N2 - Locus-directed DNA cleavage induced by the CRISPR-Cas9 system triggers DNA repair mechanisms allowing gene repair or targeted insertion of foreign DNA. For gene insertion to be successful, availability of a homologous donor template needs to be timed with cleavage of the DNA by the Cas9 endonuclease guided by a target-specific single guide RNA (sgRNA). We present a novel approach for targeted gene insertion based on a single integrase-defective lentiviral vector (IDLV) carrying a Cas9 off switch. Gene insertion using this approach benefits from transposon-based stable Cas9 expression, which is switched off by excision-only transposase protein co-delivered in IDLV particles carrying a combined sgRNA/donor vector. This one-vector approach supports potent (up to >80%) knockin of a full-length EGFP gene sequence. This traceless cell engineering method benefits from high stable levels of Cas9, timed intracellular availability of the molecular tools, and a built-in feature to turn off Cas9 expression after DNA cleavage. The simple technique is based on transduction with a single IDLV, which holds the capacity to transfer larger donor templates, allowing robust gene knockin or tagging of genes in a single step.
