| Abstract | In addition to cis-cleavage activity that recognizes and cleaves nucleic acid sequences, a trans-cleavage activity that indiscriminately and non-specifically cleaves single-stranded DNA or RNA has been discovered in some Cas proteins, including Cas12a and Cas13a. Various detection methods using this activity have been widely reported. Herein, we describe a new highly efficient DNA reporter (5′-TTATT-CCCCC-3′; TTATT-5C) that outperformed the existing AT-rich DNA reporter (5′-TTATT-3′) used in most Cas12a-based target nucleic detection assays. By systematically investigating the effect of DNA reporter length and sequence on the trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a, we achieved up to a 100-fold increase in fluorescence signal intensity derived from the trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a compared to that achieved using the existing AT-rich DNA reporter. The new DNA reporter was also applied, along with the existing AT-rich DNA reporter, for the detection of the Salmonella enterotoxin ( stn ) gene. Importantly, both detection speed and limit were significantly enhanced with the new DNA reporter. In addition, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was adopted to the CRISR/Cas-Based system of the new DNA reporter, thereby confirming its practical applicability. The high-efficiency DNA reporter described herein can pave the way for further improving the trans-cleavage activity of other Cas proteins, as well as the sensitivity of CRISPR/CasBased systems. |
