The Target-AID system, consisting of a complex of cytidine deaminase and deficient CRISPR/Cas9, enables highly specific genomic nucleotide substitutions without the need for template DNA. The Cas9-fused cytidine deaminase is guided by sgRNAs and catalyzes the conversion of cytosine to uracil. The resulting U-G DNA mismatches trigger nucleotide substitutions (C to T or G to A) through DNA replication and repair pathways. Target-AID also retains the benefits of conventional CRISPR/Cas9 including robustness in various organisms, high targeting efficiency, and multiplex simultaneous gene editing. Our research group recently developed plant-optimized Target-AID system and demonstrated targeted base editing in tomato and rice. In this chapter, we introduce methods for Target-AID application in tomato.
靶标-腺嘌呤脱氨酶(Target-AID)系统由胞苷脱氨酶复合物和缺陷型CRISPR/Cas9组成,无需模板DNA即可实现高度特异性的基因组核苷酸替换。与Cas9融合的胞苷脱氨酶由sgRNA引导,并催化胞嘧啶转化为尿嘧啶。由此产生的U-G DNA错配通过DNA复制和修复途径触发核苷酸替换(C到T或G到A)。靶标-腺嘌呤脱氨酶(Target-AID)系统还保留了传统CRISPR/Cas9的优点,包括在各种生物体中的稳健性、高靶向效率和多重同时基因编辑。我们的研究小组最近开发了植物优化的靶标-腺嘌呤脱氨酶(Target-AID)系统,并在番茄和水稻中证明了靶向碱基编辑。在本章中,我们介绍了靶标-腺嘌呤脱氨酶(Target-AID)系统在番茄中的应用方法。
