Abstract

AbstractAdenine base editors (ABEs) allow the efficient programmable conversion of adenine to guanine without causing DNA double strand breaks. Previous ABEs were generated by multiple rounds of directed evolution or derived by rational design based on the evolved ones. Although powerful, these methods search the local space for ABEs optimizations. Artificial intelligence (AI) based methods have the ability to efficiently explore much larger protein space for protein design. But currently there is no AI-designed ABE with wet experimental validation. Here, we demonstrate the first successful AI-designed ABE, which is named ABE10. ABE10 includes an AI-designed adenine deaminase enzyme fused with SpCas9n. The sequence identity between AI-designed enzyme and other publicly accessible variants is as low as 65.3%. ABE10 shows improved editing efficiency compared to current state-of-the-art ABE8 at multiple human genome sites tested. ABE10 also shows low off-target editing rate and reduced cytosine bystander effect. Our work demonstrates new direction for optimization of gene editing tools.
