Type VI CRISPR effector Cas13d from Ruminococcus flavefaciens XPD3002 (RfxCas13d) is an RNA-guided RNA endonuclease. RfxCas13d has been harnessed to knockdown gene expression with high specificity in various systems including mammalian cells. While inducible knockdown is advantageous over constitutive knockdown in many scenarios, current inducible systems of RfxCas13d express CRISPR RNA and Cas13d separately. Such systems could be cumbersome to handle and may hamper the application of RfxCas13d in some scenarios. Here, we design an all-in-one Cas13d lentivirus vector which renders efficient and inducible knockdown in a doxycycline dosage-dependent manner. Furthermore, we find that Cas13d has a short half-life in mammalian cells. As a result, knockdown can be promptly reversed after doxycycline withdrawal. This vector is particularly useful for applications involving indispensable genes and/or in cells hard to transduce.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
