Abstract
Provided are two split single-base gene editing systems. Intein-mediated split BE3, saKKH-BE3 and ABE7.10 are separately developed by using the existing protein structure information of spCas9 and saCas9 and splitting methods thereof, and have targeted gene mutation efficiency equivalent to that of unsplit BE3, saKKH-BE3 and ABE7.10 working system, thereby making possible package into an AAV for delivery.
Claims11
A nucleic acid construct combination comprising a first nucleic acid construct and a second nucleic acid construct, wherein the first nucleic acid construct has a structure of Formula I from 5′-3′:
- P1-X1-X2-X3-Z-X4 (I);
- wherein P1 is a first promoter sequence;
- X1 is a coding sequence of cytosine deaminase or a coding sequence of adenosine deaminase;
- X2 is an optional linker sequence;
- X3 is a coding sequence of the N-terminal fragment of Cas9 nuclease or a coding sequence of the N-terminal fragment of SaKKH nuclease (Cas9n-N or SSaKKH-N);
- Z is a coding sequence of the N-terminal fragment of a first fusion peptide;
- X4 is a polyA sequence;
- the second nucleic acid construct has a structure of Formula II from 5′-3′:
