  • Type II CRISPR-Cas systems are considered the simplest in terms of components.
  • the processing of the CRISPR array into mature crRNAs does not require the presence of a special endonuclease subunit, but rather a small trans-encoded crRNA (tracrRNA) with a region complementary to the array repeat sequence; the tracrRNA interacts with both its corresponding effector nuclease (e.g, Cas9) and the repeat sequence to form a precursor dsRNA structure, which is cleaved by endogenous RNAse III to generate a mature effector enzyme loaded with both tracrRNA and crRNA.
  • Cas II nucleases are DNA nucleases.
  • Type II effectors generally exhibit a structure comprising a RuvC-like endonuclease domain that adopts the RNase H fold with an unrelated HNH nuclease domain inserted within the folds of the RuvC-like nuclease domain.
  • the RuvC-like domain is responsible for the cleavage of the target (e.g., crRNA complementary) DNA strand, while the HNH domain is responsible for cleavage of the displaced DNA strand.
  • Type V CRISPR-Cas systems are characterized by a nuclease effector (e.g., Casl2) structure similar to that of Type II effectors, comprising a RuvC-like domain. Similar to Type II, most (but not all) Type V CRISPR systems use a tracrRNA to process pre-crRNAs into mature crRNAs; however, unlike Type II systems which requires RNAse III to cleave the pre-crRNA into multiple crRNAs, type V systems are capable of using the effector nuclease itself to cleave pre-crRNAs. Like Type-II CRISPR-Cas systems, Type V CRISPR-Cas systems are DNA nucleases.
  • Casl2 nuclease effector
  • Type V enzymes e.g., Cas 12a
  • Cas 12a some Type V enzymes appear to have a robust single-stranded nonspecific deoxyribonuclease activity that is activated by the first crRNA directed cleavage of a double-stranded target sequence.
  • Type VI CRISPR-Cas systems have RNA-guided RNA endonucleases. Instead of RuvC- like domains, the single polypeptide effector of Type VI systems (e.g., Casl3) comprises two HEPN ribonuclease domains. Differing from both Type II and V systems, Type VI systems also appear to not need a tracrRNA for processing of pre-crRNA into crRNA. Similar to type V systems, however, some Type VI systems (e.g., C2C2) appear to possess robust single-stranded nonspecific nuclease (ribonuclease) activity activated by the first crRNA directed cleavage of a target RNA.
  • Type VI systems e.g., C2C2C2
  • class 2 CRISPR-Cas have been most widely adopted for engineering and development as designer nuclease/genome editing applications.
  • One of the early adaptations of such a system for in vitro use involved (i) recombinantly- expressed, purified full-length Cas9 (e.g., a class 2, Type II Cas enzyme) isolated from S. pyogenes SF370.
  • a later improved, engineered system involved the crRNA of (ii) joined to the 5' end of (iii) by a linker (e.g., GAAA) to form a single fused synthetic guide RNA (sgRNA) capable of directing Cas9 to a target by itself (compare top and bottom panel of FIG. 2).
  • a linker e.g., GAAA
  • sgRNA single fused synthetic guide RNA
  • Such engineered systems can be adapted for use in mammalian cells by providing DNA vectors encoding (i) an ORF encoding codon-optimized Cas9 (e.g., a class 2. Type II Cas enzyme) under a suitable mammalian promoter with a C-terminal nuclear localization sequence (e.g., SV40 NLS) and a suitable polyadenylation signal (e.g, TK pA signal); and (ii) an ORF encoding an sgRNA (having a 5' sequence beginning with G followed by 20 nt of a complementary targeting nucleic acid sequence joined to a 3' tracr-binding sequence, a linker, and the tracrRNA sequence) under a suitable Polymerase III promoter (e.g., the U6 promoter).
