Orthogonal CRISPR-associated transposases for parallel and multiplexed chromosomal integration.

ABSTRACT: Cell engineering is commonly limited to the serial manipulation of a single gene or locus. The recently discovered CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) could manipulate multiple sets of genes to achieve predetermined cell diversity, with orthogonal CASTs being able to manipulate them in parallel. Here, a novel CAST from Pseudoalteromonas translucida KMM520 (PtrCAST) was characterized without a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) preference which can achieve a high insertion efficiency for larger cargo and multiplexed transposition and tolerate mismatches out of 4-nucleotide seed sequence. More importantly, PtrCAST operates orthogonally with CAST from Vibrio cholerae Tn6677 (VchCAST), though both belonging to type I-F3. The two CASTs were exclusively active on their respective mini-Tn substrate with their respective crRNAs that target the corresponding 5 and 2 loci in one Escherichia coli cell. The multiplexed orthogonal MUCICAT (MUlticopy Chromosomal Integration using CRISPR-Associated Transposases) is a powerful tool for cell programming and appears promising with applications in synthetic biology.

Targeted DNA integration in human cells without double-strand breaks using CRISPR RNA-guided transposases

Project description:Traditional genome-editing reagents such as CRISPR-Cas9 achieve targeted DNA modification by introducing double-strand breaks (DSBs), thereby stimulating localized DNA repair by endogenous cellular repair factors. While highly effective at generating heterogenous knockout mutations, this approach suffers from undesirable byproducts and an inability to control product purity. Here we develop a system in human cells for programmable, DSB-free DNA integration using Type I CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs). To adapt our previously described CAST systems, we optimized DNA targeting by the QCascade complex through a comprehensive assessment of protein design, and we developed potent transcriptional activators by exploiting the multi-valent recruitment of the AAA+ ATPase, TnsC, to genomic sites targeted by QCascade. After initial detection of plasmid-based transposition, we screened 15 homologous CAST systems from a wide range of bacterial hosts, identified a CAST homolog from Pseudoalteromonas that exhibited improved activity, and increased integration efficiencies through parameter optimization. We further discovered that bacterial ClpX enhances genomic integration by multiple orders of magnitude, and we propose that this critical accessory factor functions to drive active disassembly of the post-transposition CAST complex, akin to its demonstrated role in Mu transposition. Our work highlights the ability to functionally reconstitute complex, multi-component machineries in human cells, and establishes a strong foundation to realize the full potential of CRISPR-associated transposons for human genome engineering.

Enabling multiplexed CRISPR/Cas9 screening via massively parallel in-library ligation

Project description:Here we developed a massively parallel in-library ligation methodology to simultaneously perturb four pre-designed targets in CRISPR/Cas9 screening. Thousands of pairs of sequences precisely ligated with their counterparts in library, which enabled simultaneous expression of four gRNAs from each single vector. We demonstrated this novel method with 6,236 4-gene combinations targeting 1,599 immune response related genes, and generated a plasmid library with 1,400x coverage. The library performance was evaluated in a canonical T cell activation experiment, and combinations involved in TCR signaling pathway or TCR complex were successfully identified as positive regulators. Novel combination that is reflecting a potential pathway crosstalk was also verified. This new methodology expands the capacity of the perturbation in CRISPR screening and provided a powerful tool for researches in broad fields to study the combinatorial outcomes from coordinated gene behaviors.

CRISPR recording in zebrafish embryos with orthogonal CRISPR systems

Project description:The CRISPR-Cas universe continues to expand. The type II CRISPR-Cas system from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpyCas9) is most widely used for genome editing due to its high efficiency in cells and organisms. However, concentrating on a single CRISPR-Cas system imposes limits on target selection and multiplexed genome engineering. We hypothesized that CRISPR-Cas systems originating from different bacterial species could operate simultaneously and independently due to their distinct single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) or CRISPR-RNAs (crRNAs), and protospacer adjacent motifs (PAMs). Additionally, we hypothesized that CRISPR-Cas activity in zebrafish could be regulated through the expression of inhibitory anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins. Here, we use a simple mutagenesis approach to demonstrate that CRISPR-Cas systems from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpyCas9), Streptococcus aureus (SauCas9), Lachnospiraceae bacterium (LbaCas12a, previously known as LbCpf1), Acidaminococcus sp. (AspCas12a, previously known as AsCpf1) and Neisseria meningitidis (Nme2Cas9) are orthogonal systems capable of operating simultaneously in zebrafish. We implemented multichannel CRISPR recording using up to three CRISPR systems, and show that LbaCas12a may provide superior information density compared to previous methods. We also demonstrate that type II Acrs (anti-CRISPRs) are effective inhibitors of SpyCas9 in zebrafish. These results indicate that at least five CRISPR-Cas systems and two anti-CRISPR proteins are functional in zebrafish embryos. These orthogonal CRISPR-Cas systems and Acr proteins will enable combinatorial and intersectional strategies for spatiotemporal control of genome editing and genetic recording in animals.
