Mammalian zygote-mediated genome-engineering by CRISPR/Cas is currently used for the generation of genome-modified animals. Here we report that a Streptococcus thermophilus-1 derived orthologous CRISPR/Cas system, which recognizes the 5'-NNAGAA sequence as a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM), is useful in mouse zygotes and is applicable for generating knockout mice (87.5%) and targeted knock-in mice (45.5%). The induced mutation could be inherited in the next generation. This novel CRISPR/Cas can expand the feasibility of the zygote-mediated generation of genome-modified animals that require an exact mutation design.
目前,通过CRISPR/Cas进行的哺乳动物合子介导的基因组工程被用于生成基因组修饰动物。在此,我们报告一种源自嗜热链球菌-1的直系同源CRISPR/Cas系统,该系统将5'-NNAGAA序列识别为原间隔相邻基序(PAM),在小鼠合子中有效,可用于生成基因敲除小鼠(87.5%)和靶向敲入小鼠(45.5%)。诱导的突变能够在下一代中遗传。这种新型的CRISPR/Cas可以扩展合子介导的基因组修饰动物生成的可行性,而这需要精确的突变设计。
