RNA-guided DNA endonucleases derived from CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune systems are widely used as powerful genome-engineering tools. Among the diverse CRISPR-Cas nucleases, the type V-F Cas12f (also known as Cas14) proteins are exceptionally compact and associate with a guide RNA to cleave single- and double-stranded DNA targets. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of Cas12f1 (also known as Cas14a) in complex with a guide RNA and its target DNA. Unexpectedly, the structure revea ...[more]
