Shen Lab DdCBE assembly kit
(Kit # 1000000212 )

Depositing Lab:   Bin Shen

The DddA-derived cytosine base editor (DdCBE) assembly kit is a collection of 192 modules harboring repeat variable di-residue (RVD) arrays for any desired target. With the components of this kit, DdCBE expression plasmids for a desired target can be obtained within 36 hours using Golden Gate assembly.

This kit will be sent as bacterial glycerol stocks in 96-well plate format.

Description

DdCBEs, composed of split interbacterial cytidine deaminase toxin, DddA, transcription activator-like effector (TALE), and uracil glycosylase inhibitor (UGI), targets gene editing either to nuclear genes or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) based on the presence of a nuclear localization signal (NLS) or mitochondrial targeting signal (MTS).

Several approaches have been developed to build TALEs using assemble custom repeat variable di-residues (RVD) arrays, most of which are time-consuming, costly, and unfriendly to ordinary laboratories. To establish a cost-effective, robust, and rapid solution suitable for mitochondria base editing, an RVD plasmid library was constructed that includes 192 modules (Figure 1a): 160 dimer RVD, 16 monomer RVD, and 16 half RVD modules.Two sets of DdCBE backbone plasmids, MTS-DdCBE and NLS-DdCBE, with mitochondrial or nuclear localization signal peptide (Figure 1b and 1c) are available as accessory plasmids. DdCBE expression plasmids, containing the desired RVD array, can be obtained within 36 hours by one-step Golden Gate assembly (Figure 1d).

Four separate diagrams labeled (a) through (d) that show the structure of the RVD library, the backbone plasmids into which the modules are cloned, and the one-step assembly of the modules into a DdCBE expression plasmid. Figure (a) shows RVD modules that are included in the kit and Figures (b) and (c) depict eight backbone plasmids into which the modules can be cloned. These are not included in the kit but are available as accessory plasmids. Figure (d) depicts how the BsaI cloning sites flanking each RVD module allow one-step assembly of multiple RVD modules into a backbone plasmid to generate a DdCBE expression vector.

Figure 1: Architecture of RVD library and DdCBE assembly. (a) The RVD plasmid library, in which each RVD module is flanked by BsaI restriction sites and cloned into a vector containing the tetracycline resistance gene. A total of 192 RVD plasmids were constructed: 160 dimer RVD, 16 monomer RVD, and 16 half RVD modules. (b, c) Backbone plasmids MTS-DdCBE and NLS-DdCBE (available as accessory plasmids) with half DddAtox split at G1333 and G1397 with mitochondrial localization signal (b) or nuclear localization signal (c). (d) One-step assembly of DdCBE. Top, plasmids containing intended RVD are cleaved using BsaI to produce sticky ends. Middle, RVD modules with sticky ends are allowed to ligate to the backbones sequentially. Bottom, the assembled DdCBE vectors contain 13.5–20.5 RVDs. Twenty-seven amino acids (aa) of the C-terminal TALE are from the backbone and 14 aa are from a half RVD module, resulting in 41 aa C-terminal TALE after assembly.
