Establishment of an efficient early flowering-assisted CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system in Arabidopsis.
Ectopic expression of the florigen FT gene along with the Cas9 cassette promotes fast reproduction of the T1 transgenic plants, and the late-flowering phenotype serves as a convenient marker for transgene-free plants screening in T2 segregation population.

Optimizing ErCas12a for efficient gene editing in Arabidopsis thaliana.
The ErCas12a nuclease, also known as MAD7, is part of a CRISPR/Cas system from Eubacterium rectale and distantly related to Cas12a nucleases. As it shares only 31% sequence homology with the commonly used AsCas12a, its intellectual property may not be covered by the granted patent rights for Cas12a nucleases. Thus, ErCas12a became an attractive alternative for practical applications. However, the editing efficiency of ErCas12a is strongly target sequence- and temperature-dependent. Therefore, optimization of the enzyme activity through protein engineering is especially attractive for its application in plants, as they are cultivated at lower temperatures. Based on the knowledge obtained from the optimization of Cas12a nucleases, we opted to improve the gene editing efficiency of ErCas12a by introducing analogous amino acid exchanges. Interestingly, neither of these mutations analogous to those in the enhanced or Ultra versions of AsCas12a resulted in significant editing enhancement of ErCas12a in Arabidopsis thaliana. However, two different mutations, V156R and K172R, in putative alpha helical structures of the enzyme showed a detectable improvement in editing. By combining these two mutations, we obtained an improved ErCas12a (imErCas12a) variant, showing several-fold increase in activity in comparison to the wild-type enzyme in Arabidopsis. This variant yields strong editing efficiencies at 22 °C which could be further increased by raising the cultivation temperature to 28 °C and even enabled editing of formerly inaccessible targets. Additionally, no enhanced off-site activity was detected. Thus, imErCas12a is an economically attractive and efficient alternative to other CRISPR/Cas systems for plant genome engineering.

ZEB1 and ZEB2 gene editing mediated by CRISPR/Cas9 in A549 cell line.
OBJECTIVES: One of the best approaches for recognition of protein function is the induction of mutations for a gene knockout. In line with this strategy, gene editing tools allow researchers to induce these mutations. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. ZEB1 and ZEB2 genes are the candidates for this disease. METHODS: The ZEB1 and ZEB2 knockout in the non-small cell lung cancer cell line (A549 cell) was investigated. Purification of recombination plasmids was performed from bacteria and then was transported to the A549 cell line. The deletion of ZEB1 and ZEB2 were examined by PCR. RESULTS: The results demonstrated the mutation and deletion in ZEB1 and ZEB2 genes. Based on the findings of this study, A549 cells were transfected with the vectors carrying the sgRNA/Cas9, simultaneously. The DNA fragment demonstrated the presence of indels in target sites as well as provided the potential of CRISPR/Cas9 system. CONCLUSION: CRISPR/Cas9 offers a great potential as an efficient technique for editing of ZEB1 and ZEB2 genes in A549 cell line (Tab. 1, Fig. 6, Ref. 44).

High efficiency CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system with an eliminable episomal sgRNA plasmid in Pichia pastoris.
Pichia pastoris is a methylotrophic yeast in which host heterologous expression of proteins has been developed owing to the strong inducible alcohol oxidase promoter (PAOX1). However, it is difficult to manipulate the genome in P. pastoris. Based on previous attempts to apply the CRISPR/Cas9 system in P. pastoris, a CRISPR/Cas9 system with episomal sgRNA plasmid was developed and 100 % genome editing efficiency, high multicopy gene editing and stable multigene editing were obtained without a sharp decline caused by multi-sgRNA. And 28/34 (∼82 %) sgRNAs tested were effective. The CGG may have a slightly higher and more stable cleavage efficiency than the other three NGG motifs, and a low GC content may be preferable for higher cleavage efficiency. This provides researchers with a stable genome editing tool that shows a high editing efficiency, shortening the experimentation period. Furthermore, we introduced dCas9 into P. pastoris and achieved target gene interference, expanding the CRISPR/Cas9 toolbox in P. pastoris.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing induces exon skipping by complete or stochastic altering splicing in the migratory locust.
BACKGROUND: The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been widely used to generate gene knockout/knockin models by inducing frameshift mutants in cell lines and organisms. Several recent studies have reported that such mutants can lead to in-frame exon skipping in cell lines. However, there was little research about post-transcriptional effect of CRISPR-mediated gene editing in vivo. RESULTS: We showed that frameshift indels also induced complete or stochastic exon skipping by deleting different regions to influence pre-mRNA splicing in vivo. In the migratory locust, the missing 55 bp at the boundary of intron 3 and exon 4 of an olfactory receptor gene, LmigOr35, resulted in complete exon 4 skipping, whereas the lacking 22 bp in exon 4 of LmigOr35 only resulted in stochastic exon 4 skipping. A single sgRNA induced small insertions or deletions at the boundary of intron and exon to disrupt the 3' splicing site causing completely exon skipping, or alternatively induce small insertions or deletions in the exon to stochastic alter splicing causing the stochastic exon skipping. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicated that complete or stochastic exon skipping could result from the CRISPR-mediated genome editing by deleting different regions of the gene. Although exon skipping caused by CRISPR-mediated editing was an unexpected outcome, this finding could be developed as a technology to investigate pre-mRNA splicing or to cure several human diseases caused by splicing mutations.

Targeted Gene Editing of Nuclear-Encoded Plastid Proteins in Phaeodactylum tricornutum via CRISPR/Cas9.
Genome modifications in microalgae have emerged as a crucial and indispensable tool for research in fundamental and applied biology. In particular, CRISPR/Cas9 has gained significant recognition as a highly effective method for genome engineering in these photosynthetic organisms, enabling the targeted induction of mutations in specific regions of the genome. Here, we present a comprehensive protocol for generating knock-out mutants in the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum using CRISPR/Cas9 by both biolistic transformation and bacterial conjugation. Our protocol outlines the step-by-step procedures and experimental conditions required to achieve successful genome editing, including the design and construction of guide RNAs, the delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 components into the algae cells, and the selection of the generated knockout mutants. Through the implementation of this protocol, researchers can harness the potential of CRISPR/Cas9 in P. tricornutum to advance the understanding of diatom biology and explore their potential applications in various fields.

CRISPR-Cas12a system in fission yeast for multiplex genomic editing and CRISPR interference.
The CRISPR-Cas12a is a class II, type V clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) system with both RNase and DNase activity. Compared to the CRISPR-Cas9 system, it recognizes T-rich PAM sequences and has the advantage of multiplex genomic editing. Here, in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we successfully implemented the CRISPR-Cas12a system for versatile genomic editing and manipulation. In addition to the rrk1 promoter, we used new pol II promoters from endogenous coding genes to express crRNA for Cas12a and obtained a much higher editing efficiency. This new design expands the promoter choices for potential applications in fission yeast and other organisms. In addition, we expressed a gRNA array using a strong constitutive pol II promoter. The array transcript is processed by Cas12a itself to release multiple mature crRNAs. With this construct, multiplex genomic editing of up to three loci was achieved from a single yeast transformation. We also built a CRISPR interference system using a DNase-dead Cas12a to significantly repress endogenous gene expression. Our study provides the first CRISPR-Cas12a toolkit for efficient and rapid genomic gene editing and regulation in fission yeast.

CRISPR/Cas9-based multiplex genome editing of BCL11A and HBG efficiently induces fetal hemoglobin expression.
Beta-hemoglobinopathies are caused by mutations in the β-globin gene. One strategy to cure this disease relies on re-activating the γ-globin expression. BCL11A is an important transcription factor that suppresses the γ-globin expression, which makes it one of the most promising therapeutic targets in β-hemoglobinopathies. Here, we performed single-gene editing and multiplex gene editing via CRISPR/Cas9 technology to edit BCL11A erythroid-specific enhancer and BCL11A binding site on γ-globin gene promoter in HUDEP-2 cells and adult human CD34+ cells. Multiplex gene editing led to higher γ-globin expression than single-gene editing without inhibiting erythroid differentiation. By further optimizing the on-target DNA editing efficiency of multiplex gene editing, the percentage of F-cells exceeded 50% in HUDEP-2 cells. Amplicon deep sequencing and whole genome sequencing were used to detect the editing frequency of on- and potential off-target sites in CD34+ cells. No off-target mutations were detected, suggesting its accuracy in HSPCs. In summary, our study provides a new approach which can be used for the treatment of β-hemoglobinopathies in the future.
