KPT330 and Cas9 mRNA Export in Precision Editing
2026-09-11
The reference study identifies selective inhibitors of nuclear export, including KPT330, as indirect CRISPR-Cas9 modulators that reduce editing by disrupting Cas9 mRNA export rather than inhibiting Cas9 protein directly. This mechanism improved the specificity of genome- and base-editing systems in human cells and suggests that controlling the duration of Cas9 expression can complement guide and enzyme engineering strategies.
