Mouse embryonic stem cells were cultured in M15 media (Knock-out DMEM (Gibco) and supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum (HyClone), GPS (glutamate-penicillin-streptomycin, Gibco) and 0.1 mM β-mercaptoethanol with SNL feeder cells. 25μg BACμ DNA was electroporated into 107 Pl2F7 ES-cells (for details on generation of these cells from the AB2.2 cell line see Supplementary Figures 1–3 online) in 0.9 ml PBS at 230 V, 500 μF. Transgenic colonies were selected with G418 (Gibco) and analyzed for the presence of BRCA2 gene by Southern blot. Genomic DNA was hybridized with a 581 bp fragment corresponding to intron 1 of BRCA2 as a 5 probe (nucleotides 13,869,785–13,870,365 of NT_024524.13) recognizing a 1,835 bp EcoRI fragment and a 356 bp fragment corresponding to exon 27 of BRCA2 as a 3′ probe (nucleotides 13,953,046–13,953,401 of NT_024524.13) recognizing a 4,275 bp EcoRI fragment (Fig. 1b). Double-positive clones were further tested for expression of BRCA2 by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. BRCA2 expressing clones were electroporated with Pgk-Cre plasmid4 (link) and 105 cells were seeded in a 100 mm dish with SNL-feeder cells. Recombinant colonies were selected in the HAT media (Gibco) for 5 days followed by 2 days in HT media (Gibco). Viable colonies were analyzed by Southern blot to confirm the loss of the conditional Brca2 allele. A 1.5 kb probe specific to Brca2 exon 11 (nucleotides 5208–6710 of NM 009765) has been used to detect a 2.2 kb EcoRV fragment corresponding to the mutant allele (ko) and a 4.8 kb fragment corresponding to the wild-type or conditional allele (cko) (Fig. 1e and Supplementary Figure 3 online). HATr colonies were also stained with methylene blue (2% methylene blue w/v in 70% ethanol for 15 minutes followed by washing with 70% ethanol) to facilitate their quantification.

Linear targeting vector (100μg) was introduced into R1 ES cells by electroporation, and the genotype of colonies resistant to 350μg/ml of Geneticin (Gibco BRL) was determined by Southern blot (Fig. 1B). Chimeric mice were generated by aggregation of ES cells with CD-1 morulae as described previously [10 (link)] and the modified allele was passed through the germline by breeding chimeras to CD1 mice. Gata6loxP/loxP mice were produced by breeding Gata6loxp(FRTneoFRT)/+ mice to B6;SJL-Tg(ACTFLPe)9205Dym/J mice [16 (link)] (Jackson Labs) to delete the FRTneoFRT cassette by Flp-mediated recombination in the germline. The ACTFLPe transgene was removed by breeding F1 Gata6loxP/loxP mice into CD-1 mice. Gata6+/del mice were generated by mating Gata6loxp(FRTneoFRT)/+ animals with B6.FVB-Tg(EIIa-cre)C5379Lmgd/J transgenic mice [17 (link)] (Jackson Labs) to allow Cre-mediate recombination between loxP elements in the germline. The EIIa-Cre transgene was removed by breeding Gata6+/del F1 mice with CD1 mice. The MCW IACUC committee approved all procedures using animals.

All animal procedures were performed in accordance with the regulations and protocols of the University of Arizona Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. On embryonic day 17, pregnant mice were euthanized using CO2 asphyxiation. EVL knockout mouse strain was a gift from Frank Gertler (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA), generated as described (Kwiatkowski et al., 2007 (link)). In brief, a targeting vector disrupting exon 2 and 3 of Evl was electroporated into R1 embryonic stem cells for homologous recombination, and a germline clone was isolated (confirmed by Southern blot and Western blot [Kwiatkowski et al., 2007 (link)]). EVL knockout strains were backcrossed six times with C57B/6J to increase congenic status. Wild-type and EVL knockout parents for generating embryonic primary cortical neuron cultures were derived from littermates from heterozygous crossings.

Rosa26 targeting by a knock-in strategy was performed based on the pROSA26–1 plasmid59 (link). Murine Snail cDNA (Snai1 cDNA; Library: IRAV MGC Mouse verified full length amplified cDNA; Clone: IRAVp968A0443D6, German Science Centre for Genome Research) was cloned into the targeting vector 3´ of a loxP-flanked transcriptional and translational stop element (loxP-stop-loxP, LSL) with a neomycin resistance cassette (Supplementary Fig. S1a). The targeting vector was linearized, electroporated into W4/129S6 embryonic stem cells, selection with 250 µg/ml geneticin imposed, and correctly targeted cell clones identified by PCR59 (link). Gene targeting was verified by Southern blot with an external 32P-labeled 5´ probe and EcoRV digested genomic DNA (Supplementary Fig. S1b). The Southern blot images were processed with an Amersham automatic Hyperprocessor (Amersham Biosciences). Two verified cell clones were injected into C57BL/6 J blastocysts (Polygene). Germ-line transmission was achieved in 2/2 clones harbouring the targeted allele. The mice were genotyped using a 3-primer PCR strategy (ref. 59 (link), Table 1 and Supplementary Fig. S1c).

A total of 138 participants aged 1–67 years were enrolled in this study (Table 1). The Cincinnati Fragile X Research and Treatment Center recruited participants with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) (55 male, 22 female), premutation carriers (PMCs) (2 male, 27 female), and typically developing controls (TDCs) (26 male, 6 female). Rush University completed clinical southern blot (SB) and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing on 105 participants (76 with FXS, 26 PMCs, and 3 TDCs) to confirm diagnosis and to evaluate repeat and/or methylation mosaicism status. Only one out of 77 FXS participants did not have clinical testing at the time of this study. In these tests, 26 of the 76 participants with FXS were classified as repeat and/or methylation mosaics. TDCs were recruited through online advertisement and did not have a history of developmental or neuropsychiatric disorders. All participants or legal guardians gave written or verbal assent. The CCHMC Institutional Review Board approved this project. Human subject work followed all relevant regulations and was in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.

WT‐RCMV‐E has previously been described (Ettinger et al, 2012 (link)). ΔE27‐RCMV‐E was generated by CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated genome editing. REF were transduced with a mixture of four CRISPR/Cas9 lentiviral vectors carrying sgRNAs that target viral genome up and downstream of the E27 gene (see Table EV3). Successfully transduced cells were selected with 2.5 μg/ml puromycin prior to infection with WT‐RCMV‐E. This resulted in an E27‐knockout virus (ΔE27) with a complete deletion of the 1970‐bp E27 gene. E27 deletion was verified by PCR and sequencing. Mutant virus was screened by limiting dilution and was double plaque‐purified. WT‐MCMV was reconstituted from the BAC described in (Jordan et al, 2011 (link)). ΔM27‐MCMV has been described previously (Le‐Trilling et al, 2018 (link)). The M27AxAxxA mutant was generated according to previously published procedures (Wagner et al, 2002 (link); Tischer et al, 2006 (link)) using the primers MCMV‐M27‐QC1‐3_1 and MCMV‐M27‐QC1‐3_2 (Table EV4). For the construction of the ΔM27‐E27HA virus, a DNA fragment harbouring one frt site, the ZeoR gene, the EF1 promoter and E27HA was introduced into the ΔM27‐MCMV‐BAC (harbouring an frt site instead of the M27) by FLP‐mediated homologous recombination in E. coli DH10B using the FLP‐expressing plasmid pCP20. Correct mutagenesis was confirmed by restriction digest analysis, Southern blot and PCR analysis. MCMV mutants were reconstituted by transfection of BAC DNA into permissive cells. Viral titres were determined by standard plaque titration on primary MEF, REF or MNC.

We searched for the predicted F. graminearum AP1 complex proteins using S. cerevisiae AP1 complex proteins (Aps1p, Apm1p, Apl2p, and Apl4p) as a reference to perform a BLAST search against the available fungal genome and identified FGSG_10034, FGSG_17141, FGSG_06317, and FGSG_01893 genetic loci encoding the homologues of AP1 complex proteins in F. graminearum. For convenience, we named these genes FgAP1σ, FgAP1u, FgAP1β, and FgAP1γ, respectively.
F. graminearum protoplast preparation and fungal transformation were conducted as described previously [52 (link)]. Deletions of FgAP1σ (FGSG_10034) genes were achieved using a split-marker approach [53 (link)]. Table S2 presents all the primers used for gene deletion. The FgAP1σ knockout mutants were successfully generated and further verified by Southern blot. For complementation assay, green fluorescent protein (GFP) fragment was tagged at the C-terminus of the FgAP1σ gene sequence. We amplified the FgAP1σ coding sequence under the control of its native promoter. The GFP fragment that was fused with the FgAP1σ gene sequence was inserted into a pKNT plasmid to generate FgAP1σ-GFP vector using the Cloning Kit (Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China). The resulting FgAP1σ-GFP construct was amplified using specific primer pairs and sequenced to verify its successful insertion into the plasmid. Finally, the FgAP1σ-GFP vector was transformed into the ΔFgap1σ mutant protoplasts to generate the complemented strain which was phenotypically similar to the PH-1.
