This study developed an optimized CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing method using in vitro assembled ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) in Flammulina filiformis. The method achieved a 100% targeting efficiency and avoided the use of foreign DNA. This research has significant theoretical and practical implications.
CRISPR/Cas9 systems were established in some edible fungi based on in vivo expressed Cas9 and guide RNA. Compared with those systems, the in vitro assembled Cas9 and sgRNA ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) have more advantages, but only a few examples were reported, and the editing efficiency is relatively low. In this study, we developed and optimized a CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing method based on in vitro assembled ribonucleoprotein complexes in the mushroom Flammulina filiformis. The surfactant Triton X-100 played a critical role in the optimal method, and the targeting efficiency of the genomic editing reached 100% on a selective medium containing 5-FOA. This study is the first to use an RNP complex delivery to establish a CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing system in F. filiformis. Moreover, compared with other methods, this method avoids the use of any foreign DNA, thus saving time and labor when it comes to plasmid construction.
