Publication number: 20240309343Abstract: The present invention relates to a RNA expression modulating or editing method through chemical or optogenetic regulation of Cas13 protein activity. Specifically, in order to regulate the activity of Cas13 in the CRISPR-Cas13 system, a fragment of the Cas13 protein was generated to enable recombination, and a chemogenetically or optogenetically bindable protein was linked to each fragment. And, it was confirmed that the Cas13 protein can be activated by treatment of a low molecular weight compound or irradiation of light. Accordingly, the method of the present invention can be effectively used for disease treatment by regulating RNA expression or editing RNA mutations related to disease.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2022Publication date: September 19, 2024Inventors: Won Do Heo, Jeonghye Yu
