[0060] A circular test area with a diameter of 4mm was printed on a nitrocellulose membrane (Millipore HF120) by a wax jet printer (Xerox ColourQube 8570N), and heated at 120°C for 2min to melt the wax into the membrane to form a hydrophobic barrier. 1 μL of Cas12a (148ng / uL) was spotted on each test area. After drying at room temperature for 10 minutes, block with 10 μL of 1×BB solution containing 1% BSA for 30 minutes. After washing twice with 20 μL 1×WB, add 10 μL 100 nM FAM-labeled L crRNA ii or C crRNA ii , and incubate for 30 minutes. Place the cardboard in a tank of 2 mL 1×WB to wash for 5 minutes, and after drying, use a fluorescence imager to scan and image.

Abstract

The invention discloses a Cas12a-CcrRNA system based on regulation and control of nuclease and circular guide RNA and application of the Cas12a-CcrRNA system, and belongs to the technical field of analysis and detection. It is found for the first time that CcrRNA synthesized through an enzymatic ligation reaction can reduce the activity of Cas12a on double-stranded DNA specific cleavage (cis) and single-stranded DNA non-specific cleavage (trans), when nuclease (NAzyme) cleaves CcrRNA, released LcrRNA can recover the activity of Cas12a, a nuclease activated Cas12-CcrRNA system (NA3C) is constructed, and the CcrRNA can be used as a Cas12-CcrRNA system (NA3C), so that the CcrRNA can be used for detecting the activity of Cas12a. The invention further designs a high-specificity detection method for ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and pathogenic bacteria (escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae), and the detection limits of the high-specificity detection method are as low as 500nM and 102CFU / mL respectively; the constructed NA3C system is further used for clinical evaluation of escherichia coli, and the result shows that the diagnosis sensitivity can reach 100%, the specificity is 90%, and the NA3C has the potential of being used for clinical diagnosis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of analysis and detection, and in particular relates to a Cas12a- C crRNA system and its application in biosensing. Background technique [0002] Molecular biosensing is crucial for clinical diagnosis, biosafety, food safety, and environmental monitoring. At present, CRISPR-Cas system has been widely used in the field of biosensing as a signal amplification tool. Researchers have established many nucleic acid detection methods based on the CRISPR-Cas system, which are widely used in the diagnosis of infectious or non-infectious diseases. However, the number of sensing methods for non-nucleic acid biomarkers (such as small molecules, proteins, and metal ions) is very limited and urgently needs to be expanded. [0003] In nature, covalently closed circular RNAs (circRNAs) widely exist in viroids, mimiviruses, and spliced ​​introns or exons in eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea. CircRNAs, which can be prepar...
