Background on Mitochondrial DNA

Mitochondria are semi- autonours organelles that generate adenosyne trifosfate (ATP) through oksydative fosforylation. Each mitochondrion contens multiple copies of a small, circular genome: approximately 16,569 base pairs in human, encoding 13 essential protein subunits of thee elen transport chain, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs. The ereding ~ 1,500 mitochondriail proteins are encoded by nuclear DNAnd imported intelle.

Inżynier CRISPR Systems for Mitochondria

Efforts to adapt CRISPR for mitochondria have focused on overcoming the RNA import barrier. Several strategies have been explored: engineering a mitochondrial localization signal (MLS) on Cas9, using shortened guide RNAs that can traverse the mitochondrial membranes, or employing specialized RNA import pathways such as the polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPASE) pathway. A notable example is the development of mitochondria-targeted Cas9 (mitoCas9) fused to an MLS, which, when co-expressed with a guide RNA engineered to include a mitochondrial import stem-loop, enabled editing in human cells. However, efficiency remains low compared to DdCBEs, and off-target nuclear editing persists.

More recently, a variant of Cas9 known as Cas12a (formerly Cpf1) has been explored due te tlo tlas size and different PAM requirements. Fusing Cas12a with an MLS and using chemically modified guided RNAs improwited mitochondrial localization in some studies.
