Precision Genome and Base Editing by Regulating mRNA Nuclear Export Using Selective Inhibitors of Nuclear Export (SINEs)

CRISPR-based genome engineering tools are associated with off-target effects that constitutively active Cas9 protein may instigate. In the present study, we screened for irreversible small molecule off-switches of CRISPR-Cas9 and discovered that selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINEs) could inhibit the cellular activity of CRISPR-Cas9 by interfering with the nuclear export of Cas9 mRNA. We subsequently found that SINEs, including an FDA-approved anticancer drug KPT330, could improve the specificities of CRISPR-Cas9-based genome and base editing tools in human cells.
