Fig. 2. Specificity of PAM recognition for collateral ssDNA cleavage by EcoCas3.

Fig. 2

Screening of all 64 possible target sites containing each of the three-nucleotide PAM sequences for trans cleavage activity by EcoCas3 (a) and by LbaCas12a (b). The heat maps represent the RFU per min for collateral cleavage activity. c Trans ssDNA cleavage by a crRNA-complementary or non-complementary ssDNA (TS or NTS, respectively). EcoCas3/EcoCascade partially activated by TS ssDNA in a PAM-dependent manner (3′-TTC-5′ only). d LbaCas12a activated by TS ssDNA in a PAM-independent manner (both 3′-AAAC-5′ and 3′-TTTG-5′). e Screening of all 64 possible target sites containing each of the three-nucleotide PAM sequences for collateral cleavage activity by the TS ssDNA. f Collateral cleavage activated by crRNA-complementary ssDNA, where the PAM region was double stranded but the rest of the protospacer was single stranded. dsDNA-activated collateral cleavage is also shown to the right. Row data in the heatmaps of a, b, e is available in the Source data file. Data in c, f are presented for n = 3 independent measurements and mean value, error bars represent SD values. Data in d are presented for n = 2 independent experiments with central value.
