    SignalChem’s highly purified recombinant Leptotrichia wadei Cas13a (LwCas13a) protein (>90% purity) without nuclear localization signal (NLS) is used for CRISPR-based RNA detection technologies and for CRISPR-mediated in vitro applications.  The enzyme was expressed in E. coli and purified using a his tag.

    LwCas13a protein combines with guide RNA (gRNA) to form a stable ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex that enables the inactive nuclease to be guided to the specific RNA target site. Once guided to the specific cleavage site, LwCas13a becomes activated to specifically and precisely cleave the RNA, and to indiscriminately trans-cleave unspecific single stranded RNA (ssRNA) nearby. A short single-stranded RNA labeled with a fluorophore and a quencher on the two termini can be used as a reporter to generate a detectable fluorescence signal for highly precise detection of the guide RNA-targeted RNA sequence. The highly precise detection system can be combined with isothermal pre-amplification procedures including RPA (Recombinase Polymerase Amplification) and LAMP, to achieve one-pot reaction systems, suitable for field-testing, and offering many advantages over qPCR-based detection.

    Moreover, Cas13a proteins have been shown to knock down oncogene mRNAs very efficiently and are extremely promising potential precision oncology tools.
