[Abstract]  Genetic screens using single-guide-RNA (sgRNA) libraries and CRISPR technology have been powerful to identify genetic regulators for both coding and noncoding regions of the genome. Interrogating functional elements in noncoding regions requires sgRNA libraries that are densely covering, and ideally inexpensive, easy to implement and flexible for customization. We present a Molecular Chipper protocol for generating dense sgRNA libraries from genomic regions of interest. This approach utilizes a combination of random fragmentation and a Type III restriction enzyme to derive a dense coverage of sgRNA library from input DNA. [摘要]  使用单导向RNA(sgRNA)文库和CRISPR技术的遗传筛选功能强大可以识别基因组编码区和非编码区的遗传调控因子。 在非编码区域中询问功能元件需要密集覆盖的sgRNA文库,理想的便宜,易于实现和灵活定制。 我们提出了一个分子切片方案从感兴趣的基因组区域产生密集的sgRNA文库。 该方法利用随机断裂和III型限制酶的组合从输入DNA导出sgRNA文库的致密覆盖。
【背景】使用化脓性链球菌(sp)的基因组编辑Cas9和sgRNA文库是通过产生双重缺失功能序列改变来筛选哺乳动物细胞功能性遗传调节因子的有力工具(Wiedenheft et al。,2012; Mali et al。,2013; Koike-Yusa等,2014; Shalem等,2014; Wang等,2014; Zhou等,2014)。 Cas9结合sgRNA,其可被设计为将Cas9靶向基因组中定义的基因座。 Cas9的核酸酶活性切割靶DNA位点,导致双链DNA断裂,在通过非同源末端连接途径进行DNA修复时,经常导致感兴趣的基因座短缺失。
CRISPR-Cas9系统强大的基因组编辑能力导致使用sgRNA文库来询问蛋白质编码基因以及非编码区域。通过sgRNA富集功能筛选,报告了几种用于蛋白质编码基因和/或有限数量的非编码基因的sgRNA文库,以鉴定调控特定细胞功能的基因和网络(Koike-Yusa等,2014; ...

[Abstract]  The enzyme Activation induced deaminase (AID) underpins antibody affinity maturation and isotype switching through its mutagenic activity of deaminating deoxycytidine to deoxyuridine in DNA. Subsequent processing of the deoxyuridine initiates the processes of somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) in B cells. Structure-function analysis of AID requires sensitive and biologically relevant methods to measure its various activities. Here we describe simple but effective methods to measure 1) the ability of AID to mutate the Escherichia coli genome, which provides an indication of its catalytic activity; 2) the capacity of AID to perform SHM by complementing a derivative of the DT40 chicken B cell line; 3) the ability of AID to perform CSR by complementing ... [摘要]  酶活化诱导的脱氨酶(AID)通过其将脱氧胞苷脱氨基到DNA中的脱氧尿苷的诱变活性来支持抗体亲和力成熟和同种型转换。脱氧尿苷的后续加工引发B细胞中体细胞超突变(SHM)和类型转换重组(CSR)的过程。 AID的结构功能分析需要灵敏和生物相关的方法来测量其各种活动。在这里我们描述简单但有效的方法来测量1)AID突变大肠杆菌基因组的能力,其提供其催化活性的指示; 2)AID通过补充DT40鸡B细胞系的衍生物来进行SHM的能力; 3)AID通过补充AID缺乏的原代小鼠B细胞来进行CSR的能力。三种方法的组合,伴随着AID亚细胞定位和蛋白质表达水平和稳定性的必要分析作为对照,允许AID的详细结构功能研究。
