Project description:Human APOBEC3 enzymes are a family of single-stranded (ss)DNA and RNA cytidine deaminases that act as part of the intrinsic immunity against viruses and retroelements. APOBEC3s deaminate cytosine to form uracil which can functionally inactivate or cause degradation of viral or retroelement genomes. In addition, APOBEC3 proteins have deamination independent anti-viral activity and aberrant regulation of APOBEC3 expression can result in the deamination and mutagenesis of the genome contributing to cancer initiation and evolution. To further understand their cellular roles, we used affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) to determine the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network for the human APOBEC3 enzymes and uncovered a diverse number of protein-protein and protein-RNA mediated interactions. PPIs with the Prefoldin family of protein folding chaperones were identified for APOBEC3B, APOBEC3D, and APOBEC3F. The APOBEC3B and prefoldin 5 (PFD5) interaction disrupted the ability of PFD5 to induce degradation of the oncogene cMyc, implicating a deamination independent contribution of APOBEC3B to cancer. Altogether, the results uncover novel functions and interactions of the APOBEC3 family and suggest that they may have fundamental roles in cellular RNA biology, their roles are not redundant, and there is a deamination independent influence on cancer.

Project description:The RNA-guided DNA endonuclease Cas9 has emerged as a powerful new tool for genome engineering. Cas9 creates targeted double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the genome. Knock-in of specific mutations (precision genome editing) requires homology-directed repair (HDR) of the DSB by synthetic donor DNAs containing the desired edits, but HDR has been reported to be variably efficient. Here, we report that linear DNAs (single and double-stranded) engage in a high-efficiency HDR mechanism that requires only ~35 nucleotides of homology with the targeted locus to introduce edits ranging from 1 to 1000 nucleotides. We demonstrate the utility of linear donors by introducing fluorescent protein tags in human cells and mouse embryos using PCR fragments. We find that repair is local, polarity-sensitive, and prone to template switching, characteristics that are consistent with gene conversion by synthesis-dependent strand-annealing (SDSA). Our findings enable rational design of synthetic donor DNAs for efficient genome editing.

Project description:Gene disruption by CRISPR/Cas9 is highly efficient and relies on the error-prone non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway. Conversely, precise gene editing requires homology-directed repair (HDR), which occurs at a lower frequency than NHEJ in mammalian cells. Here, by testing whether manipulation of DNA repair factors would improve HDR efficacy, we show that transient ectopic co-expression of RAD52 and a dominant-negative 53BP1 (dn53BP1) synergize to enable efficient HDR using a single-stranded oligonucleotide DNA donor template at multiple loci in human cells, including patient-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Co-expression of RAD52 and dn53BP1 improves multiplexed HDR-mediated editing, whereas expression of RAD52 alone enhances HDR with Cas9 nickase. Our data show that the frequency of NHEJ-mediated DSB repair in the presence of these two factors is not suppressed, and suggest that dn53BP1 competitively antagonizes 53BP1 to augment HDR in combination with RAD52. Importantly, co-expression of RAD52 and dn53BP1 does not alter Cas9 off-target activity. These findings support the use of RAD52 and dn53BP1 co-expression to overcome bottlenecks that limit HDR in precision genome editing.

Project description:The gain-of-function mutation of c.G6055A (p.G2019S) in Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene is the most prevalent genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Although clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9-based genome editing has been used to generate isogenic control lines, there are risks of creating indels and genomic instability together with a lower efficiency in non-dividing cells. The recent advance of adenine base editors (ABEs) could convert targeted A•T base pairs to G•C base pairs without double-strand DNA breaks or donor DNA templates and function in post-mitotic cells. Here, we demonstrate a complete correction of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line derived from a PD patient having LRRK2 p.G2019S mutation using variable genome editing methods, including CRISPR/Cas9-based homology-directed repair (HDR) and ABEs. The corrected isogenic iPSCs derived dopaminergic neurons showed a down-regulated LRRK2 kinase activity, decreased phospho-a-synuclein accumulations, reduced apoptosis and restored neurite shrinkage phenotypes. The mutation correction efficacy, off-target and indels rates between CRISPR/Cas9-HDR and ABE were compared. Among the 47 clones generated by HDR, 3 clones (6.4%) were on-targeted corrected, while ABE showed a much higher correction rate (13 of 53 clones, 24.5%). Whole genome sequencing analysis revealed that there are 27 clones of HDR (57.4%) having deletions but none in clones of ABE, albeit ABE created 14 clones (26.4%) having off-target missense mutations. RNA sequencing and proteomic analysis of the mutant line identified 2220 differentially expressed genes compared with its isogenic control. Enrichment analysis demonstrated an over-representation of PD relevant pathways, including calcium ion dependent exocytosis, synaptic transports well as potential novel targets relevant to PD pathophysiology. These results envision that ABE could directly correct the pathogenic PD mutation in iPSCs for exploring the earliest events in PD pathophysiology and providing dopaminergic neurons for future cell therapies.

Project description:Postmitotic neurons are known to harbor high levels of methylated cytosine and its oxidized intermediates such as 5hmC, but the functional relevance of these epigenetic modifications of DNA are poorly understood. We show that some but not all cytidine analogs, such as cytarabine, cause DNA double strand breaks (DSB) during TET-mediated active 5mC demethylation by interrupting TDG-dependent base excision repair. These DSBs are frequently converted into indels and translocations by DNA ligase 4. In vivo, Purkinje and Golgi cells in the cerebellum are the only neuronal populations that exhibit high levels of DNA damage to cytarabine. In Purkinje cells, TET targets gene bodies with the highest expression marked by enhancer-associated histone modifications. Many of these genes control movement coordination which explains the long recognized cerebellar neurotoxicity of cytarabine. We show that other cytidine analogs, such as gemcitabine cause only single strand breaks in neurons, which are repaired by DNA ligase 3 with minimal toxicity. Our findings uncover a mechanistic link between TET-mediated DNA demethylation, base excision repair and gene expression in neurons and provide a rational explanation for the different neurotoxicity profiles of an important class of antineoplastic agents.
