Extended Data Fig. 2. Biochemical characterization of LwaCas13a RNA cleavage activity.

Extended Data Fig. 2

a, LwaCas13a has more active RNAse activity than LshCas13a. b, Gel electrophoresis of ssRNA1 after incubation with LwaCas13a and with and without crRNA 1 for varying amounts of times. c, Gel electrophoresis of ssRNA1 after incubation with varying amounts of LwaCas13a-crRNA complex. d, Sequence and structure of ssRNA 4 and ssRNA 5. crRNA spacer sequence is highlighted in blue. e, Gel electrophoresis of ssRNA 4 and ssRNA 5 after incubation with LwaCas13a and crRNA 1. f, Sequence and structure of ssRNA 4 with sites of poly-x modifications highlighted in red. crRNA spacer sequence is highlighted in blue. g, Gel electrophoresis of ssRNA 4 with each of 4 possible poly-x modifications incubated with LwaCas13a and crRNA 1. h, LwaCas13a can process pre-crRNA from the L. wadei CRISPR-Cas locus. i, Cleavage efficiency of ssRNA 1 for crRNA spacer truncations after incubation with LwaCas13a.
