A method for inhibiting activation of a crisper / cas12a system without modification and additional stimulation

This invention belongs to the field of CRISPR / Cas12a system regulation technology, and discloses a method for post-activation inhibition of the CRISPR / Cas12a system without modification or additional stimulation. The core of this method is to provide a post-activation inhibition approach to address safety concerns such as runaway editing, off-target effects, and unexpected cytotoxicity caused by the long-term maintenance of high activity after CRISPR / Cas12a system activation. The core innovation of this method lies in the design of an RNA inhibitor (iRNA). This inhibitor requires no chemical modification and does not rely on external stimuli such as light, small molecule induction, or temperature changes to function, possessing advantages such as simple structure and ease of use. Its mechanism of action utilizes the conformational dynamic sensitivity of Cas12a itself, leveraging the thermodynamic advantages and kinetics of nucleic acid strand displacement reactions to induce conformational rearrangement of the activated Cas12a RNP complex, refolding it into an inactive state, thereby achieving highly efficient inhibition of the CRISPR / Cas12a system.
