− | We designed construction of two CRISPR system guided base editor, [https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K3645008 BBa_K3645008] ABE (A → G on binding site), [https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K3645011 BBa_K3645011] CBE (C → T on binding site), see below for the fusion protein overview.

− | <p>David Liu’s lab created the first base editor in 2016 (Komor et al., 2016) and since then has been trying to
| + | |
− | expand their precision editing capabilities. Base editors make specific DNA base changes and consist of a
| + | |
− | catalytically impaired Cas protein (dCas or Cas nickase) fused to a DNA-modifying enzyme, in this case a
| + | |
− | deaminase. Base changes from C•G-to-T•A are mediated by cytosine base editors (CBEs) and base changes from
| + | |
− | A•T-to-G•C are mediated by adenine base editors (ABEs). How does this work? Through molecular biology teamwork.
| + | |
− | The guide RNA (gRNA) specifies the editing target site on the DNA, the Cas domain directs the modifying enzyme
| + | |
− | to the target site, and the deaminase induces the DNA base change without a DNA double-strand break. But base
| + | |
− | editors aren’t perfect. They may be slow, can only target certain sites, or make only a subset of base
| + | |
− | substitutions. (addgene blog by Susanna Bachle) </p>
| + | |
− | <p>We used the existing plasmids for enzyme digestion and ligation, and ePCR was added to the BioBrick connector.
| + | |
− | After multiple rounds of splicing and assembly, we obtained the ABE and CBE we needed. The schematic diagrams
| + | |
− | are as follows:</p>

| + | |
− | <p>Until 2016, precise single base changes were only possible through exploiting the homology-directed repair (HDR)
| + | |
− | pathway which occurs in cells at low frequencies and relies on the efficient delivery of donor DNA to facilitate
| + | |
− | repair. Since the development of CRISPR-mediated base editing (BE), these types of repairs can now be done more
| + | |
− | efficiently than before. A base editor precisely changes a single base with an efficiency typically ranging from
| + | |
− | 2575%, while the success of precise change via HDR limited to 0-5%. This blog post covers a brief review of
| + | |
− | different basic BE technologies and their adaptation for plant genome editing. (addgene blog by Guest Blogger) </p>
| + | |
− | <p>In 2016, two independent groups (komor et al., 2016 and Nishida et al., 2016) invented CRISPR base editor by linking
| + | |
− | cytosine deaminase with cas9 cleavage enzyme (ncas9), thus achieving accurate and efficient base rewriting in the
| + | |
− | genome. Ncas9 creates a gap in DNA by cutting only one single strand, thus greatly reducing the possibility of
| + | |
− | harmful insertion deletion. After binding with DNA, CBE deamination of target cytosine (C) into uracil (U) base.
| + | |
− | Later, the resulting U•G pairs were repaired through the cell mismatch repair mechanism to convert the original C•G
| + | |
− | pair into T•A, or reduced to the original C•G through the uracil glycosylase mediated base excision repair. The
| + | |
− | presence of UGI minimizes the second result and increases the production of required T•A base pairs. </p>

− | <h6>(Gaudelli et al., 2020.)</h6>
| + | |
− | <p>Gaudelli et al. have successfully developed an adenosine deaminase, which can act on DNA for adenine base editing.
| + | |
− | They first created a defective chloramphenicol resistance gene (CamR) by introducing a point mutation (H193Y).
| + | |
− | Reversal of this mutation by adenine base editor will restore antibiotic resistance. To find such a protein, they
| + | |
− | created a mutant library of E.coli tRNA adenosine deaminase (ecTadA), fused it with dcas9, and transformed it into
| + | |
− | E.coli containing the defective CamR gene. Screening of viable colonies and subsequent rounds of evolution and
| + | |
− | engineering produced a mutant TadA (TadA *), which accepted DNA as a substrate satisfactorily. </p>
| + | |
− | <p>
| + | |
− | The artificially evolved adenosine deaminase catalyzes the transformation of target "A" into "I" (inosine), which is
| + | |
− | regarded as "G" by cell polymerase. Subsequently, a primitive genome A•T base pair was transformed into a G•C base
| + | |
− | pair. Since inosine excision repair is not as active as uracil excision, ABE does not require any additional
| + | |
− | inhibitor proteins, such as UGI in CBE.
