Summary

LADL (light-activated dynamic looping system) is a multi-component optogenetic genome-engineering platform that targets two genomic anchors with CRISPR guide RNAs and promotes their spatial co-localization through light-induced heterodimerization between CRY2 and dCas9-CIBN. In the cited 2018 study, this engineered looping altered endogenous gene expression, including increased nascent Zfp462 transcription and increased synchronous Sox2 expression.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

LADL is useful for experimentally imposing specific chromatin contacts at endogenous loci with light as the control input. The reported application shows that induced looping can modulate transcriptional output and allelic synchrony of native genes.

Here we report a new class of 3-D optoepigenetic tools for the directed rearrangement of 3-D chromatin looping on short time scales using blue light.

Problem solved

LADL addresses the problem of how to causally test whether a defined genomic looping interaction is sufficient to alter endogenous gene expression. It provides a way to recruit two selected genomic anchors into proximity using CRISPR guide RNA targeting coupled to optogenetic protein association.

The reported design uses CRISPR guide RNAs to target two genomic anchors and relies on a dCas9-CIBN fusion together with CRY2 for light-responsive recruitment. The available evidence does not specify illumination parameters, delivery format, host cell system, or construct stoichiometry.

The supplied evidence comes from a single cited study and supports only the specific reported gene-expression outcomes and targeting mechanism. The evidence provided here does not report quantitative kinetics, reversibility, off-target effects, cell-type generality, or performance across many loci.

We target our light-activated dynamic looping system (LADL) to two genomic anchors with CRISPR guide RNAs and engineer their spatial co-localization via light-induced heterodimerization of the cryptochrome 2 (CRY2) protein with dCas9-CIBN.

LADL increases total nascent Zfp462 transcripts and the number of Zfp462 alleles expressing simultaneously per cell.

Using single molecule RNA FISH, we observe a LADL-induced increase in the total nascent Zfp462 transcripts and the number of Zfp462 alleles expressing simultaneously per cell.

Comparisons

Source-backed strengths

The system acts at endogenous genomic sites specified by CRISPR guide RNAs and uses light-induced CRY2-dCas9-CIBN association to drive spatial co-localization. In the cited study, reinforcement of a Sox2-super-enhancer loop increased synchronous Sox2 expression, and a redirected interaction increased total nascent Zfp462 transcripts and the number of simultaneously expressing Zfp462 alleles per cell.

Compared with Cry2/CIB

LADL and Cry2/CIB address a similar problem space because they share localization, recombination.

Shared frame: same top-level item type; shared target processes: localization, recombination; shared mechanisms: heterodimerization; same primary input modality: light

Relative tradeoffs: appears more independently replicated; looks easier to implement in practice.
