摘要

CRISPR-Cas12a (CRISPR-Cpf1) was reported to have multiple types of cleavage activities. Without the assistance of CRISPR RNA (crRNA), we investigated DNase activity and substrate specificity of Cas12a orthologs in the presence of diverse divalent metal ions. Cas12a from different species are capable of degrading single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and/or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), depending on the metal ions used. In spite of sharing high sequence similarity and functional domains among diverse Cas12a orthologs, only Acidaminococcus sp. Cas12a (AsCas12a) showed a predominant preference for cleaving ssDNA, but no detectable activity toward dsDNA substrate in the presence of magnesium (II) ions. In addition, we found that both AsCas12a and Francisella novicida Cas12a (FnCas12a) caused substantial dsDNA cleavage in the presence of manganese (II) ion. More importantly, the DNase activities can be inhibited by synthetic DNA oligonucleotides with phosphorothioate linkage modifications. Overall, ssDNase activity of the Cas12a orthologs uncovered a distinct approach for DNA cleavage compared with crRNA-guided dsDNA breaks, and provided insights into potential biological and therapeutic applications.
