With the increasing demand for the regulation of CRISPR systems, a considerable number of studies have been conducted to control their excessive activity levels. In this context, we propose a method that involves a bioorthogonal cleavage reaction between isonitrile and tetrazine to modulate the cleavage activity of the CRISPR system. Importantly, isonitrile demonstrates significant potential for modifying sgRNAs, making it a promising candidate for bioorthogonal reactions, a phenomenon that has not been previously reported. Our approach utilizes the 3-isocyanopropyl-carbonate group as a caging group to deactivate the CRISPR systems, while tetrazine acts as an activator to restore their activities. Through the implementation of post-synthetic modifications and click-and-release chemistry, we have successfully achieved the regulation of RNA-guided nucleic acid cleavage, which holds great promise for controlling gene editing in human cells.
随着对 CRISPR 系统调控需求的增加,已经有相当数量的研究致力于控制其过度的活性水平。在这种情况下,我们提出了一种方法,该方法涉及异腈和四嗪之间的生物正交裂解反应,以调节 CRISPR 系统的裂解活性。重要的是,异腈在修饰 sgRNA 方面表现出巨大的潜力,使其成为生物正交反应的有前途的候选物,这一现象以前尚未有报道。我们的方法利用 3-异氰酸丙酯基碳酸酯基团作为笼蔽基团来使 CRISPR 系统失活,而四嗪则作为激活剂来恢复其活性。通过后合成修饰和点击-释放化学,我们成功地实现了 RNA 引导的核酸切割的调控,这为控制人类细胞中的基因编辑提供了巨大的潜力。
