Project description:Techniques for exclusion of exons from mature transcripts have been applied as gene therapies for treating many different diseases. Since exon skipping has been traditionally accomplished using technologies that have a transient effect, it is particularly important to develop new techniques that enable permanent exon skipping. We have recently demonstrated that this can be accomplished using cytidine base editors for permanently disabling the splice acceptor of target exons. We now demonstrate the application of adenine-deaminase base editors to disrupt the conserved adenosine within splice acceptor sites for programmable exon skipping. We also demonstrate that by altering the amino acid sequence of the linker between the adenosine deaminase domain and the Cas9 nickase or by coupling the adenine base editor with a uracil glycosylase inhibitor, the DNA editing efficiency and exon skipping rates improve significantly. Finally, we developed a split base editor architecture compatible with adeno-associated viral packaging. Collectively, these results represent significant progress towards permanent in vivo exon skipping through base editing and, ultimately, a new modality of gene therapy for the treatment of genetic diseases.

Project description:Exon skipping technologies enable exclusion of targeted exons from mature mRNA transcripts, which has broad applications in molecular and cellular biology, medicine and biotechnology. Existing exon skipping techniques include antisense oligonucleotides, targetable nucleases and base editors, which, while effective for specific applications at some target exons, remain hindered by shortcomings preventing their broader implementation including transient effects in the case of oligonucleotides or limiting PAM motifs, sequence context preferences for deaminases, and undesirable cryptic splicing in the case of gene editing tools. To overcome these limitations, we created SPLICER, a toolbox of next-generation base editors consisting of near-PAMless Cas9 nickase variants fused with different deaminases for simultaneous editing of splice acceptor (SA) and splice donor (SD) sequences. Synchronized SA and SD editing not only improves exon skipping rates but also reduces aberrant outcomes such as cryptic splicing and intron retention. SPLICER enables editing of exon splice sites with high efficiency, including many exons refractory to splicing reprogramming by the native SpCas9 BEs. To demonstrate the therapeutic potential of SPLICER, we targeted APP exon 17, which contains the amino acid residues responsible for the formation of Aβ plaques in Alzheimer’s disease. SPLICER enabled precise and highly efficient exon skipping, which reduced the formation of Aβ42 peptides in vitro while inducing DNA editing and exon skipping in vivo within a humanized mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Overall, SPLICER is a widely applicable and highly efficient toolbox for exon skipping with broad therapeutic applications.

Project description:This study explores the impact of mutations in the exon 2 of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene, associated with erythrocytosis or von Hippel-Lindau disease. We analyzed 15 genetic variants, including missense and synonymous mutations, to assess their effects on VHL protein stability and splicing. Using in silico predictions and functional assays, we found that specific mutations reduce protein stability, induce exon skipping and can cause a shift in the splice donor site. This study highlighted new exonic splicing regulatory regions. Notably, by performing RNA-protein pull down we identified two novel RNA-binding proteins, hnRNP F and hnRNP AB, as key regulators of VHL splicing. Our findings reveal the limitations of current splicing prediction tools in recognizing exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) or silencer (ESS) sequences and suggest that mutations can differentially affect disease phenotypes by influencing both protein stability and splicing. These insights enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying VHL-associated disorders, delimitate new regulatory regions and demonstrates the role of new RNA-binding proteins in VHL splicing regulation.

Project description:Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited and ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded polyglutamine-encoding CAG repeat within exon 1 of the huntingtin (HTT) gene, which produces a mutant protein that destroys striatal and cortical neurons.Importantly, a critical event in the pathogenesis of HD is the proteolytic cleavage of the mutant HTT protein by caspase-6, which generates fragments of the N-terminal domain of the protein that form highly toxic aggregates. Given the role that proteolysis of the mutant HTT protein plays in HD, strategies forpreventing this process hold potential for treating the disorder.By screening 141 CRISPR base editor variants targeting splice elements in the HTT gene, we identified platforms capable of producing HTT protein isoforms resistant to caspase-6-mediated proteolysis via editing of the splice acceptor sequence for exon 13. When delivered to the striatum of a rodent HD model, these base editors induced efficient exon skipping and decreased the formation of the N-terminal fragments, which in turn reduced HTT protein aggregation and attenuatedstriatal and cortical atrophy.Collectively, these results illustrate the potential for CRISPR base editing to decrease the toxicity of the mutant HTT protein for HD.

Project description:SR proteins are well-characterized RNA binding proteins that promote exon inclusion by binding to exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs). However, it has been unclear whether regulatory rules deduced on model genes apply generally to activities of SR proteins in the cell. Here, we report global analyses of two prototypical SR proteins SRSF1 (SF2/ASF) and SRSF2 (SC35) using splicing-sensitive arrays and CLIP-seq on mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs). Unexpectedly, we find that these SR proteins promote both inclusion and skipping of exons in vivo, but their binding patterns do not explain such opposite responses. Further analyses reveal that loss of one SR protein is accompanied by coordinated loss or compensatory gain in the interaction of other SR proteins at the affected exons. Therefore, specific effects on regulated splicing by one SR protein actually depend on a complex set of relationships with multiple other SR proteins in mammalian genomes. SRSF1 and SRSF2 CLIP-seq

Project description:RBM10 is an RNA-binding protein that plays an essential role in development and is frequently mutated in the context of human disease. RBM10 recognizes a diverse set of RNA motifs in introns and exons and regulates alternative splicing. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this seemingly relaxed sequence specificity are not understood and functional studies have focused on 3’ intronic sites only. Here we dissect the RNA code recognized by RBM10 and relate it to the splicing regulatory function of this protein. We show that a two-domain RRM1-ZnF unit recognises a GGA-centred motif enriched in RBM10 exonic sites with high affinity and specificity and test that the interaction with these exonic sequences promotes exon skipping. Importantly, a second RRM domain (RRM2) of RBM10 recognises a C-rich sequence, which explains its known interaction with the intronic 3’ site of NUMB exon 9 contributing to regulation of the Notch pathway in cancer. Together, these findings explain RBM10’s broad RNA specificity and suggest that RBM10 functions as a splicing regulator using two RNA-binding units with different specificities to promote exon skipping.
