RESUMO

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) serves as a precursor for NAD+ synthesis and has been shown to have positive effects on the human body. Previous research has predominantly focused on the nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase-mediated route (NadV-mediated route) for NMN biosynthesis. In this study, we have explored the de novo NMN biosynthesis route as an alternative pathway to enhance NMN production. Initially, we systematically engineered Escherichia coli to enhance its capacity for NMN synthesis and accumulation, resulting in a remarkable over 100-fold increase in NMN yield. Subsequently, we progressively enhanced the de novo NMN biosynthesis route to further augment NMN production. We screened and identified the crucial role of MazG in catalyzing the enzymatic cleavage of NAD+ to NMN. And the de novo NMN biosynthesis route was optimized and integrated with the NadV-mediated NMN biosynthetic pathways, leading to an intracellular concentration of 844.10 ± 17.40 µM NMN. Furthermore, the introduction of two transporters enhanced the uptake of NAM and the excretion of NMN, resulting in NMN production of 1293.73 ± 61.38 µM. Finally, by engineering an E. coli strain with optimized PRPP synthetase, we achieved the highest NMN production, reaching 3067.98 ± 27.25 µM after 24 h of fermentation at the shake flask level. In addition to constructing an efficient E. coli cell factory for NMN production, our findings provide new insights into understanding the NAD+ salvage pathway and its role in energy metabolism within E. coli.

RESUMO

The natural process of evolutionary adaptation is often exploited as a powerful tool to obtain microbes with desirable traits. For industrial microbes, evolutionary engineering is often used to generate variants that show increased yields or resistance to stressful industrial environments, thus obtaining superior microbial cell factories. However, even in large populations, the natural supply of beneficial mutations is typically low, which implies that obtaining improved microbes is often time-consuming and inefficient. To overcome this limitation, different techniques have been developed that boost mutation rates. While some of these methods simply increase the overall mutation rate across a genome, others use recent developments in DNA synthesis, synthetic biology, and CRISPR-Cas techniques to control the type and location of mutations. This review summarizes the most important recent developments and methods in the field of evolutionary engineering in model microorganisms. It discusses how both in vitro and in vivo approaches can increase the genetic diversity of the host, with a special emphasis on in vivo techniques for the optimization of metabolic pathways for precision fermentation.

RESUMO

Base editors show promise for treating human genetic diseases, but most current systems use deaminases, which cause off-target effects and are limited in editing type. In this study, we constructed deaminase-free base editors for cytosine (DAF-CBE) and thymine (DAF-TBE), which contain only a cytosine-DNA or a thymine-DNA glycosylase (CDG/TDG) variant, respectively, tethered to a Cas9 nickase. Multiple rounds of mutagenesis by directed evolution in Escherichia coli generated two variants with enhanced base-converting activity-CDG-nCas9 and TDG-nCas9-with efficiencies of up to 58.7% for C-to-A and 54.3% for T-to-A. DAF-BEs achieve C-to-G/T-to-G editing in mammalian cells with minimal Cas9-dependent and Cas9-independent off-target effects as well as minimal RNA off-target effects. Additional engineering resulted in DAF-CBE2/DAF-TBE2, which exhibit altered editing windows from the 5' end to the middle of the protospacer and increased C-to-G/T-to-G editing efficiency of 3.5-fold and 1.2-fold, respectively. Compared to prime editing or CGBEs, DAF-BEs expand conversion types of base editors with similar efficiencies, smaller sizes and lower off-target effects.

RESUMO

T7 RNA polymerase (T7RNAP) has been fused with cytosine or adenine deaminase individually, enabling in vivo C-to-T or A-to-G transitions on DNA sequence downstream of T7 promoter, and greatly accelerated directed protein evolution. However, its base conversion type is limited. In this study, we created a dual-functional system for simultaneous C-to-T and A-to-G in vivo mutagenesis, called T7-DualMuta, by fusing T7RNAP with both cytidine deaminase (PmCDA1) and a highly active adenine deaminase (TadA-8e). The C-to-T and A-to-G mutagenesis frequencies of T7-DualMuta were 4.02 × 10-3 and 1.20 × 10-2, respectively, with 24 h culturing and distributed mutations evenly across the target gene. The T7-DualMuta system was used to in vivo directed evolution of L-homoserine transporter RhtA, resulting in efficient variants that carried the four types of base conversions by T7-DualMuta. The evolved variants greatly increased the host growth rates at L-homoserine concentrations of 8 g/L, which was not previously achieved, and demonstrated the great in vivo evolution capacity. The novel molecular device T7-DualMuta efficiently provides both C/G-to-T/A and A/T-to-G/C mutagenesis on target regions, making it useful for various applications and research in Enzymology and Synthetic Biology studies. It also represents an important expansion of the base editing toolbox.ImportanceA T7-DualMuta system for simultaneous C-to-T and A-to-G in vivo mutagenesis was created. The mutagenesis frequency was 4.02 × 107 fold higher than the spontaneous mutation, which was reported to be approximately 10-10 bases per nucleotide per generation. This mutant system can be utilized for various applications and research in Enzymology and Synthetic Biology studies.

RESUMO

Base editing technology is an ideal solution for treating pathogenic single-nucleotide variations (SNVs). No gene editing therapy has yet been approved for eye diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Here, we show, in the rd10 mouse model, which carries an SNV identified as an RP-causing mutation in human patients, that subretinal delivery of an optimized dual adeno-associated virus system containing the adenine base editor corrects the pathogenic SNV in the neuroretina with up to 49% efficiency. Light microscopy showed that a thick and robust outer nuclear layer (photoreceptors) was preserved in the treated area compared with the thin, degenerated outer nuclear layer without treatment. Substantial electroretinogram signals were detected in treated rd10 eyes, whereas control treated eyes showed minimal signals. The water maze experiment showed that the treatment substantially improved vision-guided behavior. Together, we construct and validate a translational therapeutic solution for the treatment of RP in humans. Our findings might accelerate the development of base-editing based gene therapies.

RESUMO

Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is a promising electroactive microorganism in environmental bioremediation, bioenergy generation, and bioproduct synthesis. Accelerating the extracellular electron transfer (EET) pathway that enables efficient electron exchange between microbes and extracellular substances is critical for improving its electrochemical properties. However, the potential genomic engineering strategies for enhancing EET capabilities are still limited. Here, we developed a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-mediated dual-deaminase base editing system, named in situ protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM)-flexible dual base editing regulatory system (iSpider), for precise and high-throughput genomic manipulation. The iSpider enabled simultaneous C-to-T and A-to-G conversions with high diversity and efficiency in S. oneidensis. By weakening DNA glycosylase-based repair pathway and tethering two copies of adenosine deaminase, the A-to-G editing efficiency was obviously improved. As a proof-of-concept study, the iSpider was adapted to achieve multiplexed base editing for the regulation of the riboflavin biosynthesis pathway, and the optimized strain showed an approximately three-fold increase in riboflavin production. Moreover, the iSpider was also applied to evolve the performance of an inner membrane component CymA implicated in EET, and one beneficial mutant facilitating electron transfer could be rapidly identified. Taken together, our study demonstrates that the iSpider allows efficient base editing in a PAM-flexible manner, providing insights into the design of novel genomic tools for Shewanella engineering.

RESUMO

C-to-G base editors have been successfully constructed recently, but limited work has been done on concurrent C-to-G and A-to-G base editing. In addition, there is also limited data on how chromatin-associated factors affect the base editing. Here, we test a series of chromatin-associated factors, and chromosomal protein HMGN1 was found to enhance the efficiency of both C-to-G and A-to-G base editing. By fusing HMGN1, GBE and ABE to Cas9, we develop a CRISPR-based dual-function A-to-G and C-to-G base editor (GGBE) which is capable of converting simultaneous A and C to G conversion with substantial editing efficiency. Accordingly, the HMGN1 role shown in this work and the resulting GGBE tool further broaden the genome manipulation capacity of CRISPR-directed base editors.

RESUMO

Imperfect -gRNA (igRNA) provides a simple strategy for single-base editing of a base editor. However, a significant number of igRNAs need to be generated and tested for each target locus to achieve efficient single-base reversion of pathogenic single nucleotide variations (SNVs), which hinders the direct application of this technology. To provide ready-to-use igRNAs for single-base and bystander-less correction of all the adenine base editor (ABE)-reversible pathogenic SNVs, we employed a high-throughput method to edit all 5,253 known ABE-reversible pathogenic SNVs, each with multiple systematically designed igRNAs, and two libraries of 96,000 igRNAs were tested. A total of 1,988 SNV loci could be single-base reversed by igRNA with a >30% efficiency. Among these 1,988 loci, 378 SNV loci exhibited an efficiency of more than 90%. At the same time, the bystander editing efficiency of 76.62% of the SNV loci was reduced to 0%, while remaining below 1% for another 18.93% of the loci. These ready-to-use igRNAs provided the best solutions for a substantial portion of the 4,657 pathogenic/likely pathogenic SNVs. In this work, we overcame one of the most significant obstacles of base editors and provide a ready-to-use platform for the genetic treatment of diseases caused by ABE-reversible SNVs.

RESUMO

Synthetic biology has been represented by the creation of artificial life forms at the genomic scale. In this work, a CRISPR-based chromosome-doubling technique is designed to first construct an artificial diploid Escherichia coli cell. The stable single-cell diploid E. coli is isolated by both maximal dilution plating and flow cytometry, and confirmed with quantitative PCR, fluorescent in situ hybridization, and third-generation genome sequencing. The diploid E. coli has a greatly reduced growth rate and elongated cells at 4-5 µm. It is robust against radiation, and the survival rate after exposure to UV increased 40-fold relative to WT. As a novel life form, the artificial diploid E. coli is an ideal substrate for research fundamental questions in life science concerning polyploidy. And this technique may be applied to other bacteria.

RESUMO

Prime editing is a versatile gene editing tool that enables precise sequence changes of all types in the genome, but its application is rather limited by the editing efficiency. Here, we first apply the Suntag system to recruit the transcription factor P65 and enhance the desired editing outcomes in the prime editing system. Next, MS2 hairpins are used to recruit MS2-fused P65 and confirmed that the recruitment of the P65 protein could effectively improve the prime editing efficiency in both the PE3 and PE5 systems. Moreover, this suggests the increased editing efficiency is most likely associated with the induction of chromatin accessibility change by P65. In conclusion, we apply different systems to recruit P65 and enhance the prime editing efficiency of various PE systems. Furthermore, our work provides a variety of methods to work as protein scaffolds for screening target factors and thus supports further optimization of prime editing systems.

RESUMO

Due to its intrinsic RNA properties, guide RNA (gRNA) is the least stable component of the CRISPR-Cas9 complex and is a major target for modification and engineering to increase the stability of the system. While most strategies involve chemical modification and special processes, we created a more stable gRNA with an easy-to-use biological technique. Since circular RNAs are theoretically immune to all RNA exonucleases, we attempted to construct a circular gRNA (cgRNA) employing the autocatalytic splicing mechanism of the RNA cyclase ribozyme. First, the formation of the cgRNA, which has a length requirement, was optimized in vivo in E. coli cells. It was found that a cgRNA with an insert length of 251 bp, designated 251cgRNA, was functional. More importantly, cgRNA increased the editing efficiency of the tested base editors relative to normal linear gRNA. The cgRNAs were more stable in vitro under all tested temperature conditions and maintained their function for 24 h at 37 °C, while linear gRNAs completely lost their activity within 8 h. Enzymatically purified 251cgRNA demonstrated even higher stability, which was obviously presented on gels after 48 h at 37 °C, and maintained partial function. By inserting a homologous arm into the 251cgRNA to 251HAcgRNA cassette, the circularization efficiency reached 88.2%, and the half-life of 251HAcgRNA was 30 h, very similar to that of purified 251cgRNA. This work provides a simple innovative strategy to greatly increase the stability of gRNA both in vivo in E. coli and in vitro, with no additional cost or labor. We think this work is very interesting and might revolutionize the form of gRNAs people are using in research and therapeutic applications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Natural life systems can be significantly modified at the genomic scale by human intervention, demonstrating the great innovation capacity of genome engineering. Large epi-chromosomal DNA structures were established in Escherichia coli cells, but some of these methods were inconvenient, using heterologous systems, or relied on engineered E. coli strains. RESULTS: The wild-type model bacterium E. coli has a single circular chromosome. In this work, a novel method was developed to split the original chromosome of wild-type E. coli. With this method, novel E. coli strains containing two chromosomes of 0.10 Mb and 4.54 Mb, and 2.28 Mb and 2.36 Mb were created respectively, designated as E. coli0.10/4.54 and E. coli2.28/2.36. The new chromosomal arrangement was proved by PCR amplification of joint regions as well as a combination of Nanopore and Illumina sequencing analysis. While E. coli0.10/4.54 was quite stable, the two chromosomes of E. coli2.28/2.36 population recombined into a new chromosome (Chr.4.64MMut), via recombination. Both engineered strains grew slightly slower than the wild-type, and their cell shapes were obviously elongated. CONCLUSION: Finally, we successfully developed a simple CRISPR-based genome engineering technique for the construction of multi-chromosomal E. coli strains with no heterologous genetic parts. This technique might be applied to other prokaryotes for synthetic biology studies and applications in the future.

RESUMO

A great number of cell disease models with pathogenic SNVs are needed for the development of genome editing based therapeutics or broadly basic scientific research. However, the generation of traditional cell disease models is heavily dependent on large-scale manual operations, which is not only time-consuming, but also costly and error-prone. In this study, we devise an automated high-throughput platform, through which thousands of samples are automatically edited within a week, providing edited cells with high efficiency. Based on the large in situ genome editing data obtained by the automatic high-throughput platform, we develop a Chromatin Accessibility Enabled Learning Model (CAELM) to predict the performance of cytosine base editors (CBEs), both chromatin accessibility and the context-sequence are utilized to build the model, which accurately predicts the result of in situ base editing. This work is expected to accelerate the development of BE-based genetic therapies.

RESUMO

Expanding the base conversion type is expected to largely broaden the application of base editing, whereas it requires decipherment of the machinery controlling the editing outcome. Here, we discovered that the DNA polymerase V-mediated translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) pathway controlled the C-to-A editing by a glycosylase base editor (GBE) in Escherichia coli. However, C-to-G conversion was surprisingly found to be the main product of the GBE in Corynebacterium glutamicum and subsequent gene inactivation identified the decisive TLS enzymes. Introduction of the E. coli TLS pathway into a TLS-deficient C. glutamicum mutant completely changed the GBE outcome from C-to-G to C-to-A. Combining the canonical C-to-T editor, a pioneering C-to-N base editing toolbox was established in C. glutamicum. The expanded base conversion capability produces greater genetic diversity and promotes the application of base editing in gene inactivation and protein evolution. This study demonstrates the possibility of engineering TLS systems to develop advanced genome editing tools.

RESUMO

Base editors (BEs) are a group of genetic tools with potential in both scientific and medical research. Recently, a glycosylase BE (GBE), which converts C to G, has been constructed. However, the editing efficiency and targeting scope remains to be further exploited. Here, we renovate the GBE by first fusing it to various transactivation modules including Vp64, leading to a higher conversion of C to G relative to GBE in HEK293T cells. Further, higher editing efficiency, enhanced editing purity, and an enlarged editing window are acquired by the combination of SunTag system, GBE, and VP64. Finally, a SpRY-Cas9 variant is used to expand the targeting scope for Vp64-GBE. Vp64-SpRY-GBE and SpRY-GBE target genomic sites with non-NGG PAM, and Vp64-SpRY-GBE demonstrates better performance compared with SpRY-GBE. The construction of GBE variants with superior performance and versatile editing scope broadens the toolbox of BEs and may contribute to genetic therapies with C-to-G mutation.

RESUMO

Base editing events in eukaryote require a compatible chromatin environment, but there is little research on how chromatin factors contribute to the editing efficiency or window. By engineering BEs (base editors) fused with various pioneer factors, the authors found that SOX2 substantially increased the editing efficiency for GBE and CBE. While SoxN-GBE (SOX2-NH3-GBE) improved the editing efficiency at overall cytosines of the protospacer, SoxM-GBE/CBE (SOX2-Middle-GBE/CBE) enabled the higher base editing at PAM-proximal cytosines. By separating functional domains of SOX2, the SadN-GBE (SOX2 activation domain-NH3-GBE) is constructed for higher editing efficiency and SadM-CBE for broader editing window to date. With the DNase I assay, it is also proved the increased editing efficiency is most likely associated with the induction of chromatin accessibility by SAD. Finally, SadM-CBE is employed to introduce a stop codon in the proto-oncogene MYC, at a locus rarely edited by previous editors with high efficiency. In this work, a new class of pioneer-BEs is constructed by fusion of pioneer factor or its functional domains, which exhibits higher editing efficiency or broader editing window in eukaryote.

RESUMO

Base editing techniques were developed for precise base conversion on cellular genomic DNA, which has great potential for the treatment of human genetic diseases. The glycosylase base editor (GBE) recently developed in our lab was used to perform C-to-G transversions in mammalian cells. To improve the application prospects of GBE, it is necessary to further increase its performance. With this aim, we replaced the human Ung in GBE with Ung1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The resulting editor APOBEC-nCas9-Ung1 was tested at 17 chromosomal loci and was found to have an increased C-to-G editing efficiency ranging from 2.63% to 52.3%, with an average of 23.48%, which was a significant improvement over GBE, with an average efficiency of 15.54%, but with a decreased purity. For further improvement, we constructed APOBEC(R33A)-nCas9-Rad51-Ung1 with two beneficial modifications adapted from previous reports. This base editor was able to achieve even higher editing efficiency ranging from 8.70% to 72.1%, averaging 30.88%, while also exhibiting high C-to-G purity ranging from 35.57% to 92.92%, and was designated GBE2.0. GBE2.0 provides high C-to-G editing efficiency and purity in mammalian cells, making it a powerful genetic tool for scientific research or potential genetic therapies for disease-causing G/C mutations.

RESUMO

Biomaterials offer unique properties that make them irreplaceable for next-generation applications. Fibrous proteins, such as various caterpillar silks and especially spider silk, have strength and toughness not found in human-made materials. In early studies, proteins containing long tandem repeats, such as major ampullate spidroin 1 (MaSp1) and flagelliform silk protein (FSLP), were produced using a large DNA template composed of many tandem repeats. The hierarchical DNA assembly of the DNA template is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, which makes the fibrous proteins difficult to study and engineer. In this study, we designed a circularized mRNA (cmRNA) employing the RNA cyclase ribozyme mechanism. cmRNAs encoding spider silk protein MaSp1 and FSLP were designed based on only one unit of the template sequence but provide ribosomes with a circular and infinite translation template for production of long peptides containing tandem repeats. Using this technique, cmRNAs of MaSp1 and FSLP were successfully generated with circularization efficiencies of 8.5% and 36.7%, respectively, which supported the production of recombinant MaSp1 and FSLP larger than 110 and 88 kDa, containing tens of repeat units. Western blot analysis and mass spectrometry confirmed the authenticity of MaSp1 and FSLP, which were produced at titers of 22.1 and 81.5 mg · liter-1, respectively. IMPORTANCE Spider silk is a biomaterial with superior properties. However, its heterologous expression template is hard to construct. The cmRNA technique simplifies the construction and expression strategy by proving the ribosome a circular translation template for expression of long peptides containing tandem repeats. This revolutionary technique will allow researchers to easily build, study, and experiment with any fiber proteins with sequences either from natural genes or artificial designs. We expect a significantly accelerated development of fibrous protein-based biomaterials with the cmRNA technique.
