Discovery and Engineering of a New BvCas12a Nuclease for Mammalian Genome Editing and Nucleic Acid Detection
2024-08-07
Abstract excerpt
Cas12a is an RNA-guided endonuclease that has emerged as a powerful gene-editing tool. We have identified a novel Cas protein, BvCas12a, from Butyricimonas virosa with a 5’-TYTN protospacer adjacent motif (PAM). BvCas12a exhibits double-stranded DNA cleavage activity in vitro and genome editing activity in eukaryotic cells. Though the editing efficiency of BvCas12a is marginally lower than that of AsCas12a, the...
