ABSTRACT
CRISPR-LbuCas13a has emerged as a revolutionary tool for inâ
vitro diagnosis. Similar to other Cas effectors, LbuCas13a requires Mg2+ to maintain its nuclease activity. However, the effect of other divalent metal ions on its trans-cleavage activity remains less explored. Herein, we addressed this issue by combining experimental and molecular dynamics simulation analysis. In vitro studies showed that both Mn2+ and Ca2+ could replace Mg2+ as cofactors of LbuCas13a. In contrast, Ni2+ , Zn2+ , Cu2+ , or Fe2+ inhibits the cis- and trans-cleavage activity, while Pb2+ does not affect it. Importantly, molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that calcium, magnesium, and manganese hydrated ions have a strong affinity to nucleotide bases, thus stabilizing the conformation of crRNA repeat region and enhancing the trans-cleavage activity. Finally, we showed that combination of Mg2+ and Mn2+ can further enhance the trans-cleavage activity to allow amplified RNA detection, revealing its potential advantage for inâ
vitro diagnosis.
