Tailored identification of Cas9 proteins with specific PAM requirements using a computational prediction pipeline
Research Square (Research Square)(2022)
摘要
Abstract The identification of the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequences of Cas9 nucleases is crucial for their exploitation as genome editing tools. Here we interrogated a massively expanded dataset of metagenome and virome assemblies for accurate and comprehensive PAM predictions, in order to identify novel Cas9s selected for their PAM requirements. As a test bed we selectively isolated a Cas9 which uses a PAM sequence corresponding to a disease-causing mutation, P23H in the RHO gene. Our PAM prediction pipeline will be instrumental to generate a Cas9 nuclease repertoire responding to any PAM requirement leading towards a natural PAM-free genome editing toolbox.
