Tracking the localization and proximal interaction partners of endogenous proteins provides valuable functional insight. Here, we present a protocol for CRISPR-based endogenous protein tagging in mammalian cells. We describe steps for endogenously tagging human TSC22D2 and MAP4, including designing Cas9 and Cas12a guides for knockin, modularized repair template design and cloning, and procedures for lipid transfection and electroporation. This protocol accommodates Cas nucleases in plasmid expression or ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP) formats. This "endo-tagging" approach offers flexibility and broad applicability. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Xiao et al..

N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is a member of the NDRG family of intracellular proteins and plays a central role in a wide range of biological processes including stress response, differentiation, and metabolism. The overexpression of NDRG1 is an indicator of poor prognosis in various types of cancer. Here, we found that NDRG1 is an independent prognostic marker of poor outcome in breast cancer (BC).

Article Synopsis
- Traditional overexpression techniques struggle to accurately analyze protein-protein interactions and expression in B lymphocytes due to their resistance to lipid transfection.
- The article discusses advanced CRISPR/Cas9 knock-in methods that increase efficiency in tagging endogenous proteins, along with protocols for optimizing cutting efficiency and sgRNA selection.
- Detailed methodologies for engineering B lymphoma cells are provided, including assessing editing efficiency, designing repair templates, electroporation, and selecting engineered cells, enabling broader application in other cell types.
The introduction of genome engineering technology has transformed biomedical research, making it possible to make precise changes to genetic information. However, creating an efficient gene-editing system requires a deep understanding of CRISPR technology, and the complex experimental systems under investigation. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in various tasks, they often lack specific knowledge and struggle to accurately solve biological design problems.

Prokaryotes use CRISPR-Cas systems to interfere with viruses and other mobile genetic elements. CRISPR arrays comprise repeated DNA elements and spacer sequences that can be engineered for custom target sites. These arrays are transcribed into precursor CRISPR RNAs (pre-crRNAs) that undergo maturation steps to form individual CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs).
