The effect of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (sulfonol) and certain froth breakers on the activity of endonuclease was studied in the cultural broth of Serratia marcescens in order to find out whether sulfonol could be used for limiting the infection. Sulfonol was found to have no effect on the cultural growth; it increased the activity of endonuclease in the cultural broth, and the peak of the activity appeared earlier than in the control medium. Propanol B-400 was shown to be the best froth breaker.

Nucleic acid nanostructures offer unique opportunities for biomedical applications due to their sequence-programmable structures and functions, which enable the design of complex responses to molecular cues. Control of the biological activity of therapeutic cargoes based on endogenous molecular signatures holds the potential to overcome major hurdles in translational research: cell specificity and off-target effects. Endogenous microRNAs (miRNAs) can be used to profile cell type and cell state, and are ideal inputs for RNA nanodevices.

Microglial double stranded DNA accumulation induced by DNase II deficiency drives neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.

Background: Deoxyribonuclease 2 (DNase II) is pivotal in the clearance of cytoplasmic double stranded DNA (dsDNA). Its deficiency incurs DNA accumulation in cytoplasm, which is a hallmark of multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Our previous study showed that neuronal DNase II deficiency drove tau hyperphosphorylation and neurodegeneration (Li et al.

'Splice-at-will' Cas12a crRNA engineering enabled direct quantification of ultrashort RNAs.

Nucleic Acids Res

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Applied Surface and Colloid Chemistry, Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry for Life Science of Shaanxi Province, School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Shaanxi Normal University, 620 West Chang'an Avenue, Chang'an District, Xi'an, Shaanxi 710119, P.R. China.

We present a robust 'splice-at-will' CRISPR RNA (crRNA) engineering mechanism that overcomes the limitations of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas system in directly detecting ultrashort RNAs. In this strategy, an intact Cas12a crRNA can be split from almost any site of the spacer region to obtain a truncated crRNA (tcrRNA) that cannot activate Cas12a even after binding an auxiliary DNA activator. While splicing tcrRNAs with a moiety of ultrashort RNA, the formed combination can work together to activate Cas12a efficiently, enabling 'splice-at-will' crRNA engineering.

CRISPR-Cas12a is widely used for genome editing and biomarker detection since it can create targeted double-stranded DNA breaks and promote non-specific DNA cleavage after identifying specific DNA. To mitigate the off-target DNA cleavage of Cas12a, we previously developed a Cas12a variant (FnoCas12a ) by introducing double proline substitutions (K969P/D970P) in a conserved helix called the bridge helix (BH). In this work, we used cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) to understand the molecular mechanisms of BH- mediated activation of Cas12a.
