Construct Pattern·Research·Since 2016

Also known as: CRISPR-precise light-mediated unveiling of sgRNAs

Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

CRISPR-plus is a light-activated CRISPR/Cas9 strategy in which guide RNA activity is suppressed by photocleavable protectors and restored by illumination. It enables optical control of genome editing and was reported to be compatible with simultaneous targeting of multiple DNA sequences.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

This construct pattern is useful for imposing light-dependent control over CRISPR/Cas9 activity through the guide RNA rather than by altering Cas9 itself. The reported compatibility with simultaneous targeting of multiple DNA sequences suggests utility for multiplexed editing designs that require temporal activation by light.

Problem solved

CRISPR-plus addresses the problem of how to keep CRISPR/Cas9 inactive until a defined light stimulus is applied. The method specifically solves this by photocaging guide RNA activity with photocleavable protectors, thereby enabling light-triggered unveiling of sgRNA function.

Implementation involves guide RNAs bearing photocleavable protectors that block activity until light exposure. The supplied evidence does not provide practical details on protector chemistry, construct architecture, delivery format, or required optical parameters.

The provided evidence does not specify illumination wavelength, uncaging kinetics, editing efficiency, off-target behavior, or performance across cell types or organisms. Independent replication is not documented in the supplied material, so validation breadth remains limited.
