Gold Nanoparticle Enabled Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance on Unique Gold Nanomushroom Structures for On-Chip CRISPR-Cas13a Sensing

Jacob Waitkus et al.

Summary: A novel localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) system based on the coupling of gold nanomushrooms (AuNMs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been developed to achieve a significant plasmonic resonant shift. By optimizing the size, surface chemistry, and concentration of the AuNPs, the LSPR effect can be maximized. This system has been integrated with a CRISPR-Cas13a RNA detection assay for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA targets, providing a simple, specific, isothermal, and label-free molecular diagnostic system.

Prediction of on-target and off-target activity of CRISPR-Cas13d guide RNAs using deep learning

Hans-Hermann Wessels et al.

Summary: Accurate prediction of on-target activity and off-target avoidance is crucial for RNA-targeting CRISPR effectors in transcriptome engineering. In this study, we designed and tested over 200,000 RfxCas13d guide RNAs with mismatches and indels. We found that the impact of mismatches and indels on Cas13d activity is dependent on the position and context, and G-U wobble pairings are better tolerated. Using a large-scale dataset, we trained a convolutional neural network called TIGER, which outperforms existing models in predicting efficacy. Combined with specific mismatches, TIGER provides a framework for precise control of gene dosage.

Structural basis for Cas9 off-target activity

Martin Pacesa et al.

Summary: The crystallographic structures of Cas9 bound to off-target substrates reveal that noncanonical base-pairing interactions within the guide:off-target heteroduplex enable off-target binding. Single-nucleotide deletions in off-target substrates are accommodated by base skipping or multiple noncanonical base pairs. PAM-distal mismatches result in duplex unpairing and induce a conformational change in the Cas9 REC lobe. These insights contribute to the improved rational design of guide RNAs and off-target prediction algorithms.
