CRISPR is not a single system; there are many different types. This new system is something where a transposable element called Tn7 has, over the course of evolution, co-opted a CRISPR so that it can use the RNA targeting mechanism of CRISPR to spread itself to viruses or plasmids. By studying the molecular mechanism of this, we realized that it’s a potentially programmable way to be able to introduce DNA into the genome. One of the major hurdles of gene editing is we can cut DNA, but introducing DNA into the genome in a precise way has been challenging. Using these transposable elements that are RNA-guided, there’s the potential to develop a new genome-editing tool.","PeriodicalId":72635,"journal":{"name":"Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative biology","volume":"84 ","pages":"302-304"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1101/sqb.2019.84.039560","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37654808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The disease-associated mutation is either a frameshift or a nonsense mutation that generates a premature termination codon, which, when recognized by a ribosome, triggers decay of the mRNA. This is a good thing in the sense that if a cell were to make truncated proteins, these proteins could be toxic. The open reading frame of the mutated mRNA is abnormally short, and therefore the encoded protein would be truncated, with the potential to gum up the cellular machine it works in. We figured out the rules for how a cell differentiates a normal termination codon, which generally doesn’t trigger mRNA decay, from a premature termination codon, which generally does.","PeriodicalId":72635,"journal":{"name":"Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative biology","volume":"84 ","pages":"279-281"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1101/sqb.2019.84.039412","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37572663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Conversation with Samie Jaffrey.","authors":"","doi":"10.1101/sqb.2019.84.039420","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1101/sqb.2019.84.039420","url":null,"abstract":"Dr. Jaffrey: I’m going to talk about our work on RNA modifications and, in particular, methylated adenosine. Most of the mRNA [messenger RNA] in the cell is composed of A, C, G, and U, but a tiny bit—maybe one in every 300–400 adenosines—is methylated, and when it’s methylated on the nitrogen of adenosine, it’s called mA. We normally don’t think of mRNA as containing that many modifications; we think of tRNA [transfer RNA] and other RNAs as having modifications. This was discovered way back in 1974 when scientists were beginning to understand how mRNA capping and other phenomena occur. When they were doing metabolic labeling to study the mG cap on mRNA, they ended up inadvertently discovering that there were actually methyl modifications inside mRNA, and with some clever biochemistry they figured out it was mA. The people who did this were Dawn Kelley and Robert Perry at Fox Chase and Fritz Rottman and other researchers like Jim Darnell. Some of the pioneers of molecular biology were involved in discovering this modification. mAwas known to be low abundance, but even though it was discovered way back then, almost nothing has been known since about what its function could be. It’s very appealing to think that it might be a modification like phosphorylation is for proteins. The potential that mA has some sort of regulatory function has been overlooked, and it’s for many reasons. First, some people didn’t even think that mA was really in mRNA, because when you purify mRNAyou actually have a lot of contaminants and they thought maybe mA could have been from tRNA or ribosomal RNA. But people like Jim Darnell did experiments where he did exceptionally high-purity purification, at least to the ability that they had at the time, and they still were able to see mA. So, there was belief—but still controversy—about whether it was really in mRNA. The other thing is, how do you study mA? mA behaves exactly like adenosine when you do reverse transcription. If you take mRNA and you make cDNA [complementary DNA], which is the reverse transcription step in molecular biology, you’re going to lose any methyl marks that were there. A lot of people abandoned the field and quickly moved into splicing because that was discovered in the end of the ’70s. A lot of this was lost and it wasn’t even in textbooks, but there were a few researchers who stayed on it. Fritz Rottman at CaseWestern was really the pioneer who cloned the enzyme. It’s called METTL3, or methyltransferase-like enzyme 3. Then, as with so many other things in molecular biology the breakthroughs came from yeast and plants. Some scientists knocked out the enzyme in yeast and they found a very remarkable sporulation defect. In plants they found seeds would go to one stage of development and stop. That was Rupert Fray’s paper in 2008. When we saw that paper we were just completely shocked; we never even heard of this modification. I had a postdoc who started shortly thereafter; her name is Kate Meyer and she’","PeriodicalId":72635,"journal":{"name":"Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative biology","volume":"84 ","pages":"268-270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1101/sqb.2019.84.039420","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37750889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
