiently co-transfect your Cas9 mRNA or plasmid DNA with the synthetic RNAs ...
Generation of the GJA1-M213L knockin founders and genotyping. CRISPR target sequence around the targeted mutation site was selected using the CRISPOR web algorithm (http://crispor.tefor.net) (40). We chose a CRISPR target sequence of ATTCAGAGCGAGAGACACGA followed by a PAM (AGG), of which the potential cleavage site is located at 16 bases downstream to the targeted codon (ATG to TTA; M213L). The crRNA (AUUCAGAGCGAGAGACACCAGUUUUAGAGCUAUGCUGUUUUG) and tracrRNA (U-002000-120) were synthesized by Dharmacon, Inc. A donor oligo that contained the desired mutation with 60 bases homology arms in both sides that was complementary to the CRISPR target was synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. We included a point mutation (TCC to TCG) for disruption of the PAM to avoid reediting after successful induction of HDR.. A CRISPR mixture consisting of 25 ng/μL oligo donor, 60 ng/μL crRNA/tracrRNA mix (1:1 molar ratio), and 50 ng/μL eSpCas9 protein (ESPCAS9PRO-50UG) (MilliporeSigma) was introduced ...

Purpose : Viral-mediated gene therapy is an exciting development towards curing inherited blindness. However, some genes exceed the carrying capacity of viral vectors or require precise regulation of expression that is difficult to achieve using heterologous systems. To address these issues a precise genome editing technology would be useful. The purpose of this study was to employ CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to develop strategies for three major classes of disease-causing mutations: 1) dominant gain-of-function, 2) deep intronic and 3) exonic mutations. Methods : We designed mutation-specific sgRNA oligos and cloned them into bicistronic constructs expressing a chimeric small guide and tracrRNA transcript under control of the human Pol III U6 promoter upstream of a chicken beta-actin promoter driving a human codon-optimized Cas9. Donor homology-dependent repair (HDR) constructs were cloned carrying ~500 bp of homologous WT sequence. Constructs were delivered via transfection or electroporation. ...

CRISPR/Cas9 is becoming a most popular genome editing tool due to its simplicity, with guide RNA (gRNA or crRNA and tracrRNA) and cas9 recognizing specific target, cas9 will cut the DNA and make DSB (double strand break) just near the PAM site.
CRISPR/Cas9 system, as the third-generation genome editing technology, has been widely applied in target gene repair and gene expression regulation. Selection of appropriate sgRNA can improve the on-target knockout efficacy of CRISPR/Cas9 system with high sensitivity and specificity. However, when CRISPR/Cas9 system is operating, unexpected cleavage may occur at some sites, known as off-target. Presently, a number of prediction methods have been developed to predict the off-target propensity of sgRNA at specific DNA fragments. Most of them use artificial feature extraction operations and machine learning techniques to obtain off-target scores. With the rapid expansion of off-target data and the rapid development of deep learning theory, the existing prediction methods can no longer satisfy the prediction accuracy at the clinical level. Here, we propose a prediction method named CnnCrispr to predict the off-target propensity of sgRNA at specific DNA fragments. CnnCrispr automatically trains the sequence
Specifically, Newton et al. used the C-Trap to tether a single double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) molecule and observe the binding of catalytically dead Cas9 (dCas9) via correlated confocal microscopy. They found that, at contour length, dCas9 bound on-target to DNA (Figure 1 top), whereas upon DNA stretching multiple off-target dCas9 binding events were observed (Figure 1 bottom).. Stretching of the DNA molecule induced the formation of bubbles- local openings of the DNA helix in which the dsDNA melts to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). DNA bubbles are formed naturally during cellular processes, such as DNA replication or transcription. The results here suggest that Cas9 off-target activity is facilitated when duplex DNA is destabilized during cellular processes. The unique feature of the C-Trap to manipulate the structure of DNA by stretching the DNA molecule, as well as the real-time fluorescence measurements, allowed direct visualization and detailed investigation of the effects of DNA structure ...
While CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful technique for genome manipulation, two significant challenges remain: obtaining efficient delivery of the Cas9/sgRNA complex to all cell types, and leaving no additional footprint (i.e., persistent and elevated expression of Cas9 in target cells) that could lead to off-target effects. To address these challenges, we have developed a system of cell-derived nanovesicles called gesicles. Gesicles contain active Cas9 protein complexed with an sgRNA specific to a gene of interest. Thus, there is no persistent expression of Cas9, because no coding gene is present. Additionally, they are engineered with glycoproteins on their surface that mediate binding and fusion with the membrane of a wide range of target cells. These features enable gesicles to knock out genes with high efficiency and in a broader range of cell types than plasmid-based delivery methods. Finally, use of this method allows for control of the dose and duration of the Cas9-sgRNA complex in the cell, ...
Drug development for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) is challenged by subtype diversity arising from variations in subunit composition. On-target activity for neuronal heteromeric receptors is typically associated with CNS receptors that contain alpha 4 and other subunits, while off-target activity could be associated with ganglionic-type receptors containing alpha 3 beta 4 binding sites and other subunits, including beta 4, beta 2, alpha 5, or alpha 3 as a structural subunit in the pentamer. Additional interest in alpha 3 beta 4 alpha 5-containing receptors arises from genome-wide association studies linking these genes,. and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in alpha 5 in particular, to lung cancer and heavy smoking. While alpha 3 and beta 4 readily form receptors in expression system such as the Xenopus oocyte, since alpha 5 is not required for function, Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase simple co-expression approaches this website may under-represent alpha 5-containing ...
This step aims at refining the top hit series to identify and generate selective compounds with improved potency, reduced off-target activities and adequate pharmacokinetics properties for later in vivo efficacy models. Preliminary medicinal chemistry efforts are made at this stage to design and synthesize new analogues based on the hit series to quickly determine potential structure-activity relationships (SARs).. An early assessment of Absorption-Distribution-Metabolism-Excretion (ADME) properties is also performed on those hits or hit series so that lead compounds can be prioritized early in the process.. ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems in bacteria and archaea, consisting of a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) array and CRISPR associated (Cas) proteins. In this work, the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system of Escherichia coli was studied.. CRISPR-Cas immunity is divided into three stages. In the first stage, adaptation, Cas1 and Cas2 store memory of invaders in the CRISPR array as short intervening sequences, called spacers. During the expression stage, the array is transcribed, and subsequently processed into small CRISPR RNAs (crRNA), each consisting of one spacer and one repeat. The crRNAs are bound by the Cascade multi-protein complex. During the interference step, Cascade searches for DNA molecules complementary to the crRNA spacer. When a match is found, the target DNA is degraded by the recruited Cas3 nuclease.. Host factors required for integration of new spacers into the CRISPR array were first investigated. Deleting recD, involved in DNA repair, ...
RALEIGH, N.C. -- CRISPR-Cas systems are widely heralded as a new generation of genetic tools. But development of these tools requires researchers to identify the protospacer-adjacent motifs (PAMs) that unlock each systems functionality. A new set of techniques expedites PAM identification - and early testing finds that many CRISPR-Cas systems actually have multiple PAMs of varying strength. CRISPR-Cas systems protect bacteria from invaders such as viruses. They do this by creating small strands of RNA that match DNA sequences specific to a given invader. When those CRISPR RNAs find a match, they unleash proteins that chop up the invaders DNA, preventing it from replicating. However, the first step in the process isnt comparing the RNA to target DNA. The first step involves PAM recognition and binding ...
In this study, we developed a cloning-free CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing system for highly efficient and convenient one-step generation of knock-in mice carrying a functional gene cassette. This system has several advantages. First, the CRISPR/Cas vector construction and in vitro RNA transcription can be omitted by using commercially available Cas9 protein and chemically synthesized crRNA and tracrRNA, leading to a cloning-free CRISPR/Cas system. Although chemical synthesis of sgRNA might also be possible and convenient, technical limitations for the synthesis of long sgRNAs (more than 100 mer) must be considered. In contrast, shorter crRNAs and tracrRNAs can be chemically synthesized easily in a cost-effective manner. Furthermore, tracrRNAs can be commonly used independently of target sequences as well as Cas9 protein. The targeting vectors are already chemically synthesizable. Second, the efficiency of CRISPR/Cas-mediated digestion can be evaluated with a cell-free IDA system using target ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Incomplete prophage tolerance by type III-A CRISPR-Cas systems reduces the fitness of lysogenic hosts. AU - Goldberg, Gregory W.. AU - McMillan, Elizabeth A.. AU - Varble, Andrew. AU - Modell, Joshua W.. AU - Samai, Poulami. AU - Jiang, Wenyan. AU - Marraffini, Luciano A.. PY - 2018/12/1. Y1 - 2018/12/1. N2 - CRISPR-Cas systems offer an immune mechanism through which prokaryotic hosts can acquire heritable resistance to genetic parasites, including temperate phages. Co-transcriptional DNA and RNA targeting by type III-A CRISPR-Cas systems restricts temperate phage lytic infections while allowing lysogenic infections to be tolerated under conditions where the prophage targets are transcriptionally repressed. However, long-term consequences of this phenomenon have not been explored. Here we show that maintenance of conditionally tolerant type III-A systems can produce fitness costs within populations of Staphylococcus aureus lysogens. The fitness costs depend on the activity of ...
These data demonstrate the successful adaptation of the CRISPR-Cas prokaryotic immune system as an intracellular eukaryotic antiviral defense. Although other CRISPR-Cas systems can target RNA in archaea (18⇓-20) and bacteria (21), and recently Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) has been shown to cleave RNAs in vitro (22), this work demonstrates the reprogramming of a Cas protein (FnCas9) to target RNA within a eukaryotic cell. Intriguingly, we find that orthologous Cas9 proteins from diverse type II CRISPR-Cas families, including S. pyogenes, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Neisseria meningitidis, are also capable of inhibiting HCV during cellular infection (Figs. S7 and S8). This suggests a broader capability of diverse Cas9 proteins to target and associate with RNAs of interest. Our results further demonstrate that FnCas9 inhibition of HCV is PAM-independent, unlike the in vitro RNA-targeting ability of SpCas9, which requires exogenous PAM-encoding oligomers (22). Thus, this method of RNA ...
The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) immune system in prokaryotes uses small guide RNAs to neutralize invading viruses and plasmids. In Escherichia coli, immunity depends on a ribonucleoprotein complex called Cascade. Here we present the composition and low-resolution structure of Cascade and show how it recognizes double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) targets in a sequence-specific manner. Cascade is a 405-kDa complex comprising five functionally essential CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins (CasA(1)B(2)C(6)D(1)E(1)) and a 61-nucleotide CRISPR RNA (crRNA) with 5-hydroxyl and 2,3-cyclic phosphate termini. The crRNA guides Cascade to dsDNA target sequences by forming base pairs with the complementary DNA strand while displacing the noncomplementary strand to form an R-loop. Cascade recognizes target DNA without consuming ATP, which suggests that continuous invader DNA surveillance takes place without energy investment. The structure of Cascade shows an unusual seahorse shape that
Successful gene knockout allows investigators to study gene function and identify redundant and epistatic genes. Investigators have attempted site-directed modification of target genes using natural DNA repair mechanisms; however, the efficiency of natural recombination is low and lacks repeatability. Simpler and more effective approaches to gene knockout/knock-in have been developed, including engineered endonuclease techniques. ZFN (Xiao et al. 2011) and TALEN (Boch and Bonas 2010; Bonas et al. 1989) are widely used tools, but the construct design and experimental procedures are complex. CRISPR/Cas9 is replacing ZFN and TALEN technologies because it is simpler and faster (Mussolino and Cathomen 2013).. Gene editing using the CRISPR/Cas9 system has been well developed, allowing the knockout of single or multiple genes simultaneously. CRISPR/Cas9 has been used to generate stable knockout cell lines (HEK293 cells, induced pluripotent stem cells) and knockout animals (mouse, rat, and zebrafish) ...
Natural variations in a genome can drastically alter the CRISPR-Cas9 off-target landscape by creating or removing sites. Despite the resulting potential side-effects from such unaccounted for sites, current off-target detection pipelines are not equipped to include variant information. To address this, we developed VARiant-aware detection and SCoring of Off-Targets (VARSCOT). VARSCOT identifies only 0.6% of off-targets to be common between 4 individual genomes and the reference, with an average of 82% of off-targets unique to an individual. VARSCOT is the most sensitive detection method for off-targets, finding 40 to 70% more experimentally verified off-targets compared to other popular software tools and its machine learning model allows for CRISPR-Cas9 concentration aware off-target activity scoring. VARSCOT allows researchers to take genomic variation into account when designing individual or population-wide targeting strategies. VARSCOT is available from https://github.com
The CRISPR system in bacteria and archaea provides adaptive immunity against mobile genetic elements. Type III CRISPR systems detect viral RNA, resulting in the activation of two regions of the Cas10 protein: an HD nuclease domain (which degrades viral DNA)1,2 and a cyclase domain (which synthesizes cyclic oligoadenylates from ATP)3,4,5. Cyclic oligoadenylates in turn activate defence enzymes with a CRISPR-associated Rossmann fold domain6, sculpting a powerful antiviral response7,8,9,10 that can drive viruses to extinction7,8. Cyclic nucleotides are increasingly implicated in host-pathogen interactions11,12,13. Here we identify a new family of viral anti-CRISPR (Acr) enzymes that rapidly degrade cyclic tetra-adenylate (cA4). The viral ring nuclease AcrIII-1 is widely distributed in archaeal and bacterial viruses and in proviruses. The enzyme uses a previously unknown fold to bind cA4 specifically, and a conserved active site to rapidly cleave this signalling molecule, allowing viruses to ...
Sequence-directed genetic interference pathways control gene expression and preserve genome integrity in all kingdoms of life. In many bacteria and most archaea, clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) specify a recently discovered genetic interference pathway that protects cells from viruses (phages) and conjugative plasmids. Within CRISPR sequences, the repeats are separated by short spacer sequences that match phage or plasmid genomes and specify the targets of interference. Spacer sequences are transcribed into CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) - small RNAs that, through base-pairing interactions with the target sequence, guide Cas nucleases to the invasive nucleic acid. Upon infection, CRISPR arrays can acquire new repeat-spacer units that match the infecting phage or plasmid. Therefore CRISPR-Cas systems provide adaptive and inheritable immunity to the bacterial cell.

Our results demonstrate that the CRISPR/Cas9 system can catalyze complex genome engineering with high efficiency and specificity. We present a universal approach for identifying targeted events through HDR with dsDNA donors containing positive markers and demonstrate that this approach can be used in conjunction with germline expression of Cas9 to efficiently replace a gene or generate a conditional allele. Through our analysis of off-target cleavage, we show that target site selection with our web-based tool facilitates highly specific modification of the genome free from unintended mutations.. The broad application of CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering requires tools for rapid identification of targeted events. In most cases phenotypic screening will not be an option, necessitating alternative approaches. PCR-based molecular screening methods are a universal option and have been demonstrated with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated NHEJ, but the associated generation and maintenance of candidate fly stocks is ...
Proteins are like cellular machines with lots of working parts (or at least hopefully working parts). Genes hold the instructions for making proteins, so if you change the gene (GENETIC ENGINEERING aka GENE EDITING) you can change the protein, and if you totally mess up the gene, you can prevent the protein it codes for from being made all together. And scientists can take advantage of these relationships in order to see how proteins work and what they do - and even to treat diseases - using variants of a system called CRISPR/Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) and CRISPR ASsociated proteins). Scientists and doctors have only recently started harnessing CRISPRs power - but bacteria have known about it for years! CRISPR/Cas is a way to use RNA as a guide to direct a protein called Cas (Crispr-associated-protein) to a specific location on DNA (target sequence) and cut it. Bacteria have it naturally - they use it as an immune system - theyre interested in ...
Each Tuesday Nikolas Badminton, Futurist, summarizes 3 to 5 future looking developments in the realm of transhuman and cyborg-related technologies.. In Transhuman Tuesday - Designer Babies with CRISPR CAS9 we see Jennifer Doudna, Professor of Chemistry and of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley; Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute give a talk about CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing.. Doudna has been a leading figure in what is often referred to as the CRISPR Revolution for her early fundamental work and ongoing leadership in the development of CRISPR-mediated genome editing. In their 2012 paper titled A programmable dual-RNA-guided DNA endonuclease in adaptive bacterial immunity, Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier were the first to propose that CRISPR/Cas9 could be used for programmable gene editing, an idea that has since been further developed by many research groups for applications ranging from fundamental protein research to treatments for diseases including ...

Recurrent somatic mutations of the epigenetic modifier and tumor suppressor ASXL1 are common in myeloid malignancies, including chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and are associated with poor clinical outcome. CRISPR/Cas9 has recently emerged as a powerful and versatile genome editing tool for genome engineering in various species. We have used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to correct the ASXL1 homozygous nonsense mutation present in the CML cell line KBM5, which lacks ASXL1 protein expression. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ASXL1 homozygous correction resulted in protein re-expression with restored normal function, including down-regulation of Polycomb repressive complex 2 target genes. Significantly reduced cell growth and increased myeloid differentiation were observed in ASXL1 mutation-corrected cells, providing new insights into the role of ASXL1 in human myeloid cell differentiation. Mice xenografted with mutation-corrected KBM5 cells showed significantly longer survival than uncorrected xenografts. These results

As CRISPR-Cas9 system is emerging as a versatile tool in genome editing it is necessary to know the complete landscape of this system. The authors in this review tried to give a perspective of CRISPR-Cas9 along with RNAi. To explain the whole phenomenon they chose several comparable aspects between CRISPR-Cas9 and RNAi with respect to efficiency, off target effects, genome screening tools, in vivo studies and molecular consequences. As off targets are a major problem in genome editing technologies the authors covered certain developments such as introducing mutations in sgRNAs, delivery of multiple sgRNAs for a single target etc. In addition to it various screening strategies, which are used in RNAi have also been explained.. CRISPR-Cas9 system does not interfere with the endogenous machinery of cell as it is edited at the level of DNA within the nucleus; sometimes it is a major problem with siRNAs or shRNAs, which may lead to cell death (Doudna et al, 2014).. ...
CRISPR or clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeat sequences are commonly found in bacteria and function as part of their innate immune system to counter foreign nucleic acids such as viruses and plasmids. CRISPR DNA sequences are translated into CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) which complex with Cas or (CRISPR-associated) proteins to bring about cleavage of invading DNA. These systems…
A structural biologist, Doudna focuses on RNA, a cousin of DNA formerly thought to play a support role in the cell but now known also to control how genes are expressed. She worked on RNA interference and translational control via microRNAs before becoming fascinated by the unique protein-RNA complexes - called CRISPR-associated proteins, or Cas - used by bacteria to protect themselves from viruses. Her discoveries allowed her to tweak the bacterial systems to create CRISPR-Cas9. She continues to investigate the complex protein-RNA interactions within Cas9 and other Cas proteins.. Charpentier is recognized as a leading expert in the regulatory mechanisms underlying infection and immunity in bacterial pathogens. As a result of her work, this field of research is now developing rapidly with huge potential for further advancement of therapeutic tools to treat forms of cancer that have been resistant to treatment via other methods, such as tumor suppressor mutations.. As vice president, Biden led ...

Recent adaptation of the CRISPR/Cas9 bacterial system to facilitate manipulation of mammalian genomes has provided a real breakthrough for genome editing applications. Development of whole-genome CRISPR libraries with the aim of generating gene knockouts for every single coding sequence has allowed forward genetic screening in mammalian cells with unprecedented efficiency and versatility. CRISPR/Cas9 approaches, however, rely on phenotypes associated with loss-of-function mutations.

Strikingly, this was not the case if the parental cross was simply reversed and mothers now contained Act5C-Cas9 and U6-gRNAs (Figure 2B and Figure S1). We found progeny with disrupted GAL4 transgenes even when U6-gRNAs, Act5C-Cas9, or both were absent in the offspring genome (Figure 2, B2-B4). For example, in the complete absence of genetically encoded CRISPR/Cas9 components, ,90% of somatic neurons still contained dGAL4 (GFP cell count = 810 ± 174, n = 2) (Figure 2B4). Since the maternal genome contains both CRISPR/Cas9 components, we reasoned that offspring somatic GAL4 genes were targeted by maternally contributed gRNAs and Cas9 endonuclease present in the female gamete (egg). This is supported by the observation that GFP can be deposited into embryos by a maternal Act5C-GFP transgene (Reichhart and Ferrandon 1998). To directly verify the presence of Cas9 protein in the eggs from the Act5C-Cas9 transgene, we performed anti-Cas9 embryo immunostaining at early developmental stages (0-2 hr ...

Using structural knowledge of Cas9, scientists have overcome a key CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing hurdle and developed a highly specific genome-editing tool.. Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT have engineered changes to the revolutionary CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system that significantly cut down on off-target editing errors. The refined technique addresses one of the major technical issues in the use of genome editing.. The CRISPR-Cas9 system works by making a precisely targeted modification in a cells DNA. The protein Cas9 alters the DNA at a location that is specified by a short RNA whose sequence matches that of the target site. While Cas9 is known to be highly efficient at cutting its target site, a major drawback of the system has been that, once inside a cell, it can bind to and cut additional sites that are not targeted. This has the potential to produce undesired edits that can alter gene expression or knock a ...

Atherosclerosis represents one of the major causes of death globally. The high mortality rates and limitations of current therapeutic modalities have urged researchers to explore potential alternative therapies. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) system is commonly deployed for investigating the genetic aspects of Atherosclerosis. Besides, advances in CRISPR/Cas system has led to extensive options for researchers to study the pathogenesis of this disease. The recent discovery of Cas9 variants, such as dCas9, Cas9n, and xCas9 have been established for various applications, including single base editing, regulation of gene expression, live-cell imaging, epigenetic modification, and genome landscaping. Meanwhile, other Cas proteins, such as Cas12 and Cas13, are gaining popularity for their applications in nucleic acid detection and single-base DNA/RNA modifications. To date, many studies have utilized the CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate ...

According to our previous experience, the CGI is readily methylated by EpiEditors, so it is a sensitive genomic region, which is suitable for the measurement of the off-target activity of epigenome editing in screening experiments. The standardized workflow used in this experiment as well as in all others was as follows: HEK293 cells were ...
Since its inception, CRISPR has gained strong traction from the global research community because of its huge potential in diverse applications. Considering CRISPRs disruptive and game-changing applications, a number of large and small participants have invested in this domain. Along the same line, CRISPR has witnessed a multi-fold uptake in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other government agencies. As a result, these investments have led to significant growth in new product and application development, thereby creating new market segments and revenue growth opportunities for existing companies and new entrants. In 2017, the CRISPR/Cas9 tools market opportunity will likely be about $1.8 to $2 billion. The therapeutics and agriculture segments will contribute the most revenue potential. The market is currently highly fragmented, with a handful of global participants and a large number of application-focused participants operating in their respective segments. Competition in the

Functional genomic screening is largely used for identifying the essential genes for a specific cellular process. RNA interference (RNAi) [51] has been dominantly applied for genome-wide screening; however, the off-target effects of RNAi has limited its applications [52-54]. In addition, RNAi could not be used for silencing RNAs located in nucleus. The CRISPR-Cas9 system has been successfully used in various genome-scale loss of function screening [55-58]. Using a genome-scale lentiviral sgRNA library, all expected genes of the DNA mismatch repair pathway have been identified in screening for resistance to the nucleotide analog 6-thioguanine, and numerous genes corresponding to fundamental processes have been obtained with a negative selection screening for essential genes [55]. A genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout (GeCKO) library has been developed and successfully used for screening genes essential for cell viability in cancer and pluripotent stem cells and for genes associated with the ...
Bacteria face a constant threat of being infected and killed by viruses, called bacteriophages, that are specially equipped to destroy them. In the Bondy-Denomy lab we are interested in the ways in which bacteria defend themselves from attack. We use a combination of genetic, molecular and biochemical approaches to characterize the arms race between bacteria and phages, with a goal to better understand microbial ecosystems. Furthermore, we hope to make discoveries that will be influential in combatting infectious disease and providing novel biotechnologies.. The CRISPR-Cas system was functionally characterized just ten years ago as a bacterial immune system that targets phages. Since then, there has been an explosion of interest in this system for its widespread presence in the microbial world as well as its facile programmability. This has formed the basis of a revolutionary gene editing technique, CRISPR-Cas9. In the lab, we are focused on studying CRISPR-Cas systems in their natural settings, ...
Abstract: The mixed lineage kinase ZAK is a key regulator of the MAPK pathway mediating cell survival and inflammatory response. ZAK is targeted by several clinically approved kinase inhibitors, and inhibition of ZAK has been reported to protect from doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. On the other hand, unintended targeting of ZAK has been linked to severe adverse effects such as the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, both specific inhibitors of ZAK, as well as anticancer drugs lacking off-target activity against ZAK, may provide therapeutic benefit. Here, we report the first crystal structure of ZAK in complex with the B-RAF inhibitor vemurafenib. The cocrystal structure displayed a number of ZAK-specific features including a highly distorted P loop conformation enabling rational inhibitor design. Positional scanning peptide library analysis revealed a unique substrate specificity of the ZAK kinase including unprecedented preferences for histidine residues at ...

CRISPR/ Cas9 gene editing is rapidly becoming the state of the art for mouse genome engineering. During the last year, the OHSU Transgenic Mouse Models Core has successfully used this technology to generate both targeted gene knock-outs and point mutation knock-ins for its clients.. The Transgenic Mouse Models Core has revised its CRISPR pricing structure for 2016. Non-homologous end joining-based gene knock-outs for OHSU investigators will be $2100 per project (150 injections), with the user responsible for design and validation of targeting strategy. CRISPR-based point mutation projects will temporarily remain at $1500 until this approach is considered routine. The same pricing applies for projects aimed at inserting larger fragments of DNA such as epitope tags, loxP recognition sites, fluorescent proteins, or similar insertion strategies. Exploratory technique pricing requires additional consultation with the core for approval.. A new, streamlined option has been added for users with less ...
The genetic modification of mammalian cell lines just became easier with the introduction of new CRISPR/Cas9 full gene editing tool by AMSBIO. This tool can be used for modifying any mammalian cell by targeting any gene without using foreign genetic material.. The new AMSBIO CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tool carries out the process by utilizing the Cas9 protein, co-expressed with a guide RNA vector from human U6 polymerase III promoter. Editing the genome using CRISPR/Cas9 tool involves inserting a functional cassette, synthesized in a rescue donor vector into the unwound DNA cleaved by Cas9 upon recognition of the target sequence by guide RNA.. This new tool is simpler, more powerful and efficient that the existing gene editing tools like TALENs and zinc finger. CRISPR/Cas9 is ideal for bi-allelic gene modification operations, creating knock-in, knock-out and mutations of any gene in any mammalian cell line.. Source: AMSBIO. ...
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing is a rapidly developing technique that is thought to provide revolutionary new ways to manipulate genes for the treatment of a number of diseases. Delivering the CRISPR therapeutic in an efficient, safe and predictable way, though, has been difficult--to this end, researchers at UMass have created a means of administering the gene editor that could help send it to clinical trials.
Biologists use CRISPR for genetic engineering experiments, but cells may have evolved the mechanism as part of a defense system. The cell uses these locations to store molecular memories of invaders so that they can be selectively eradicated at the next encounter.. The bugs immunity system works just as efficiently as ours, except our system functions at the protein recognition level, whereas CRISPR works at the nucleic acid recognition level, explained Ailong Ke, professor of molecular biology and genetics.. Upon first encounter, the bacteria inserts a bit of an invaders DNA into its own genome at the CRISPR location. When needed, an RNA transcript of the stored DNA, called guide RNA, can be assembled with other proteins into a complex called Cascade (CRISPR Associated Complex for Antiviral Defense). The system is so efficient and precise that researchers have thought of ways to re-tool it for genome editing applications, to introduce changes at precise locations of DNA. A CRISPR ...
The Melbourne Advanced Genome Editing Centre (MAGEC) was established in 2013 by the Herold lab, with the aim of developing CRISPR/Cas9 technology for gene editing within WEHI. The lab was able to adapt the CRISPR/Cas9 system into a novel inducible lentiviral platform for rapid and efficient modification of genes in cell lines and primary cells (Aubrey et al., Cell Reports 2015). During this time, MAGEC successfully translated their expertise in CRISPR/Cas9 technology into the generation of gene-targeted mice.. To date, the MAGEC lab has successfully used CRISPR/Cas9 to generate ~ 100 mouse models with constitutive gene knockouts, conditional alleles, epitope tags, single-base substitutions and gene knock-ins. The lab is highly experienced in designing gene targeting strategies, including sgRNA design, generating vectors for homologous recombination and genotyping targeted mice with next-generation sequencing.. The mouse production at WEHI is performed within an extremely clean animal facility, ...

The ease with which the CRISPR methodology can be applied might lead to ethical concerns. In 2015, a team of Chinese researchers reported their efforts to genetically modify human embryos using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and although the study did not yield a successfully engineered human, it set off a firestorm of controversy worldwide on the use of human embryos in research.17 Many have voiced a concern that the simplicity of editing the human genome will result in the production of designer babies.13 Others claim that these efforts are doomed because they are attempting to leap beyond our existing technological capabilities.17 In either case, as the CRISPR technology advances, its likely that the ethical debate will continue regarding which applications of CRISPR/Cas are universally acceptable.10 Current limitations of CRISPR revolve around a few imperfections in the technology. For one, our cells have several different DNA repair mechanisms, and while the repair is predictable, its not ...
