Evolution of an adenine base editor into a small, efficient cytosine base editor with low off-target activity. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Biotechnol, 2023
AbstractCytosine base editors (CBEs) are larger and can suffer from higher off-target activity or lower on-target editing efficiency than current adenine base editors (ABEs). To develop a CBE that retains the small size, low off-target activity and high on-target activity of current ABEs, we evolved the highly active deoxyadenosine deaminase TadA-8e to

Analysis of Cytosine Base Editors in Bovine Zygotes: Efficiency and Editing Window Characterization Through Targeting the MYO7A Gene [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology
Cytosine base editors (CBEs) enable precise C-to-T (G-to-A) conversions in genomic DNA, offering significant potential for specific gene editing. This study compared the prototypical Base Editor 3 (BE3) and a modified variant, BE3-Y130F, which utilizes ...

Cytosine base editor 4 but not adenine base editor generates off-target mutations in mouse embryos. [PDF]

open access: yesCommun Biol, 2020
AbstractDeaminase base editing has emerged as a tool to install or correct point mutations in the genomes of living cells in a wide range of organisms. However, the genome-wide off-target effects introduced by base editors in the mammalian genome have been examined in only one study.

Adenine base editor engineering reduces editing of bystander cytosines [PDF]

open access: yesNature Biotechnology, 2021
Adenine base editors (ABEs) catalyze specific A-to-G conversions at genomic sites of interest. However, ABEs also induce cytosine deamination at the target site. To reduce the cytosine editing activity, we engineered a commonly used adenosine deaminase, TadA7.10, and found that ABE7.10 with a D108Q mutation in TadA7.10 exhibited tenfold reduced ...

Cytosine-to-Uracil Deamination by SssI DNA Methyltransferase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The prokaryotic DNA(cytosine-5)methyltransferase M.SssI shares the specificity of eukaryotic DNA methyltransferases (CG) and is an important model and experimental tool in the study of eukaryotic DNA methylation.

Development of an Efficient C-to-T Base-Editing System and Its Application to Cellulase Transcription Factor Precise Engineering in Thermophilic Fungus Myceliophthora thermophila

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Myceliophthora thermophila is a thermophilic fungus with great potential in biorefineries and biotechnology. The base editor is an upgraded version of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-dependent genome-editing tool ...

Base Editors for Citrus Gene Editing

open access: yesFrontiers in Genome Editing, 2022
Base editors, such as adenine base editors (ABE) and cytosine base editors (CBE), provide alternatives for precise genome editing without generating double-strand breaks (DSBs), thus avoiding the risk of genome instability and unpredictable outcomes ...
