FnCpf1, crRNA and template DNA. (a) Domain organization of FnCpf1. (b) SDS–PAGE gel showing purified wild-type (wt) FnCpf1 and selenomethionine-derivatized FnCpf1 (SeMet FnCpf1). Lanes M contain molecular-weight markers (labelled in kDa). (c) Schematic representation of the CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and the target and nontarget (PAM) DNA strands used in assembly of the complex. (d) Native PAGE gel showing the fractions corresponding to the Cpf1–crRNA–DNA complex purified by gel-filtration chromatography. (e) Separation profile of the ternary Cpf1–RNA–DNA complex by gel-filtration chromatography (see §2). (f) Native PAGE gel showing the purification of the FnCpf1 complex by preparative vertical-tubular electrophoresis (see §2). Native PAGE gel showing the fractions corresponding to the Cpf1–crRNA–DNA complex purified by gel-filtration chromatography; the fractions pooled and used for crystallization are indicated. |
