Efficient generation of mouse models of human diseases via ABE- and BE-mediated base editing

TL;DR: In vivo generation of mouse models carrying clinically relevant mutations using C→T and A→G editors is demonstrated, making it feasible to model and potentially cure relevant genetic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

BE-PLUS: a new base editing tool with broadened editing window and enhanced fidelity.

TL;DR: A new editing technology named as base editor for programming larger C to U (T) scope (BE-PLUS) by fusing 10 copies of GCN4 peptide to nCas9(D10A) for recruiting scFv-APOBEC-UGI-GB1 to the target sites, resulting in an increased genome-targeting scope.
Journal ArticleDOI

SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein phase separates with G3BPs to disassemble stress granules and facilitate viral production.

TL;DR: In this article, the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein, an RNA binding protein essential for viral production, interacted with Ras-GTPase-activating protein SH3-domain-binding protein (G3BP) and disrupted SG assembly, both of which require intrinsically disordered region1 (IDR1) in N protein.
