摘要
The prime editors (PEs) have shown great promise for precise genome modification. However, their suboptimal efficiencies present a significant technical challenge. Here, by appending a viral exoribonuclease-resistant RNA motif (xrRNA) to the 3′-extended portion of pegRNAs for their increased resistance against degradation, we develop an upgraded PE platform (xrPE) with substantially enhanced editing efficiencies in multiple cell lines. A pan-target average enhancement of up to 3.1-, 4.5- and 2.5-fold in given cell types is observed for base conversions, small deletions, and small insertions, respectively. Additionally, xrPE exhibits comparable edit:indel ratios and similarly minimal off-target editing as the canonical PE3. Of note, parallel comparison of xrPE to the most recently developed epegRNA-based PE system shows their largely equivalent editing performances. Our study establishes a highly adaptable platform of improved PE that shall have broad implications.

Prime编辑(PES)对精确的基因组修饰显示了巨大的希望。但是,他们的次优效率提出了重大的技术挑战。在这里,通过将耐病毒驱虫核酸酶的RNA图案(XRRNA)附加到PEGRNA的3'延伸部分,以提高对降解的耐药性,我们开发了升级的PE平台(XRPE),具有大大提高的多个细胞系中的编辑效率。在给定的细胞类型中,对于基本转换,小缺失和小插入,观察到给定细胞类型中最高3.1-,4.5和2.5倍的平均平均值增强。此外,XRPE表现出可比的编辑:indel比率和类似的最小脱靶编辑,与规范的PE3相似。值得注意的是,XRPE与最近开发的基于Epegrna的PE系统的并行比较显示了它们在很大程度上等效的编辑性能。我们的研究建立了一个高度适应性的改进的PE平台,具有广泛的影响。
