Genetic Modulation of RNA Splicing with a CRISPR-Guided Cytidine Deaminase.

Molecular cell | 2018

RNA splicing is a critical mechanism by which to modify transcriptome, and its dysregulation is the underlying cause of many human diseases. It remains challenging, however, to genetically modulate a splicing event in its native context. Here, we demonstrate that a CRISPR-guided cytidine deaminase (i.e., targeted-AID mediated mutagenesis [TAM]) can efficiently modulate various forms of mRNA splicing. By converting invariant guanines to adenines at either 5' or 3' splice sites (SS), TAM induces exon skipping, activation of alternative SS, switching between mutually exclusive exons, or targeted intron retention. Conversely, TAM promotes downstream exon inclusion by mutating cytidines into thymines at the polypyrimidine tract. Applying this approach, we genetically restored the open reading frame and dystrophin function of a mutant DMD gene in patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Thus, the CRISPR-guided cytidine deaminase provides a versatile genetic platform to modulate RNA splicing and to correct mutations associated with aberrant splicing in human diseases.

Addgene (tool)

RRID:SCR_002037

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.

wANNOVAR (service resource)

RRID:SCR_000565

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 6,2023. Web interface to the ANNOVAR software, a tool to annotate functional consequences of genetic variation from high-throughput sequencing data, to help biologists without bioinformatics skills to easily submit a list of mutations (even whole-genome variants calls) to the web server, select the desired annotation categories, and receive functional annotation back by emails. Given a list of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and insertions / deletions in VCF or ANNOVAR input format, wANNOVAR annotates their functional effects on genes (such as amino acid changes for non-synonymous SNPs), calculate their predicted functional importance scores (such as SIFT and PolyPhen scores), retrieve allele frequencies in public databases (such as the 1000 Genomes Project and NHLBI-ESP 6500 exomes), and implement a variants reduction protocol to identify a subset of potentially deleterious variants.
