- Adenine Phosphoribosyltransferase Is a Universal Counterselectable Marker for DNA-Free Genome Editing in Oomycetes. Camborde, Laurent Jaturapaktrarak, Chalisa Gouzy, Jérôme Lopez-Roques, Céline Krajaejun, Theerapong Gaulin, Elodie Badis, Yacine Gene Editing CRISPR-Cas Systems Adenine Phosphoribosyltransferase Oomycetes Phytophthora Mutation CRISPR-Cas genome editing is a powerful tool for understanding the pathogenicity of oomycetes, a group that includes several destructive plant parasites. Although a few species have benefited from plasmid-based transformation methods for gene overexpression and RNA interference silencing, these techniques remain inefficient for other oomycete genera such as and . Here, we explored the applicability of DNA-free endogenous counterselection in filamentous oomycetes, using CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). We used biolistics to deliver RNPs targeting the adenine phosphoribosyltransferase () gene and generated selectable 2-fluoroadenine-resistant mutants in , , and species. Targeted mutagenesis resulted in various deletions at the expected cut sites, confirming efficient genome editing. Knockout mutants exhibited no alterations in growth or virulence, making a suitable selectable marker gene for oomycete research. Whole-genome comparative analyses on CRISPR-edited mutants revealed no or very few additional mutations in . and and substantial off-target effects in This one-step approach circumvents the need for protoplast generation and can be broadly applied to oomycetes producing zoospores or oospores.
