摘要

Prime editing has emerged as a precise and powerful genome editing tool, offering a favorable gene editing profile compared to other Cas9-based approaches. Here we report several nCas9-DNA polymerase fusion proteins and their engineered versions to create a simple and efficient two-component chimeric oligonucleotide-directed editing (CODE) system. CODE contains a derivative of Bst DNA polymerase engineered for increased thermostability and processivity as well as a chimeric pegRNA (cpegRNA) for programmable search and replace genome editing. Additionally, CODEMax(exo+) features a 5’ to 3’ exonuclease activity that promotes effective strand invasion and repair outcomes favoring the incorporation of the desired edit. We demonstrate that CODEs can perform small insertions, deletions, and substitutions with improved efficiency compared to PEMax at many loci in HEK293T cells with plasmid- and RNP-based delivery. We also show that CODEMax can successfully modify mouse and bovine embryos with up to 9.3% precise editing. Further optimization of CODEMax systems may enhance editing outcomes in embryos and other challenging contexts. Overall, CODEs complement existing prime editors to expand the toolbox for genome manipulations without double-stranded breaks.
