Trans-activating crRNA

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
tracrRNA at Cas9 (green)

Trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA) is an RNA that occurs in bacteria as part of the antiviral adaptive immune system CRISPR and is used for the CRISPR / Cas method , CRISPRi and CRISPRa .

properties

The tracrRNA is encoded in trans . It was first described in 2011 in Streptococcus pyogenes . The tracrRNA binds to the crRNA via base pairing and is part of the ribonucleoprotein complex of most Cas proteins (for example Cas9 , Cas12b ). The RNA double strand of crRNA and tracrRNA is converted into the active form via a cut through RNase III and serves the CRISPR / Cas as an adapter for binding the target DNA to be cut. To simplify the use in a CRISPR-based method as the CRISPR / Cas method CRISPRi and CRISPRa is mostly instead of the two RNA (tracrRNA and crRNA) a sgRNA used.
