Abstract
The clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9(CRISPR/Cas9)system is an RNA-guided platform for highly efficient and specific genome targeting in diverse organisms,which has been exploited for various applications in gene manipulation.Compared with the constantly active CRISPR/Cas9 function,conditional control of its activity can improve the performance of the system with reduced side effects and high spatiotemporal precision.The pH-responsive triplex RNA was success-ful used in CRISPR-derived RNA/trans-activating crRNA(crRNA/tracrRNA)of CRISPR/Cas9,thus affecting RNA/dead Cas9(dCas9)complex to target DNA in vitro and in vivo.This design of triplex RNA opens a new window towards the broad involvement of eukaryotic cells for conditional control of CRISPR/Cas9 function.
