Abstract

CRISPR/Cas9, since its discovery, has revolutionized the genome editing landscape; with one protein and a programmable RNA sequence, genome targeting has become achievable even in the non-experts’ hands. Despite its easy adaptation of the application, off-target and low efficiency have been issues to push its use in genetic therapy. In this research, attempts to enhance the efficiency of nuclease activity were attempted. Random mutagenesis has been performed in the region of the nuclease domain – RuvCII-HNH-RuvCIII. The enhanced mutants were expected to be isolated from a positive selection system where the survival of the host is linked to the Cas9 ability to severe the suicide plasmid. However, problems had arisen due to high background and toxicity issues; and attempts to optimize the condition to eliminate the problem has become the goal of this project. ​Master of Science (Biomedical Engineering)

Abstract

Malasseziais the most dominant fungal genus on the human skin surface and is associated with various skin diseases including dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Among Malasseziaspecies, Malassezia restrictais the most widely observed species on the human skin. In the current study, we identified a novel dsRNA virus, named MrV40, in M. restrictaand characterized the sequence and structure of the viral genome along with an independent satellite dsRNA viral segment. Moreover, expression of genes involved in ribosomal synthesis and programmed cell death was altered, indicating that virus infection affected the physiology of the fungal host cells. Our data also showed that the viral nucleic acid from MrV40 induces a TLR3-mediated inflammatory immune response in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells, indicating that a viral element likely contributes to the pathogenicity of Malassezia. This is the first study to identify and characterize a novel mycovirus in Malassezia.
