Cytosine and adenine base editing of the brain, liver, retina, heart and skeletal muscle of mice via adeno-associated viruses

, 2023
Base editors are widely used engineered proteins that introduce targeted point mutations into DNA without creating double-stranded DNA breaks. The application of base editors to study and treat genetic diseases is dependent on their in vivo delivery into

Development of cytosine and adenine base editors for maize precision breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology
ABSTRACTBase editing technologies can improve crops, but their efficiency in maize remains suboptimal. This study attempts to overcome these limitations by examining optimized cytosine and adenine base editors (CBEs and ABEs), namely evoAPOBEC1, evoFERNY, evoCDA1, TadA8.20, and TadA8e, for precise genome editing in transient and stable expression maize

Mutant NPM1 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Initiation and Maintenance

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
NPM1 mutations drive acute myeloid leukemia by acting as neomorphic transcriptional regulators that cooperate with Menin–MLL and XPO1 to sustain HOX/MEIS1 expression and block differentiation. Targeting these mutant‐specific transcriptional dependencies provides a rational therapeutic strategy for NPM1‐mutated AML.

Artery‐on‐Chip Demonstrates Mechanical and Functional Features of Healthy and Diseased Living Smooth Muscle Tissue

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This article details the development of an artery‐on‐chip platform for in vitro arterial disease modeling and therapeutic discovery. It describes the fabrication of a fibrin biomaterial scaffold seeded with iPSC‐derived smooth muscle and endothelial cells, mimicking native artery properties. Two genetic disease models showcase the platform's ability to

Unraveling G‐Quadruplex and i‐Motif Coexistence Within a Double‐Stranded DNA

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The relative thermodynamic profiles of G‐quadruplex (G4), i‐Motif (iM), and the duplex counterpart tune the simultaneous G4 and iM formation within a double‐stranded (ds) DNA. ABSTRACT DNA can transiently fold into variable arrangements, which are expected to exploit regulatory functions. Guanine‐rich sequences can fold into G‐quadruplexes (G4s), while

Construction and optimization of a base editor based on the MS2 system

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, 2019
Background Catalytic defect Cas9‐cytosine deaminase fusion is widely used in base editing. The Multiple copy numbers of the MS2 binding site (MBS) can recruit multiple MS2 coat proteins (MCPs), which are usually applied to amplify signals.

m6A‐Mediated Glycolysis by IL‐37 Drives T Cell Metabolic Reprogramming to Regulate Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies an IL‐37/SIGIRR‐METTL14 regulatory axis that suppresses global m6A modification in CD4+ T cells. IL‐37 signaling, mediated through SIGIRR, inhibits IRAK4 and JNK phosphorylation, leading to downregulation of the methyltransferase METTL14.

Increasing TET Expression and 5‐Hydroxymethylcytosine Formation by a Carbocyclic 5‐Aza‐2′‐deoxy‐cytidine Antimetabolite

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The carbocyclic Decitabine analog (cAzadC) incorporates as an antimetabolite weakly into the genome of growing tumor cells, where it triggers a genome‐wide demethylation and a surprisingly strong hydroxymethylation of cytosine, which translates into an efficient in vivo antitumor (AML) effect.

A stable antiparallel cytosine-thymine base pair occurring only at the end of a duplex [PDF]

, 1991
Ultraviolet hyperchromicity experiments indicate that in DNA duplex formation, a C-T mismatch is destabilizing in the center of a duplex, but behaves as a stable base pair at the terminus of a duplex.

DMS‐MaPseq and DREEM Analyses Implicate the Critical Role of RNA Structural Dynamics in Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus Pathogenicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RNA structural profiling of Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus by DMS‐MaPseq and DREEM analyses uncover that viral genome‐wide RSS is highly complicated and heterogeneous, with alternative RSSs widely distributed across the genome. Notably, the viral 3’ tRNA‐like structure adopts alternative conformations in vivo.
