Construct Pattern·Research·Since 2022

Also known as: tPEs

Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

Tethered prime editors (tPEs) are prime editing constructs in which stem-loop aptamer-modified pegRNAs are tethered to Cas9 nickase. The design alters pegRNA architecture to increase prime editing efficiency and flexibility.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

tPEs are useful because they address the possibility that the 3-prime extension of pegRNAs can impair pegRNA stability or folding and thereby compromise prime editing activity. By tethering stem-loop pegRNAs to Cas9 nickase, the system is intended to improve the functional performance and design flexibility of prime editing constructs.

Source:

The resulting split pegRNA prime editors (SnPEs) maintain the PE activity and increase flexibility.

Problem solved

This tool is designed to solve a pegRNA architecture problem in prime editing, specifically the risk that the 3-prime pegRNA extension negatively affects RNA stability or folding. It also addresses the need for more flexible prime editor construct formats through tethered and related split pegRNA designs.

tPEs are implemented by adding stem-loop aptamers to the 3-prime terminus of the pegRNA and tethering the resulting stem-loop PE to Cas9 nickase. The available evidence does not specify the aptamer identity, the tethering module, expression format, or delivery method.

The supplied evidence is limited to design rationale and construct strategy from a single 2022 source. No specific editing outcomes, target loci, organismal validation, or comparative efficiency measurements are provided here.

Source-backed strengths

The reported strength of tPEs is a design rationale aimed at enhancing prime editing efficiency and flexibility. The evidence specifically supports construction of pegRNAs bearing 3-prime stem-loop aptamers that can be tethered to Cas9 nickase, but it does not provide quantitative performance data in the supplied material.
