Lbu-Cas13a with an N-terminal 6xHistidine Tag and C-Terminal Anionic Tag (Composite Part)

Cas13a is an enzyme originating from Leptotrichia buccalis (Lbu) which functions to cleave single-stranded RNAs (ssRNAs); particularly mRNAs. This function is achieved following protein-RNA complex formation with CRISPR RNA (crRNA) via crRNA backbone contacts with residues from the Helical-2, HEPN1, and Linker domains of Cas13a. The crRNA contains a spacer region coding for a direct repeat stem loop as well as a region complementary to target ssRNAs. Once the enzyme complex interacts with a target ssRNA, a structural conformation change occurs within the domains of the protein that permits active site formation for non-discriminate ssRNA cleavage (O’Connel et al., 2019).

This composite part includes the IPTG-inducible T7 promoter (BBa_J64997), RBS BBa_B0034, Lbu-Cas13a with an N-terminal 6xHistidine Tag and C-Terminal Anionic Tag coding region (BBa_K3738020), and double terminator BBa_B0015.The part is codon-optimized for use in E. coli It is improved from the Lethbridge High School iGEM 2019's Parts BBa_K3001003, BBa_K3001000 and BBa_K3001002 by introducing the anionic MS2 phage-like-particle uptake anionic tag as well as the transcriptional and translational regulators for optimal overexpression and 6XHistidine tag required for nickel affinity chromatography purification.
