Cas9 D10A mediates efficient HDR distant from nick sites. (A) Ten HDR donor templates were designed with an EcoRI sequence positioned at varying distances (0-nt, 13-nt, 25-nt, 38-nt and 51-nt) from the left cleavage site of a paired-guide nickase design with a PAM-out orientation in HPRT1. ssODNs corresponding to the top and bottom (Btm) strand for each sequence were tested. Letters A–E indicate the position of the EcoRI insertion, the top strand ssODN is shown. (B) Cas9 D10A with gRNA pairs (left panel), or Cas9 WT with each of the individual gRNAs (middle and right panel) RNP complexes (Alt-R S.p. Cas9 D10A nickase or Alt-R S.p. Cas9 Nuclease complexed with Alt-R CRISPR–Cas9 crRNA and tracrRNA) were delivered at 4 µM (2 µM each RNP for nickase paired guides) along with 4 µM Alt-R Cas9 Electroporation Enhancer and 2 µM donor template by nucleofection to HEK293 cells (top) or K562 cells (bottom). HDR efficiency was evaluated by EcoRI cleavage of targeted amplicons. Data are represented as mean ± SEM of three biological replicates for D10A and two biological replicates for WT.
