Fig. 4

a Illustration of split circular TJ-petRNA. The prime editing template RNA (petRNA) sequence carrying an RTT-PBS sequence and an MS2 stem-loop aptamer, and circularized via a permuted group I catalytic intron. Yellow: circularization sequence. b Model of split circular petRNA function in PE. c Urea polyacrylamide gel showing split circular TJ-petRNA after splicing, RNase H, and RNase R digestion. Linear, but not circular, RNA is digested by RNase R. Experiments were done two times, and one is shown. d Editing efficiency of split circular TJ-petRNA at the AAVS1 locus. Synthesized sgRNAs and in vitro transcribed split circular petRNA were co-transfected with nCas9 and MCP-RT mRNA in HEK293T cells. For comparison purposes, HEK293T cells were transfected with PE2, TJ-pegRNA, and nicking sgRNA plasmids. FL-pegRNA: in vitro transcribed full-length TJ-pegRNA. Results were obtained from three independent experiments, shown as mean ± s.d.
