Abstract:

【Objective】 The objective of this study is to develop CRISPR/LanCas9 and CRISPR/SLanCas9 editing systems for rice and to expand the CRISPR/Cas gene-editing toolkit. 【Method】 The codon of LanCas9 from Lactobacillus subtilis KCTC 3501 was optimized, and further a chimeric SLanCas9 by fusing the active domains of LanCas9 and SpCas9 was generated. Thus CRISPR/LanCas9 and CRISPR/SLanCas9 editing systems for rice were constructed respectively. Using OsWRKY45, OsCPK4, OsCPK6, OsCPK7, OsMPK8, OsGSK3, and OsGSK4 as target genes, the 20 nt or 24 nt sgRNAs in NGG PAM or NAG PAM were designed, and their editing efficiency was analyzed through rice genetic transformation.【Result】 The LanCas9 efficiently identified NGG PAM and efficiency was higher when combined with a 20-nt sgRNA editor, resulting in an editing efficiency of 25.00% for the OsWRKY45 gene. Furthermore, the fused SLanCas9 not only showed the recognition of the NGG PAM and also demonstrated a certain level of editing efficiency at the NAG PAM site, achieving editing efficiencies of 100% and 39.58% respectively for different PAM sites. Additionally, SLanCas9 demonstrated multiple-gene editing capabilities with an impressive efficiency of up to 74.07% at NGG PAM sites. 【Conclusion】 This study has successfully developed novel CRISPR/LanCas9 and CRISPR/SLanCas9 gene editing technologies with independent intellectual property rights.
