CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) is a genetic perturbation technique that allows for sequence-specific repression of gene expression in <a href="Prokaryotic" class="mw-redirect" title="Prokaryotic">prokaryotic</a> and <a href="Eukaryotic" class="mw-redirect" title="Eukaryotic">eukaryotic</a> cells.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> It was first developed by <a href="Stanley_Qi" class="mw-redirect" title="Stanley Qi">Stanley Qi</a> and colleagues in the laboratories of <a href="Wendell_Lim" title="Wendell Lim">Wendell Lim</a>, Adam Arkin, <a href="Jonathan_Weissman" title="Jonathan Weissman">Jonathan Weissman</a>, and <a href="Jennifer_Doudna" title="Jennifer Doudna">Jennifer Doudna</a>.<a href="#cite_note-pmid23452860-2">[2]</a> Sequence-specific activation of gene expression refers to <a href="DCas9_activation_system" class="mw-redirect" title="DCas9 activation system">CRISPR activation (CRISPRa)</a>.

Based on the bacterial genetic immune system - <a href="CRISPR" title="CRISPR">CRISPR</a> (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) pathway,<a href="#cite_note-pmid17379808-3">[3]</a>

the technique provides a complementary approach to <a href="RNA_interference" title="RNA interference">RNA interference</a>. The difference between CRISPRi and RNAi, though, is that CRISPRi regulates gene expression primarily on the transcriptional level, while RNAi controls genes on the mRNA level.

Many <a href="Bacteria" title="Bacteria">bacteria</a> and most <a href="Archaea" title="Archaea">archaea</a> have an adaptive immune system which incorporates CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and CRISPR-associated (cas) genes.

The CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) technique was first reported by Lei S. Qi and researchers at the <a href="University_of_California_at_San_Francisco" class="mw-redirect" title="University of California at San Francisco">University of California at San Francisco</a> in early 2013.<a href="#cite_note-pmid23452860-2">[2]</a> The technology uses a catalytically dead <a href="Cas9" title="Cas9">Cas9</a> (usually denoted as dCas9) protein that lacks endonuclease activity to regulate genes in an RNA-guided manner. Targeting specificity is determined by complementary base-pairing of a single <a href="Guide_RNA" title="Guide RNA">guide RNA</a> (sgRNA) to the genomic locus. sgRNA is a chimeric noncoding RNA that can be subdivided into three regions: a 20 nt base-pairing sequence, a 42 nt dCas9-binding hairpin and a 40 nt terminator (bacteria,<a href="#cite_note-pmid23360965-4">[4]</a>

<a href="#cite_note-pmid27996021-6">[6]</a> yeast,<a href="#cite_note-pmid23460208-7">[7]</a> fruit flies,<a href="#cite_note-pmid2408874-8">[8]</a> zebrafish,<a href="#cite_note-pmid23360964-9">[9]</a> mice<a href="#cite_note-pmid23643243-10">[10]</a>).

When designing a synthetic sgRNA, only the 20 nt base-pairing sequence is modified. Secondary variables must also be considered: off-target effects (for which a simple BLAST run of the base-pairing sequence is required), maintenance of the dCas9-binding hairpin structure, and ensuring that no restriction sites are present in the modified sgRNA, as this may pose a problem in downstream cloning steps. Due to the simplicity of sgRNA design, this technology is amenable to genome-wide scaling.<a href="#cite_note-pmid24136345-11">[11]</a>

CRISPRi relies on the generation of catalytically inactive Cas9. This is accomplished by introducing point mutations in the two catalytic residues (D10A and H840A) of the gene encoding Cas9.<a href="#cite_note-pmid22745249-12">[12]</a> In doing so, dCas9 is unable to cleave dsDNA but retains the ability to target DNA. Together, sgRNA and dCas9 constitute a minimal system for gene-specific regulation.<a href="#cite_note-pmid23452860-2">[2]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Transcriptional_regulation">Transcriptional regulation</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Repression">Repression</h3></div>

CRISPRi can sterically repress <a href="Transcription_(genetics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Transcription (genetics)">transcription</a> by blocking either transcriptional initiation or elongation. This is accomplished by designing sgRNA complementary to the <a href="Promoter_(genetics)" title="Promoter (genetics)">promoter</a> or the <a href="Exon" title="Exon">exonic</a> sequences. The level of transcriptional repression with a target within the coding sequence is strand-specific.

Depending on the nature of the CRISPR effector, either the template or non-template strand leads to stronger repression.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a>

For dCas9 (based on a Type-2 CRISPR system), repression is stronger when the guide RNA is complementary to the non-template strand. It has been suggested that this is due to the activity of helicase, which unwinds the RNA:DNA heteroduplex ahead of <a href="RNA_polymerase_II" title="RNA polymerase II">RNA pol II</a> when the sgRNA is complementary to the template strand. Unlike transcription elongation block, silencing is independent of the targeted DNA strand when targeting the transcriptional start site. In prokaryotes, this steric inhibition can repress transcription of the target gene by almost 99.9%; in archaea, more than 90% repression was achieved;<a href="#cite_note-Dhamad_2020-14">[14]</a> in human cells, up to 90% repression was observed.<a href="#cite_note-pmid23452860-2">[2]</a>

In bacteria, it is possible to saturate the target with a high enough level of dCas9 complex. In this case, the repression strength only depends on the probability that dCas9 is ejected upon collision with the RNA polymerase, which is determined by the guide sequence.<a href="#cite_note-auto-15">[15]</a> Higher temperatures are also associated with higher ejection probability, thus weaker repression.<a href="#cite_note-auto-15">[15]</a>

In eukaryotes, CRISPRi can also repress transcription via an effector domain. Fusing a repressor domain to dCas9 allows transcription to be further repressed by inducing heterochromatinization. For example, the well-studied <a href="Kr%C3%BCppel_associated_box" title="Krüppel associated box">Krüppel associated box</a> (KRAB) domain can be fused to dCas9 to repress transcription of the target gene up to 99% in human cells.<a href="#cite_note-pmid23849981-16">[16]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Improvements_on_the_efficiency">Improvements on the efficiency</h3></div>

Whereas genome-editing by the catalytically active Cas9 nuclease can be accompanied by irreversible off-target genomic alterations, CRISPRi is highly specific with minimal off-target reversible effects for two distinct sgRNA sequences.<a href="#cite_note-pmid23849981-16">[16]</a> Nonetheless, several methods have been developed to improve the efficiency of transcriptional modulation. Identification of the <a href="Transcription_start_site" class="mw-redirect" title="Transcription start site">transcription start site</a> of a target gene and considering the preferences of sgRNA improves efficiency, as does the presence of accessible <a href="Chromatin" title="Chromatin">chromatin</a> at the target site.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Other_methods">Other methods</h4></div>

Along with other <a href="#Advantages_and_Limitations">improvements</a> mentioned, factors such as the distance from the transcription start and the local chromatin state may be critical parameters in determining activation/repression efficiency. Optimization of dCas9 and sgRNA expression, stability, nuclear localization, and interaction will likely allow for further improvement of CRISPRi efficiency in mammalian cells.<a href="#cite_note-pmid23452860-2">[2]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Applications">Applications</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Gene_knockdown">Gene knockdown</h3></div>

A significant portion of the genome (both reporter and endogenous genes) in eukaryotes has been shown to be targetable using lentiviral constructs to express dCas9 and sgRNAs, with comparable efficiency to existing techniques such as RNAi and TALE proteins.<a href="#cite_note-pmid23849981-16">[16]</a> In tandem or as its own system, CRISPRi could be used to achieve the same <a href="RNA_Interference" class="mw-redirect" title="RNA Interference">applications</a> as in RNAi.

For bacteria, gene knockdown by CRISPRi has been fully implemented and characterized (off-target analysis, leaky repression) for both Gram-negative E. coli <a href="#cite_note-pmid23360965-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-pmid27996021-6">[6]</a> and Gram-positive B. subtilis.<a href="#cite_note-pmid27238023-5">[5]</a>

Not only in bacteria but also in archaea (e.g., M. acetivorans) CRISPRi-Cas9 was successfully utilized to knockdown several genes/operons that related to nitrogen fixation.<a href="#cite_note-Dhamad_2020-14">[14]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Allelic_series">Allelic series</h3></div>

Differential gene expression can be achieved by modifying the efficiency of sgRNA base-pairing to the target loci.<a href="#cite_note-pmid24136345-11">[11]</a> In theory, modulating this efficiency can be used to create an allelic series for any given gene, in essence creating a collection of hypo- and hypermorphs. These powerful collections can be used to probe any genetic investigation. For <a href="Muller's_morphs" title="Muller's morphs">hypomorphs</a>, this allows the incremental reduction of gene function as opposed to the binary nature of gene knockouts and the unpredictability of knockdowns. For <a href="Muller's_morphs" title="Muller's morphs">hypermorphs</a>, this is in contrast to the conventional method of cloning the gene of interest under promoters with variable strength.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Genome_loci_imaging">Genome loci imaging</h3></div>

Fusing a <a href="Green_fluorescent_protein" title="Green fluorescent protein">fluorescent protein</a> to dCas9 allows for imaging of genomic loci in living human cells.<a href="#cite_note-pmid24360272-18">[18]</a> Compared to fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), the method uniquely allows for dynamic tracking of chromosome loci. This has been used to study chromatin architecture and nuclear organization dynamics in laboratory cell lines including HeLa cells.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Stem_cells">Stem cells</h3></div>

Activation of <a href="Reprogramming" title="Reprogramming">Yamanaka factors</a> by CRISPRa has been used to <a href="Induced_pluripotent_stem_cell" title="Induced pluripotent stem cell">induce pluripotency</a> in human and mouse cells providing an alternative method to iPS technology.<a href="#cite_note-pmid24346702-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-pmid24500196-20">[20]</a> In addition, large-scale activation screens could be used to identify proteins that promote induced pluripotency or, conversely, promote differentiation

to a specific cell lineage.<a href="#cite_note-pmid16904174-21">[21]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Genetic_screening">Genetic screening</h3></div>

The ability to upregulate gene expression using dCas9-SunTag with a single sgRNA also opens the door to large-scale genetic screens, such as <a href="Perturb-seq" title="Perturb-seq">Perturb-seq</a>, to uncover phenotypes that result from increased or decreased gene expression, which will be especially important for understanding the effects of gene regulation in cancer.<a href="#cite_note-pmid25307933-22">[22]</a> Furthermore, CRISPRi systems have been shown to be transferable via <a href="Horizontal_gene_transfer" title="Horizontal gene transfer">horizontal gene transfer</a> mechanisms such as <a href="Bacterial_conjugation" title="Bacterial conjugation">bacterial conjugation</a> and specific repression of reporter genes in recipient cells has been demonstrated. CRISPRi could serve as a tool for genetic screening and potentially bacterial population control.<a href="#cite_note-pmid25409531-23">[23]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Advantages_and_limitations">Advantages and limitations</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Advantages">Advantages</h3></div>

<ol><li>CRISPRi can silence a target gene of interest up to 99.9% repression.<a href="#cite_note-pmid24136345-11">[11]</a> The strength of the repression can also be tuned by changing the amount of complementarity between the guide RNA and the target. Contrary to inducible promoters, partial repression by CRISPRi does not add <a href="Transcriptional_noise" title="Transcriptional noise">transcriptional noise</a> to the target's expression.<a href="#cite_note-auto-15">[15]</a> Since the repression level is encoded in a DNA sequence, various expression levels can be grown in competition and identified by sequencing.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a></li>

<li>Since CRISPRi is based on Watson-Crick base-pairing of sgRNA-DNA and an NGG PAM motif, selection of targetable sites within the genome is straightforward and flexible. Carefully defined protocols have been developed.<a href="#cite_note-pmid24136345-11">[11]</a></li>

<li>Multiple sgRNAs can not only be used to control multiple different genes simultaneously (multiplex CRISPRi), but also to enhance the efficiency of regulating the same gene target. A popular strategy to express many sgRNAs simultaneously is to array the sgRNAs in a single construct with multiple promoters or processing elements. For example, Extra-Long sgRNA Arrays (ELSAs) use nonrepetitive parts to allow direct synthesis of 12-sgRNA arrays from a gene synthesis provider, can be directly integrated into the E. coli genome without homologous recombination occurring, and can simultaneously target many genes to achieve complex phenotypes.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a></li>

<li>While the two systems can be complementary, CRISPRi provides advantages over RNAi. As an exogenous system, CRISPRi does not compete with endogenous machinery such as microRNA expression or function. Furthermore, because CRISPRi acts at the DNA level, one can target transcripts such as noncoding RNAs, microRNAs, antisense transcripts, nuclear-localized RNAs, and polymerase III transcripts. Finally, CRISPRi possesses a much larger targetable sequence space; promoters and, in theory, introns can also be targeted.<a href="#cite_note-pmid23849981-16">[16]</a></li>

<li>In E. coli, construction of a gene knockdown strain is extremely fast and requires only one-step oligo <a href="Recombineering" title="Recombineering">recombineering</a>.<a href="#cite_note-pmid27996021-6">[6]</a></li></ol>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Limitations">Limitations</h3></div>

<ol><li>The requirement of a <a href="Protospacer_adjacent_motif" title="Protospacer adjacent motif">protospacer adjacent motif</a> (PAM) sequence limits the number of potential target sequences. Cas9 and its homologs may use different PAM sequences, and therefore could theoretically be utilized to expand the number of potential target sequences.<a href="#cite_note-pmid24136345-11">[11]</a></li>

<li>Sequence specificity to target loci is only 14 nt long (12 nt of sgRNA and 2nt of the PAM), which can recur around 11 times in a human genome.<a href="#cite_note-pmid24136345-11">[11]</a> Repression is inversely correlated with the distance of the target site from the transcription start site. Genome-wide computational predictions or selection of Cas9 homologs with a longer PAM may reduce nonspecific targeting.</li>

<li>Endogenous chromatin states and modifications may prevent the sequence-specific binding of the dCas9-sgRNA complex.<a href="#cite_note-pmid24136345-11">[11]</a> The level of transcriptional repression in mammalian cells varies between genes. Much work is needed to understand the role of local DNA conformation and chromatin in relation to binding and regulatory efficiency.</li>

<li>CRISPRi can influence genes that are in close proximity to the target gene. This is especially important when targeting genes that either overlap other genes (sense or antisense overlapping) or are driven by a bidirectional promoter.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a></li>

<li>Sequence-specific toxicity has been reported in eukaryotes, with some sequences in the PAM-proximal region causing a large fitness burden.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> This phenomenon, called the "bad seed effect", is still unexplained but can be reduced by optimizing the expression level of dCas9.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a></li></ol>
