Simplified adenine base editors improve adenine base editing efficiency in rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, 2019
SummaryAdenine base editors (ABEs) have been exploited to introduce targeted adenine (A) to guanine (G) base conversions in various plant genomes, including rice, wheat and Arabidopsis. However, the ABEs reported thus far are all quite inefficient at many target sites in rice, which hampers their applications in plant genome engineering and crop ...

TadA orthologs enable both cytosine and adenine editing of base editors

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
AbstractCytidine and adenosine deaminases are required for cytosine and adenine editing of base editors respectively, and no single deaminase could enable concurrent and comparable cytosine and adenine editing. Additionally, distinct properties of cytidine and adenosine deaminases lead to various types of off-target effects, including Cas9-indendepent ...

Sequence-specific prediction of the efficiencies of adenine and cytosine base editors

open access: yesNature Biotechnology, 2020
Base editors, including adenine base editors (ABEs)1 and cytosine base editors (CBEs)2,3, are widely used to induce point mutations. However, determining whether a specific nucleotide in its genomic context can be edited requires time-consuming experiments.

Precise genome editing with base editors

open access: yesMedical Review, 2023
Single-nucleotide variants account for about half of known pathogenic genetic variants in human. Genome editing strategies by reversing pathogenic point mutations with minimum side effects have great therapeutic potential and are now being actively ...

Discovery of novel disease-causing mutation in SSBP1 and its correction using adenine base editor to improve mitochondrial function. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Ther Nucleic Acids
Mutations in nuclear genes regulating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication are associated with mtDNA depletion syndromes. Using whole-genome sequencing, we identified fi ed a heterozygous mutation (c.272G>A:p.Arg91Gln) in single-stranded DNA-binding ...

Development of plant cytosine base editors with the Cas12a system

open access: yesCrop Journal, 2023
Base editors of the Cas9 system have been widely used for precise nucleotide substitution in crops. In this study, Cas12a was applied to construct plant cytosine base editors (CBEs).

Adenine Base Editing in an Adult Mouse Model of Tyrosinaemia

open access: yes, 2022
Unlike traditional CRISPR-Cas9 homology-directed repair, base editing can correct point mutations without supplying a DNA-repair template. Here, we show in a mouse model of tyrosinemia that hydrodynamic tail-vein injection of plasmid DNA encoding the ...

Cytosine and adenine deaminase base-editors induce broad and nonspecific changes in gene expression and splicing

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Jiao Fan, Yige Ding, et al. examine the impact of cytosine and adenine deaminases on transcriptome-wide gene expression and splicing in HeLa and HEK293T cells.

Targeted Mutagenesis in Mice Using a Base Editor

open access: yes, 2023
Base editors, such as cytosine and adenine base editors, are composed of nickase Cas9 (nCas9) and deaminase and serve as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-based enzymatic tools for specific nucleotide substitutions.

In vivo adenine base editing corrects newborn murine model of Hurler syndrome

open access: yesMolecular Biomedicine, 2023
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a severe disease caused by loss-of-function mutation variants in the α-L-iduronidase (Idua) gene. In vivo genome editing represents a promising strategy to correct Idua mutations, and has the potential to ...
