Abstract

Many clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat and CRISPR-associated protein 12b (CRISPR-Cas12b) nucleases have been computationally identified, yet their potential for genome editing remains largely unexplored. In this study, we conducted a GFP-activation assay screening 13 Cas12b nucleases for mammalian genome editing, identifying five active candidates. Candidatus hydrogenedentes Cas12b (ChCas12b) was found to recognize a straightforward WTN (W = T or A) proto-spacer adjacent motif (PAM), thereby dramatically expanding the targeting scope. Upon optimization of the single guide RNA (sgRNA) scaffold, ChCas12b exhibited activity comparable to SpCas9 across a panel of nine endogenous loci. Additionally, we identified nine mutations enhancing ChCas12b specificity. More importantly, we demonstrated that both ChCas12b and its high-fidelity variant, ChCas12b-D496A, enabled allele-specific disruption of genes harboring single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). These data position ChCas12b and its high-fidelity counterparts as promising tools for both fundamental research and therapeutic applications.

发现并设计用于精确基因组编辑的 ChCas12b
许多簇状规则间隔短回文重复和CRISPR相关蛋白12b(CRISPR-Cas12b)核酸酶已被计算鉴定,但它们在基因组编辑方面的潜力在很大程度上仍未被开发。在这项研究中,我们进行了一项 GFP 激活试验,筛选出 13 种可用于哺乳动物基因组编辑的 Cas12b 核酸酶,并确定了五种具有活性的候选核酸酶。研究发现,Candidatus hydrogenedentes Cas12b(ChCas12b)能直接识别WTN(W = T或A)原间隔邻接基序(PAM),从而极大地扩展了靶向范围。在对单导 RNA(sgRNA)支架进行优化后,ChCas12b 在九个内源基因位点上表现出与 SpCas9 相当的活性。此外,我们还发现了九种增强 ChCas12b 特异性的突变。更重要的是,我们证明了 ChCas12b 及其高保真变体 ChCas12b-D496A 都能对含有单核苷酸多态性(SNP)的基因进行等位基因特异性破坏。这些数据使 ChCas12b 及其高保真变体成为基础研究和治疗应用的理想工具。
