| Description |
GenCRISPR™ ErCas12a Nuclease is an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease from Eubacterium rectale. Cas12a (previously known as Cpf1) belongs to
the Class 2 Type V CRISPR/Cas system. Different from CRISPR/Cas9 system, the
ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex of CRISPR/Cas12a system is formed by Cas12a and
crRNA, it recognizes a T-rich protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and results in a
staggered DNA double-strand break (DSB). After the specific
cleavage, Cas12a can also activate collateral cleavage activity towards
adjacent non-specific ssDNA sequences. Hence, Cas12a
nuclease is a good alternative for Cas9 in certain target DNA editing, and
provides a novel strategy for DNA detection.

A 20 μl reaction in 1 × Cas12a Nuclease Reaction Buffer containing 80 ng PCR product, 20 ng crRNA, and 40/60 ng GenCRISPR™ ErCas12a Nuclease (Cat. No. Z03762) for 60 min at 37°C results in a digestion efficiency of PCR product higher than 90%, as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
