See: Guide RNA, CRISPR. Complementary base pairing between the sgRNA and genomic DNA allows targeting of Cas9 or dCas9. A small guide RNA (sgRNA), or gRNA is an RNA with around 20 nucleotides used to direct Cas9 or dCas9 to their targets. gRNAs contain two major regions of importance for CRISPR systems: the scaffold and spacer regions.
CRISPR also utilizes single base-pair editing proteins to create specific edits at one or two bases in the target sequence. CRISPR/Cas9 was fused with specific enzymes that initially could only change C to T and G to A mutations and their reverse. This was accomplished eventually without requiring any DNA cleavage.
The system has 2 CRISPR loci and 9 Cas genes. It seems to be homologous to the I-F system found in Yersinia pestis. Moreover, like the bacterial CRISPR-Cas system, ICP1 CRISPR-Cas can acquire new sequences, which allows phage and host to co-evolve. [177] [178] Certain archaeal viruses were shown to carry mini-CRISPR arrays containing one or two ...
Now that we have CRISPR, that’s a pretty high bar to do better than that. Some of them can be used as biosensors, and so RNA can be evolved so that it glows when it sees a particular toxic compound.
