Project description:Mapping proteomic composition at distinct genomic loci and subnuclear landmarks in living cells has been a long-standing challenge. Here we report that dCas9-APEX2 Biotinylation at genomic Elements by Restricted Spatial Tagging (C-BERST) allows the unbiased mapping of proteomes near defined genomic loci, as demonstrated for telomeres and centromeres. C-BERST enables the high-throughput identification of proteins associated with specific sequences, facilitating annotation of these factors and their roles in nuclear and chromosome biology.

Project description:We demonstrate that dCas9-SunTag-DNMT3A dramatically increased CpG methylation at the HOXA5 locus in human embryonic kidney 293T cells (HEK293T). Furthermore, using a single sgRNA, dCas9-SunTag-DNMT3A was able to methylate a 4.5 kb genomic region and repress HOXA5 gene expression. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and RNA-seq showed that dCas9-SunTag-DNMT3A methylated regions of interest with minimal impact on the global DNA methylome and transcriptome.

Project description:Epigenetic regulation of mutually exclusive transcription within the var gene family is important for infection and pathogenesis of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. var genes are kept transcriptionally silent via heterochromatic clusters located at the nuclear periphery; however, only a few proteins have been shown to play a direct role in var gene transcriptional regulation. Importantly, the chromatin components that contribute to var gene nuclear organization remain unknown. Here, we adapted a CRISPR-based immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry approach for de novo identification of factors associated with specific transcriptional regulatory sequences of var genes. Tagged, catalytically inactive Cas9 (“dCas9”) was targeted to var gene promoters or introns, cross-linked, and immunoprecipitated with all DNA, proteins, and RNA associated with the targeted locus. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing demonstrated that genome-wide dCas9 binding was specific and robust. Proteomics analysis of dCas9-immunoprecipitates identified specific proteins for each target region, including known and novel factors such as DNA binding proteins, chromatin remodelers, and structural proteins. We also demonstrate the ability to immunoprecipitate RNA that is closely associated to the targeted locus. Our CRISPR/dCas9 study establishes a new tool for targeted purification of specific genomic loci and advances understanding of virulence gene regulation in the human malaria parasite.

Project description:We report the generation of CRISPR-dCas9 DNA methyltransferases to mediate targeted DNA methylation. Using the dCas9-BFP-DNMT3A and dCas9-BFP-DNMT3B methyltransferases, we have demonstrated that these two methyltransferase can mediate targeted methylation in three human genes tested: uPA, TGFBR3, and CDKN2A in human HEK293T cells. We also showed that these methyltransferases could mediate gene inhibition. five samples co-transfected with five uPA sgRNAs and each of the four dCas9 fusions, or control transfection with pUC19 plasmid

Project description:Myc-driven Group 3 medulloblastoma (MB) is the most aggressive tumor among the four subgroups classified by transcriptome, genomic landscape and clinical outcomes. So far in all available mouse Group 3 models, the constitutive ectopic Myc expression was under control of LTR element or other exogenous promoters within the vectors, which were randomly inserted into the genome with multiple copies. Here we are deploying nuclease deficient CRISPR/dCas9-based transactivator that is targeted to promoter DNA sequences by specific guide RNA to force the transcriptional activation of endogenous Myc in p53-/-;cdkn2c-/- neurospheres cells. A combination of three sgRNAs together with dCas9-VP64 induced the highest expression of endogenous Myc. When the targeted cells were transplanted to the cortex of recipients, tumors arose fully recapitulate the Group 3 MB in human. This novel mouse model should significantly strengthen our understanding and treatment of the Myc-driven Group 3 medulloblastoma.

Project description:Based on the hypothesis that, enhancing the local concentration of donor oligos could increase the correction rates, we generated and tested novel CRISPR-Cas9 systems, in which the DNA repair template is covalently conjugated to Cas9 (RNPD system). To validate our results from the HEK293T reporter cells, we here tested our approach at different endogenous genomic loci and in different cell types. We first targeted the human beta globin (HBB) locus in the K562 cell line, and analyzed correction- and editing frequencies using next generation sequencing (NGS). Next we targeted the Rosa26 and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (Pcsk9) locus in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Here, RNPD system was always compared to Cas9 SNAP-tag fusion proteins with uncoupled donor oligos. To also directly compare the engineered RNPD system to the classical CRISPR-Cas9 system, we performed experiments where we used wild-type Cas9 with the uncoupled donor oligos as a control. We therefore targeted the fluorescent reporter locus as well as the endogenous loci HBB, empty spiracles homeobox 1 (EMX1), and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) in HEK293T cells. Finally, we performed the analysis of three computationally predicted off-target sites of the reporter locus.

Project description:Inferring causal relationship between epigenetic marks and gene expression requires molecular tools which can precisely modify specific genomic regions in a living cell. In this work, we present a comprehensive, modular and extensible CRISPR/dCas9-based molecular toolbox for targeted epigenetic modulation and direct gene regulation. It features a system for expression of orthogonal dCas9 proteins fused to catalytic domains of various effectors, and includes a multi-gRNA system for targeting dCas9 orthologs to up to six loci. This part of the study aimed to determine the impact of promoter strength on modulating on- and off-target activity of dSpCas9-DNMT3A and dSpCas9-TET1 fusion proteins. The dSpCas9-DNMT3A N-terminal fusion was used to target IL6ST with four sgRNAs, and the dSpCas9-TET1 N-terminal fusion was used to target MGAT3 with five gRNAs. For each locus, two types of constructs were used: i) construct having both the fusion protein and the selection marker (PuroR) under the same strong, constitutive CAG promoter; ii) the fusion construct under the weak EFS promoter, while maintaining efficient selection of transfected cells with PuroR under the strong SV40 promoter. Epigenome-wide profiling was conducted using the Illumina Infinium Human MethylationEPIC Beadchip arrays to assess on- and off-target activity of the fusion proteins in transfected HEK293 cells.
