Although single-component Class 2 CRISPR systems, such as type II Cas9 or type V Cas12a (Cpf1), are widely used for genome editing in eukaryotic cells, the application of multi-component Class 1 CRISPR has been less developed. Here we demonstrate that type I-E CRISPR mediates distinct DNA cleavage activity in human cells. Notably, Cas3, which possesses helicase and nuclease activity, predominantly triggered several thousand base pair deletions upstream of the 5'-ARG protospacer adjacent motif (PAM), without prominent off-target activity. This Cas3-mediated directional and broad DNA degradation can be used to introduce functional gene knockouts and knock-ins. As an example of potential therapeutic applications, we show Cas3-mediated exon-skipping of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene in patient-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These findings broaden our understanding of the Class 1 CRISPR system, which may serve as a unique genome editing tool in eukaryotic cells distinct from the Class 2 CRISPR system.

CRISPR-Cas3在人类细胞中诱导广泛的单向基因组编辑。

尽管单组分2类CRISPR系统(例如II型Cas9或V型Cas12a(Cpf1))已广泛用于真核细胞中的基因组编辑,但多组分1类CRISPR的应用却很少开发。在这里,我们证明IE CRISPR类型在人类细胞中介导了独特的DNA裂解活性。值得注意的是,具有解旋酶和核酸酶活性的Cas3主要触发5'-ARG原间隔子相邻基序(PAM)上游数千个碱基对的缺失,而没有明显的脱靶活性。这种Cas3介导的定向降解和广泛的DNA降解可用于引入功能性基因敲除和敲入。作为潜在治疗应用的一个例子,我们在患者诱导的多能干细胞(iPSCs)中显示了Cas3介导的杜兴氏肌营养不良症(DMD)基因的外显子跳跃。
