Summary
Engineered self-deliverable CRISPR ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) enhance genome editing efficiency and reduce toxicity. These novel RNPs facilitate robust gene editing in cells and in vivo without helper molecules.
Area of Science:
- Molecular Biology
- Gene Editing Technologies
- Biotechnology
Background:
- CRISPR ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) offer advantages for genome editing, including reduced off-target effects.
- Effective RNP delivery is hindered by low efficiency and cell toxicity in specific cell types.
Conclusions:
- Self-deliverable Cas9 proteins represent a facile and effective platform for genome editing.
- This approach overcomes RNP delivery challenges, enabling efficient in vitro and in vivo applications.

Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

RNA Editing
9.0K
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification where a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) nucleotide sequence is changed by base insertion, deletion, or modification. The extent of RNA editing varies from a few hundred bases, in mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, to a just single base, in nuclear genes of mammals. Even a single base change in the pre-mRNA can convert a codon for one amino acid into the codon for another amino acid or a stop codon. This type of re-coding can significantly affect the...
