Prime editing is a universal and very promising precise genome editing technology. However, optimization of prime editor (PE) from different aspects remains vital for its use as a routine tool in plant basic research and crop molecular breeding. In this report, we tested MS2-based prime editor (MS2PE). We fused the M-MLV reverse transcriptase (RT) gene variant to the MS2 RNA binding protein gene, MCP, and allowed the MCP-RT fusion gene to co-express with the SpCas9 nickase gene, SpCas9H840A, and various engineered pegRNAs harboring MS2 RNA (MS2pegR). Compared with control PEs, MS2PEs significantly enhanced editing efficiency at four of six targets in rice protoplasts, and achieved 1.2[~]10.1-fold increase in editing efficiency at five of six targets in transgenic rice lines. Furthermore, we tested total 22 different MS2pegR scaffolds, 3 RT variants or genes, 2 MCP variants, and various combinations of the Cas9 nickase, RT, and MCP modules. Our results demonstrated an alternative strategy for enhancing prime editing.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
