Full details of experimental procedures are provided in the supplementary materials. SpyCas9 and its point mutants were expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta 2 strain and purified essentially as described (8 (link)). SpyCas9 crystals were grown using the hanging drop vapor diffusion method from 0.1 M tris-Cl (pH 8.5), 0.2 to 0.3 M Li2SO4, and 14 to 15% (w/v) PEG 3350 (polyethylene glycol, molecular weight 3350) at 20°C. Diffraction data were measured at beamlines 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 of the Advanced Light Source (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), and at beamlines PXI and PXIII of the Swiss Light Source (Paul Scherrer Institut) and processed using XDS (50 (link)). Phasing was performed with crystals of selenomethionine (SeMet)–substituted SpyCas9 and native Cas9 crystals soaked individually with 10 mM Na2WO4, 10 mM CoCl2, 1 mM thimerosal, and 1 mM Er(III) acetate. Phases were calculated using autoSHARP (51 (link)) and improved by density modification using Resolve (52 (link)). The atomic model was built in Coot (53 (link)) and refined using phenix.refine (54 (link)).
A. naeslundii Cas9 (AnaCas9) was expressed in E. coli Rosetta 2 (DE3) as a fusion protein containing an N-terminal His10 tag followed by MBP and a TEV (tobacco etch virus) protease cleavage site. The protein was purified by Ni-NTA (nickel–nitrilotriacetic acid) and heparin affinity chromatography, followed by a gel filtration step. Crystals of native and SeMet-substituted AnaCas9 were grown from 10% (w/v) PEG 8000, 0.25 M calcium acetate, 50 mM magnesium acetate, and 5 mM spermidine. Native and SeMet single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) data sets were collected at beamline 8.3.1 of the Advanced Light Source, processed using Mosflm (55 (link)), and scaled in Scala (56 (link)). Phases were calculated in Solve/Resolve (52 (link)), and the atomic model was built in Coot and refined in Refmac (57 (link)) and phenix.refine (54 (link)).
For biochemical assays, crRNAs were synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies, and tracrRNA was prepared by in vitro transcription as described (8 (link)). The sequences of RNA and DNA reagents used in this study are listed in table S2. Cleavage reactions were performed at room temperature in reaction buffer [20 mM tris-Cl (pH 7.5), 100 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 5% glycerol, 1 mM dithiothreitol] using 1 nM radio-labeled dsDNA substrates and 1 nM or 10 nM Cas9:crRNA:tracrRNA. Cleavage products were resolved by 10% denaturing (7 M urea) PAGE and visualized by phosphorimaging. Cross-linked peptide-DNA heteroconjugates were obtained by incubating 200 pmol of catalytically inactive (D10A/H840A) Cas9 with crRNA:tracrRNA guide and 10-fold molar excess of BrdU containing dsDNA substrate for 30 min at room temperature, followed by irradiation with UV light (308 nm) for 30 min. S1 nuclease and phosphatase–treated tryptic digests were analyzed using a Dionex UltiMate3000 RSLCnano liquid chromatograph connected in-line with an LTQ Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer equipped with a nanoelectrospray ionization source (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
For negative-stain EM, apo-SpyCas9, SpyCas9: RNA, and SpyCas9:RNA:DNA complexes were reconstituted in reaction buffer, diluted to a concentration of ~25 to 60 nM, applied to glow-discharged 400-mesh continuous carbon grids, and stained with 2% (w/v) uranyl acetate solution. Data were acquired using a Tecnai F20 Twin transmission electron microscope operated at 120 keV at a nominal magnification of either ×80,000 (1.45 Å at the specimen level) or ×100,000 (1.08 Å at the specimen level) using low-dose exposures (~20 e Å−2) with a randomly set defocus ranging from −0.5 to −1.3 μm. A total of 300 to 400 images of each Cas9 sample were automatically recorded on a Gatan 4k × 4k CCD (charge-coupled device) camera using the MSI-Raster application within the automated macromolecular microscopy software Leginon (58 (link)). Particles were preprocessed in Appion (45 (link)) before projection matching refinement with libraries from EMAN2 and SPARX (59 (link), 60 (link)) using RCT reconstructions (34 (link)) as initial models.

Zebrafish embryos of the AB wild-type strain (originally obtained from the Zebrafish International Resource Center, Eugene, Oregon, USA) were raised at 28°C. Zebrafish husbandry, embryo collection, and embryo and larva maintenance were performed as described [20] , [21] . Toxicity assays were standardly performed in 24-well microtiter plates (wrapped with Parafilm to limit solvent evaporation) using 10 embryos per well in 1 ml of 0.3× Danieau's medium (17 mM NaCl, 2 mM KCl, 0.12 mM MgSO4, 1.8 mM Ca(NO3)2 and 1.5 mM HEPES, pH 7.6). Each experiment was repeated 3 times for a total of 30 embryos or larvae analyzed per solvent per developmental staged tested. Data were only recorded for experiments in which the percentage of normal embryos or larvae in the control group was at least 90%. Embryos and larvae were exposed to solvents and carriers at 2–4 cells, 4 hpf, and at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 dpf and evaluated for signs of toxicity 24 hours later. In determining the maximum tolerated concentration (MTC) for each solvent and carrier, all post-exposure embryos and larvae were allowed to develop in larva medium to 9 dpf, so as to detect any deleterious effects appearing after this 24-hour window. Solvents and carriers were obtained from the following suppliers: acetone (Chemlab, Zedelgem, Belgium), acetonitrile (Acros Organics, Geel, Belgium), albumin (BSA, Sigma-Aldrich, Bornem, Belgium), butanone (Riedel-de Haën, Seelze, Germany), cyclodextrin (2- hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, Sigma-Aldrich), dimethyl formamide (Acros), DMSO (Agros), ethanol (Fisher Scientific, Doornik, Belgium), glycerol (Acros), isopropanol (Chemlab), methanol (Chemlab), polyethylene glycol-400 (Fluka, Bornem, Belgium), propylene glycol (Certa, Eigenbrakel, Belgium), solketal (Merck, Overijse, Belgium). Statistical analyses were done using chi-square in Microsoft Excel.

Isolation of mouse bone marrow-derived MSCs and MSCs from human umbilical cord Wharton’s Jelly (hUC-MSCs) followed by immunoselection (Supplemental Figure 1) and collection of conditioned media (CM) is outlined in the Supplemental Material.
Concentrated conditioned media were applied on a column of 16/60 Hiprep Sephacryl S-400 HR (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ) that was pre-equilibrated with a buffer containing 20 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.4) and 300 mM NaCl using an ÄKTA purifier liquid chromatography system (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ). Fractions (1 ml) were collected at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. Polystyrene nanospheres of 50 nm diameter (Phosphorex, Fall River, MA) were used as a size reference and elution fractions corresponding to this standard’s retention volume were pooled and further analyzed.
For the isolation of exosomes from hUC-MSCs and human dermal fibroblasts, serum-free culture medium conditioned for 24 hours was filtered (0.2 μm) and concentrated by ultrafiltration device with 100 kDa cut-off (Millipore). Exosomes in CM were precipitated with 1/3 volume of polyethylene glycol (PEG) buffer (33.4% PEG 4000, 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 1 M NaCl) overnight at 4°C followed by centrifugation at 12,000 xg for 5 min and resuspension in PBS (pH7.4). Exosomes in PEG-precipitated fraction were further purified by S200 size-exclusion chromatography. Seventy-five μl sample was applied on a S200 column (Clontech, Mountain View, CA) preequilibrated with PBS by spinning at 700 xg for 5 min and the exosomal fraction was subsequently eluted in the flow-through by centrifugation at 700 xg for 5 min.
In some experiments, exosomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation at 100,000 xg for 2 hours and the pellet was subsequently washed with PBS followed by repeat ultracentrifugation for 2 hours at the same speed. Exosome pellet resuspended in PBS was measured for protein concentration by Bradford assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Expression of exosomal markers between the two preparations was similar, as shown in Supplemental Figure 2.

Male CFW mice (7 week old, 24-30 g) were purchased from Charles River Laboratories. All the experiments were performed according to protocols approved by the Animal Use and Care Committee of University of California, Davis. Inhibitors (1 mg each) were dissolved in 1 mL of oleic ester-rich triglyceride containing 20% polyethylene glycol (average molecular weight: 400) to give a clear solution for oral administration. Since many of these compounds are high melting and relatively water insoluble, it is important that they are in true solution to study their pharmacokinetics. The 20% PEG 400 in oleic ester rich triglyceride gave true solutions for all compounds reported. To avoid ill defined levels of linoleate esters (18:2) in the vehicle we used the synthetic triglyceride of oleic esters (18:1) or triolein for vehicle. Cassette 1 contained compounds 2, 24, 25, and 27, cassette 2, compounds 12, 13, and 14, cassette 3 compounds 3, 4 and AUDA, cassette 4 compounds 2, 15, and 35 and cassette 5 compounds 40 and 52. Each cassette was orally administered to 3 or 4 mice at a dose of 5 mg/kg in 120-150μl of vehicle depending on animal weight. Blood (10 μL) was collected from the tail vein using a pipette tip rinsed with 7.5% EDTA(K3) at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours after oral dosing with the inhibitor. The blood samples were prepared according to the methods detailed in our previous study.24 (link) Blood samples were analyzed using an Agilent 1200 Series HPLC equipped with a 4.6 mm X 150 mm Inertsil ODS-4 3 μm column (GL Science Inc., Japan) held at 40 °C and coupled with an Applied Biosystems 4000 QTRAP hybrid, triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer. The instrument was equipped with a linear ion trap and a Turbo V ion source and was operated in positive ion MRM mode (see Table S1). The solvent system consisted of water/acetic acid (999/1 v/v, solvent A) and acetonitrile/acetic acid (999/1 v/v; solvent B). The gradient was begun at 30% solvent B and was linearly increased to 100% solvent B in 5 min. This was maintained for 3 min, then returned to 30% solvent B in 2 min. The flow rate was 0.4 mL/min. The injection volume was 10 μL and the samples were kept at 4 °C in the auto sampler. Optimized conditions for mass spectrometry are in Table S1.
For clarity standard deviation is not included in Figure S1. There is less than 5% variation in compound levels in replicate blood samples from the same mice. Thus the standard deviation shown in Figure S2A-F represents variation among mice treated with the same compound. The PK parameters of individual mice were calculated by fitting the time dependent curve of blood inhibitor concentration (Figure S2) to a non-compartmental analysis with the WinNonlin software (Pharsight, Mountain View, CA). Parameters determined include the time of maximum concentration (Tmax), maximum concentration (Cmax), half-life (t1/2), and area under the concentration–time curve to terminal time (AUCt). In separate studies to determine dose linearity of selected compounds, pharmacokinetic parameters determined by cassette dosing were found to be predictive of results from dosing individual compounds.24 (link),50 (link)Figure S3 compares the pharmacokinetics of compound 52 with that of the bridging compound APAU.24 (link),25 (link),32 (link) Graphs of exposure as a function of potency are shown in Figures S4 and 5.
