LMO name
Maize with impaired DNA-repair mechanism
Transformation event
B104 (ATR-Hb-KO)
Developer(s)
The item to which this reference refers is pending approval.
Description
The maize plants have been edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulting in the mutation of the ATR gene. One extra DNA base pair has been introduced into the target gene resulting in the knock-out of this gene by means of a frameshift mutation.
The ATR gene plays a role in the repair of DNA damage. Thus, DNA damage is expected to accumulate to a higher degree due to the faulty repair mechanism. The plants could acts as a biosensor for DNA damage caused by different forms of abiotic stress such as drought, heat, or environmental pollution.
Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms
The term Recipient organism refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas Parental organisms refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.

Notes regarding the genetic elements introduced or modified in this LMO
To introduce the CRISPR/Cas9 gene cassette, plants were transformed using
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
-mediated transformation. The CRISPR/Cas9 machinery introduced a single base pair insertion within the coding sequence of the ATR gene, which caused a frameshift mutation. Transformants containing the gene cassette and the desired mutations were selected, and by means of conventional crossing with wild-type plants, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene cassette was removed by selecting T1 plants that only contained the desired mutation, but no longer contained the gene cassette (null-segregants). Therefore, the plants in the field trial are not expected to contain foreign genetic material. They should only contain the desired mutation.

How the expression of the gene(s) was affected
The gene has been edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulting in a frameshift mutation. Therefore, the full length protein is not expected to be present within the modified plants.

Additional Information
Additional Information
Please note that two additional lines were also created to knock-out ATR activity. One contains the full deletion of the gene and the other a single basepair insertion in a different location to also cause a frameshift mutation.
Primarily, ATM responds to double stranded breaks, whereas ATR is activated by single stranded DNA and defects in replication fork progression.
