description Camelid single-domain antibody fragments (nanobodies) are an emerging force in therapeutic biopharmaceuticals and clinical diagnostic reagents in recent years. Nearly all nanobodies available to date have been obtained by animal immunization, a bottleneck restricting the large-scale application of nanobodies. In this study, we developed three kinds of gene designated-region pan-editing (GDP) technologies to introduce multiple mutations in complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of nanobodies in vitro. Including the integration of G-quadruplex fragments in CDRs, which induces the spontaneous multiple mutations in CDRs; however, these mutant sequences are highly similar, resulting in a lack of sequences diversity in the CDRs. We also used CDR-targeting traditional gRNA-guided base-editors, which effectively diversify the CDRs. And most importantly, we developed the self-assembling gRNAs, which are generated by reprogrammed tracrRNA hijacking of endogenous mRNAs as crRNAs. Using base-editors guided by self-assembling gRNAs, we can realize the iteratively diversify the CDRs. And we believe the last GDP technology is highly promising in immunization-free nanobody library construction, and the full development of this novel nanobody discovery platform can realize the synthetic evolution of nanobodies in vitro.
