Disclosed herein is a genetically encoded light- or chemically-activated Cas9 engineered through the site-specific installation of an activatable lysine amino acid. Such activatable Cas9 proteins can be used in CRISPR/Cas9 systems to control gene expression temporally, spatially, or both. Systems, methods, kits, and compositions for manipulation of sequences and/or activities of target sequences are provided. Also provided are methods of directing CRISPR complex formation in cells and methods for selecting specific cells by introducing precise mutations utilizing the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
本文公开了一种基因编码的光激活或化学激活 Cas9,它是通过在特定位点安装可激活的赖氨酸氨基酸而设计的。这种可激活的 Cas9 蛋白可用于 CRISPR/Cas9 系统,以控制基因表达的时间、空间或两者。本文提供了用于操纵目标序列的序列和/或活性的系统、方法、试剂盒和组合物。此外,还提供了在细胞中引导 CRISPR 复合物形成的方法,以及通过利用 CRISPR/Cas9 系统引入精确突变来选择特定细胞的方法。
