Cas12a crRNA

Usage and Biology

The Exeter iGEM 2024 team are designing a rapid detection system for Bovine Tuberculosis (bTB) using CRISPR-Cas detection systems.

This basic part codes for the CRISPR-RNA (crRNA) repeat sequence found in the class II, type V CRISPR loci of Lachnospiraceae bacterium ND2006 [1]. This sequence is combined with one of five spacer sequences that are complimentary to our target bovine TB DNA. Once transcribed into RNA, the 23-nucleotide repeat sequence folds into a single hairpin loop, which is recognised and bound by LbCas12a, leaving the 20-nucleotide spacer sequence free to bind to the target DNA (Figure 1).

Characterisation

This crRNA sequence was taken from the paper by Moreno-Mateos et al. [2]. It was synthesised by IDT as part of one of five composite parts (BBa_K5124035 to BBa_K5124040) each containing: a 3’ spacer sequence (BBa_K5124018 to BBa_K5124023), 5’ T7 promoter (https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_I719005 BBa_I719005) and BioBrick compatible prefix and suffixes. The g-block was cloned into a high copy plasmid (origin of replication from pUC18 [3]) carrying an ampicillin selection marker.
