Evolution of an adenine base editor into a small, efficient cytosine base editor with low off-target activity

Monica E. Neugebauer et al.

Summary: Improved cytosine base editors are generated by phage-assisted evolution of a deoxyadenosine deaminase, which exhibit small size, low off-target activity, and high on-target activity. These modified base editors have significant application potential in cell and gene editing.

Disruption of HIV-1 co-receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 in primary human T cells and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells using base editing

Friederike Knipping et al.

Summary: The disruption of CCR5 and CXCR4 co-receptors using base editing techniques has been shown to protect CD4(+) T cells from HIV-1 infection. The base editing strategies effectively introduce targeted mutations to inactivate the genes without causing double stranded DNA breaks. This study demonstrates the potential of base-editing strategies in preventing viral transduction and maintaining cellular functionality.

Phage-Assisted Continuous Evolution and Selection of Enzymes for Chemical Synthesis

Krysten A. Jones et al.

Summary: Ligand-dependent biosensors have been developed to link enzymatic activity with the production of essential phage protein, enabling biocatalyst-dependent phage-assisted continuous evolution and selection. By combining phage-based evolution and library selection technologies, enzyme variants with improved and expanded catalytic properties have been successfully evolved. The genetic diversity resulting from a highly mutated PACS library is enriched for active enzyme variants with altered substrate scope, laying the foundation for engineering biocatalysts with novel substrate scope and reactivity.
