Adapting and Testing ReMOT Control for Expanded CRISPR-Era Genome Functions in Non-model Insects.

The movement of the Drosophila yolk protein (DmYP) across the mosquito oocyte membrane was both fortuitous and puzzling; the cells that become future offspring--oocytes--are closed off to molecules that are not specifically recognized by a receptor, but there is no obvious ortholog of the yolk protein/receptor for DmYP in mosquitoes. Nonetheless, a small fragment of DmYP was sufficient to move the massive ribonucleoprotein complex of Cas9 and a guide RNA from the open circulatory system of a female mosquito into the mosquito oocyte for targeting of the germline DNA and heritable mutation. This procedure, known as ReMOT Control, is a robust method for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene knockdown that has been adapted for many orders of insects, for ticks, and even for several species of crustacean by first identifying a suitable peptide for oocyte uptake, then expressing Cas9 as a fusion protein with the peptide and finally performing adult injections with expressed, purified protein and guide RNA against a gene with a visible marker phenotype.

The development of mosquito transgenesis technologies was driven by the need to make stable and heritable modifications to the genomes of these important insects for a variety of basic and applied objectives. While a number of transient assay systems for gene expression analyses were developed, transposable elements (TEs) were the first tools that allowed the production of genetically manipulated strains for studies that involve the complex biology of these insects and their ability to transmit pathogens. TEs have been replaced more recently for most applications by the adaptation of Cas9/guide RNA techniques, but they are still useful in randomly sampling genomes as enhancer traps and identifying neutral regions in the genome free of insertion site effects.

Smooth muscle cell-specific myosin heavy chain, encoded by MYH11, is selectively expressed in smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Pathogenic variants in MYH11 predispose to a number of disorders, including heritable thoracic aortic disease associated with patent ductus arteriosus, visceral myopathy, and megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome. Rare variants of uncertain significance occur throughout the gene, including MYH11 p.

Base editing technologies can improve crops, but their efficiency in maize remains suboptimal. This study attempts to overcome these limitations by examining optimized cytosine and adenine base editors (CBEs and ABEs), namely evoAPOBEC1, evoFERNY, evoCDA1, TadA8.20, and TadA8e, for precise genome editing in transient and stable expression maize cells.

Despite the large variety of insect species with divergent morphological, developmental and physiological features questions on gene function could for a long time only be addressed in few model species. The adaption of the bacterial CRISPR-Cas system for genome editing in eukaryotic cells widened the scope of the field of functional genetics: for the first time the creation of heritable genetic changes had become possible in a very broad range of organisms. Since then, targeted genome editing using the CRISPR-Cas technology has greatly increased the possibilities for genetic manipulation in non-model insects where molecular genetic tools were little established.
