Abstract

Given the widespread use and application of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas gene editing system across many fields, a major focus has been the development, engineering and discovery of molecular means to precisely control and regulate the enzymatic function of the Cas9 nuclease. To date, a variety of Cas9 variants and fusion assemblies have been proposed to provide temporally inducible and spatially controlled editing functions. The discovery of a new class of 'anti-CRISPR' proteins, evolved from bacteriophage in response to the prokaryotic nuclease-based immune system, provides a new platform for control over genomic editing. One Cas9-based application of interest to the field of population control is that of the 'gene drive'. Here, we demonstrate use of the AcrIIA2 and AcrIIA4 proteins to inhibit active gene drive systems in budding yeast. Furthermore, an unbiased mutational scan reveals that titration of Cas9 inhibition may be possible by modification of the anti-CRISPR primary sequence.
