A Cas9–guide RNA complex preorganized for target DNA recognition

Jiang, Fuguo, Zhou, Kaihong, Ma, Linlin, Gressel, Saskia, Doudna, Jennifer A.·2015·Science

Abstract

An RNA seed poised to meet its target: The CRISPR-Cas system in prokaryotes precisely identifies infecting parasitic DNAs and viruses and destroys them. The CRISPR-Cas system has been adapted for facile genome editing, heralding a new age in molecular biology. Jiang et al. show that the Cas9 nuclease adopts a distinct confirmation when it binds to the targeting guide RNA. The guide RNA then assumes a preordered shape. This RNA “seed region” is thus poised to initiate recognition of the DNA target sequence. Science , this issue p. 1477

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
