Abstract

Programmable RNA-guided nucleases based on CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas (CRISPR-associated protein) systems have been applied to various type of cells as powerful genome editing tools. By using activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) in place of the nuclease activity of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, we have developed a genome editing tool for targeted nucleotide substitution (C to T or G to A) without donor DNA template (Figure 1; Nishida et al., 2016). Here we describe the detailed method for Target-AID to perform programmable point mutagenesis in the genome of mammalian cells. A specific method for targeting the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell was described here as an example, while this method principally should be applicable to any gene of interest in a wide range of cell types.


Figure 1. Schematic illustration for Target-AID and its targetable site. In a guide-RNA (gRNA)-dependent manner, PmCDA1 fused to nCas9 (D10A) via a linker performs programmable cytidine mutagenesis around -21 to -16 positions relative to PAM sequence on the non-complementary strand in mammalian cells. The targetable site was determined based on the efficient base substitution (> 20%) observed in the previous work.

Background

Insertion or deletion caused by DNA double strand break at the target site is efficiently induced to disrupt gene function. However, more precise genome modifications are still limited as homology directed repair is not always efficient enough in higher eukaryotes, especially when considering delivery of template DNA for in vivo genome editing. In addition, CRISPR nucleases also have some potential for off-target effect by cutting the genome (Cox et al., 2015). Target-AID demonstrated a very narrow range of targeted nucleotide modification without use of template DNA. AID can convert cytosine to uracil without DNA cleavage by deamination and then, uracil is converted to thymine or the other bases through DNA replication and/or repair. Use of uracil DNA-glycosylase inhibitor (UGI), which blocks removal of uracil in DNA and the subsequent repair pathway, rendered mutations more likely to be C to T substitutions and improved the efficiency. While a series of variable components for Target-AID had been tested such as linkage, nickase Cas9 (nCas9) and UGI in the original study, we will focus on the use of AID ortholog PmCDA1 derived from sea lamprey, fused to nCas9 or nCas9 plus UGI for simplicity. Consistent to our study, applying the rat apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide (rAPOBEC1) has also been reported as a programmable base editor (BE). Although BE targeted 5 bases surrounding the -15 position upstream of PAM (Komor et al., 2016), Target-AID can modify 3 to 6 bases surrounding the -18 position upstream PAM. More recently, it has been reported that Target-AID can be applied for precise editing of plant genome (Shimatani et al., 2017).
