Project description:We used CRISPR KI technology to mutagenize the cis-regulatory elements including the editing stem and the editing complementary sequence of three RNA editing substrates-NEIL1, TTYH2, AJUBA. We designed single nucleotide variants, double-nucleotide variants and other mutant isoforms to interrogate the primary sequence and the secondary structures around the endogenous RNA editing sites. Gene specific primers were used to make the NGS library for each locus. The unique mutation of each tested isoform can be used as barcode and RNA editing level can be measured for each isoform from the pooled library. We found that RNA sequence and structure features synergistically determine the editing levels. Several features, such as mutation number, free energy, and probability of active conformation, play an important role in determining editing efficiency. This study systematically investigated the contribution of cis-regulatory elements to ADAR1 RNA editing by combining CRISPR-based saturation mutagenesis and deep sequencing technology.

Project description:CRISPR technology has demonstrated broad utility for controlling target gene expression. However, there remains a need for strategies capable of modulating expression via the precise editing of non-coding regulatory elements. Here we demonstrate that CRISPR base editors, a class of gene-modifying proteins capable of inducing single-base substitutions in DNA, can be harnessed to perturb target gene expression via the targeted mutagenesis of cis-acting sequences. Using the promoter region of the human huntingtin (HTT) gene as an initial target, we show that editing of the binding site for the transcription factor NF-κB led to a marked reduction in HTT gene expression. We find that these gene perturbations were persistent and specific, as a transcriptome-wide RNA-seq analysis revealed virtually no off-target effects. We further show that this base-editing platform could lower HTT in vivo, as its delivery to a mouse model of Huntington’s disease decreased HTT expression in striatal neurons, an outcome that we show also increased survival. Finally, we use this approach to target the amyloid-beta precursor protein, demonstrating that multiplexed editing of its promoter region could significantly perturb its expression, supporting the applicability of this method. These findings thus demonstrate the potential for base editors to regulate target gene expression.

Project description:Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing catalyzed by ADAR enzymes occurs in double-stranded RNAs. Despite a compelling need towards predictive understanding of natural and engineered editing events, how the RNA sequence and structure determine the editing efficiency and specificity (i.e., cis-regulation) is poorly understood. We apply a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated saturation mutagenesis approach to generate libraries of mutations near three natural editing substrates at their endogenous genomic loci. We use machine learning to integrate diverse RNA sequence and structure features to model editing levels measured by deep sequencing. We confirm known features and identify new features important for RNA editing. Training and testing XGBoost algorithm within the same substrate yield models that explain 68 to 86 percent of substrate-specific variation in editing levels. However, the models do not generalize across substrates, suggesting complex and context-dependent regulation patterns. Our integrative approach can be applied to larger scale experiments towards deciphering the RNA editing code.

Project description:CRISPR tiling screens have advanced the identification and characterization of regulatory sequences but are limited by low resolution arising from the indirect readout of editing via guide RNA sequencing. This study introduces CRISPR-CLEAR, an end-to-end experimental assay and computational pipeline, which leverages targeted sequencing of CRISPR-introduced alleles at the endogenous target locus following dense base-editing mutagenesis. This approach enables the dissection of regulatory elements at nucleotide resolution, facilitating a direct assessment of genotype-phenotype effects.

Project description:The CRISPR-Cas9 system enables efficient sequence-specific mutagenesis for creating germline mutants of model organisms. Key constraints in vivo remain the expression and delivery of active Cas9-guideRNA ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) with minimal toxicity, variable mutagenesis efficiencies depending on targeting sequence, and high mutation mosaicism. Here, we established in vitro-assembled, fluorescent Cas9-sgRNA RNPs in stabilizing salt solution to achieve maximal mutagenesis efficiency in zebrafish embryos. Sequence analysis of targeted loci in individual embryos reveals highly efficient bi-allelic mutagenesis that reaches saturation at several tested gene loci. Such virtually complete mutagenesis reveals preliminary loss-of-function phenotypes for candidate genes in somatic mutant embryos for subsequent generation of stable germline mutants. We further show efficient targeting of functional non-coding elements in gene-regulatory regions using saturating mutagenesis towards uncovering functional control elements in transgenic reporters and endogenous genes. Our results suggest that in vitro assembled, fluorescent Cas9-sgRNA RNPs provide a rapid reverse-genetics tool for direct and scalable loss-of-function studies beyond zebrafish applications.

Project description:Regulatory elements (REs) consist of enhancers and promoters that occupy a significant portion of the non-coding genome and control gene expression programs either in –cis or in –trans. Putative REs have been identified largely based on their regulatory features (co-occupancy of ESC-specific transcription factors, enhancer histone marks and DNase hypersensitivity) in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). However, less has been established regarding their regulatory functions in their native context. We deployed cis- and trans-regulatory elements scanning through saturating mutagenesis and sequencing (ctSCAN-SMS) to target elements within the ~12kb cis-region of the Oct4 gene locus, as well as genome-wide 2,613 high-confidence trans-REs (TREs), in mESCs. The ctSCAN-SMS identified 10 CREs and 12 TREs, as novel candidate REs of the Oct4 gene in mESCs. Furthermore, deletion of these REs confirmed that the majority of the CREs and TREs are functionally active, and involved in regulating Oct4 gene expression. Additionally, a subset of the functional CREs and TREs physically interact with the Oct4 promoter to varying degrees through intra- and inter-chromosomal interactions, respectively. Comparative genomics analysis reveals that functional CREs are more conserved in terms of their regulatory sequence conservation between mouse and primates (including humans) than TREs. Notably, a few active CREs are devoid of canonical regulatory features. Taken together, our work demonstrates the reliability and robustness of ctSCAN-SMS screening to identify critical REs, and probe their roles in the regulation of transcriptional output of a target gene (in this case Oct4).
