Versatile CRISPR‐Cas Tools for Gene Regulation in Zebrafish via an Enhanced Q Binary System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces CRISPR‐Q, a transgenic CRISPR‐Cas system leveraging the QFvpr/QUAS binary expression platform in zebrafish. CRISPR‐Q overcomes previous challenges in achieving stable and efficient gene regulation. By enabling precise spatiotemporal control of transcript knockdown (CRISPR‐QKD) and gene activation (CRISPR‐Qa), it provides a ...

Targeted Mutagenesis Using RNA-guided Endonucleases in Mosses

Bio-Protocol, 2017
RNA-guided endonucleases (RGENs) have been used for genome editing in various organisms. Here, we demonstrate a simple method for performing targeted mutagenesis and genotyping in a model moss species, Physcomitrella patens, using RGENs.

Topological digestion drives time-varying rheology of entangled DNA fluids

Nature Communications, 2022
Understanding and controlling the rheology of polymeric complex fluids is of fundamental importance in both industry and biology. Here, Michieletto et al. show how to achieve time-dependent rheology of DNA solutions via enzymatically-driven architectural

TriCON: A Carbon‐Based Triple‐Modal Nanoplatform for Pancreatic Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We developed TriCON, a triple‐modality nanotherapeutic platform, to treat pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) by synergizing gene editing, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. TriCON utilizes CRISPR/Cas9 to target the poliovirus receptor (PVR), combined with nano‐encapsulated doxorubicin and checkpoint blockade. This approach achieved significant tumor

EPIGENETICS TODAY AND TOMORROW

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2015
Epigenetics is a science of inheritable organism properties that are not associated with changes in the DNA nucleotide sequence but can be indirectly encoded in the genome. The most known epigenetic mechanisms (signals) are enzymatic DNA methylation, the

Embedded CRISPRi Enhances Gene‐Silencing Efficiency in Drosophila

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) technology in Drosophila has limited efficiency. This study introduces the emCRISPRi platform, which significantly enhances transcriptional silencing efficacy by embedding inhibitory domains within the dCas9 architecture.

Engineering Compact Base Editors by AlphaFold‐Guided Mutation Scan and Escherichia coli‐Based Tri‐Selection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A miniaturized deaminase SsdAtox was scanned with AlphaFold to identify DNA binding pocket hot spots. Site‐saturation mutagenesis at gatekeeper residue K31 yielded ten‐fold activity enhancement. Trinity Screen, an E. coli‐based three‐in‐one platform selecting for high activity and reduced double‐strand breaks, enabled combinatorial evolution at DNA ...

The Transcription Factor FgSge1 Harnesses the SAGA Complex to Activate Mycotoxin Biosynthesis and Fungal Virulence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the molecular mechanism by which the transcription factor FgSge1 regulates mycotoxin biosynthesis and virulence in Fusarium graminearum. FgSge1 binds to the TAARGTTT cis‐element, enabling self‐activation. It recruits the SAGA complex, promotes histone acetylation, and facilitates jet‐like chromatin remodeling, thereby activating ...

Harnessing Methyltransferase‐Guided Targeting for Sequence‐Specific Proximity Labeling of DNA

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A novel methyltransferase‐mediated approach leveraging rationally designed S‐adenosyl‐L‐methionine (SAM) analogues was developed to achieve sequence‐specific DNA labeling but in proximity to the natural transfer site, addressing key limitations of previously established methods, including ligand instability and methylation‐sensitive labeling.

Glutamine Deprivation Triggers Tribbles Homolog 3 Dependent G‐Quadruplex Resolution to Maintain DNA Repair and Tumor Survival

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glutamine deprivation triggers transient DNA damage yet activates adaptive repair in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. We identify TRIB3 as a stress‐induced nuclear scaffold that associates with DDX5 and G‐quadruplex DNA atBRCA1 andRAD51AP1 promoters. TRIB3 loss increases G4 accumulation, suppresses HR gene transcription, elevates γ‐H2A.X, and sensitizes
