“…In addition, TET1 is the ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 1, and its catalytic domain is used for CRISPR approaches [33]. As a control, we used dCas alone, without effector, that was reported to induce moderate demethylation that was replication-dependent [34]. For epigenetic editing, the cells were transfected in 6-well dishes at an initial density of approximately 80% with a total of 4 µg plasmid DNA.…”

“…Plasmids. All S. pyogenes gRNA expression plasmids were generated by mutagenesis of pLenti-gRNA-puro (Addgene plasmid #180426) with the Q5® Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit as previously described 40 using primers listed in Supplementary Table 1. A modified species-specific pLenti-gRNA-puro plasmid for S. aureus gRNAs was constructed as described previously for S. pyogenes 18 by ordering modified gene fragments (gBlocks, Integrated DNA Technologies) encoding the U6 promoter, gRNA sequence, and species-specific scaffold (Supplementary Table 1).…”

“…A tool for site-specific epigenetic editing typically must consist of two components: an enzymatic component with epigenetic-modifying activity (with the exception of targeted DNA methylation editing [34,35], discussed below in the section titled "Steric inhibition for DNA demethylation") and a targeting component-a domain that can bind a specific DNA sequence so that the epigenetic activity can be targeted to specific genes or genomic locations. At present, targeting is achieved by one of three categories of targeting domains: zinc-fingers (ZFs), transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs), or CRISPR/dCas9.…”
