Deletion of the nuclear localization signal (NLS) regulates Cas13d subcellular localization. (A) Summary of the constructs used in this study. Cas13d contains two NLSs that allow Cas13d to enter the nucleus. Removal of the NLS enables Cas13d to cleave the complementary target RNA within the cytoplasm but not the nucleus. (B) HEK293T cells were transfected with the CasRx expression vector or (C) CasRx-del-NLS, and then, IFA was performed at 24 hpi; the HA tag at the C-terminus of Cas13d was stained and labeled with Alexa Fluor 568-conjugated goat antibodies. Nuclei were labeled with DAPI. Scale bar = 2 μm.
