A-to-G/C/T and C-to-T/G/A dual-function base editor for creating multi-nucleotide variants

Multi-nucleotide variants (MNVs) are critical genetic variants associated with various genetic diseases. However, tools for precisely installing MNVs are limited. In this study, we present the development of a dual-base editor, BDBE, by integrating TadA-dual and engineered human N-methylpurine DNA g...

Zusammenfassung:Multi-nucleotide variants (MNVs) are critical genetic variants associated with various genetic diseases. However, tools for precisely installing MNVs are limited. In this study, we present the development of a dual-base editor, BDBE, by integrating TadA-dual and engineered human N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (eMPG) into nCas9 (D10A). Our results demonstrate that BDBE effectively converts A-to-G/C/T (referred to as A-to-B) and C-to-T/G/A (referred to as C-to-D) simultaneously, yielding nine types of dinucleotides from adjacent CA nucleotides while maintaining minimal off-target effects. Notably, BDBE4 exhibits exceptional performance across multiple human cell lines and successfully simulated all nine dinucleotide MNVs from the gnomAD database. These findings indicate that BDBE significantly expands the product range of base editors and offers a valuable resource for advancing MNV research.
