AbstractWe present a CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing strategy to systematically tag endogenous proteins with fluorescent tags in human inducible pluripotent stem cells. To date we have generated multiple human iPSC lines with GFP tags for 10 proteins representing key cellular structures. The tagged proteins include alpha tubulin, beta actin, desmoplakin, fibrillarin, lamin B1, non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIB, paxillin, Sec61 beta, tight junction protein ZO1, and Tom20. Our genome editing methodology using Cas9 ribonuclear protein electroporation and fluorescence-based enrichment of edited cells resulted in <0.1-24% HDR across all experiments. Clones were generated from each edited population and screened for precise editing. ∼25% of the clones contained precise mono-allelic edits at the targeted locus. Furthermore, 92% (36/39) of expanded clonal lines satisfied key quality control criteria including genomic stability, appropriate expression and localization of the tagged protein, and pluripotency. Final clonal lines corresponding to each of the 10 cellular structures are now available to the research community. The data described here, including our editing protocol, genetic screening, quality control assays, and imaging observations, can serve as an initial resource for genome editing in cell biology and stem cell research.

AbstractProgrammable nucleases have enabled rapid and accessible genome engineering in eukaryotic cells and living organisms. However, their delivery into target cells can be technically challenging when working with primary cells or in vivo. Using engineered murine leukemia virus-like particles loaded with Cas9/sgRNA ribonucleoproteins (“Nanoblades”), we were able to induce efficient genome-editing in cell lines and primary cells including human induced pluripotent stem cells, human hematopoietic stem cells and mouse bone-marrow cells. Transgene-free Nanoblades were also capable of in vivo genome-editing in mouse embryos and in the liver of injected mice. Nanoblades can be complexed with donor DNA for “all-in-one” homology-directed repair or programmed with modified Cas9 variants to mediate transcriptional up-regulation of target genes. Nanoblades preparation process is simple, relatively inexpensive and can be easily implemented in any laboratory equipped for cellular biology.

We show that inactivation of the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) results in a drastic increase in efficiency of precise genome editing with CRISPR enzymes in human stem cells, allowing up to 79% of chromosomes to carry an intended nucleotide substitution when a single genomic site is targeted. When three different genes are simultaneously targeted, 12% of the isolated cells carry the targeted amino acid-changing substitutions in homozygous forms. These substitutions represent the first step towards resurrecting the proteome ancestral to Neandertals and modern humans. DNA-PKcs inactivation will greatly facilitate multiplexed precise genome editing in animal cells.
