High-efficiency base editing for nuclear and mitochondrial DNA with an optimized DYW-like deaminase
8 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
CRISPR-based cytosine base editors enable precise genome editing without inducing double-stranded DNA breaks yet traditionally depend on a limited selection of deaminases from the APOBEC/AID or TadA families. Here, we present SsCBE, a CRISPR-based cytosine base editor utilizing SsdA tox , a DYW-like deaminase derived from the toxin of Pseudomonas syringae . Strategic engineering of SsdA tox has led to remarkable...
