Abstract

Through the integration of CRISPR/Cpf1 with optogenetics and a reduction-responsive motif, we have developed a photoactivatable cross-linked crRNA that enables precise genome editing upon light exposure. This system also allows for termination of editing activity through external application of reducing agent. The dual-stimuli-responsive CRISPR/Cpf1 editing process operates in a unique OFF → ON → OFF sequence, making it a valuable tool for investigating time-sensitive biological events.
