Highly efficient and specific regulation of gene expression using enhanced CRISPR-Cas12f system
The recently developed CRISPR activator (CRISPRa) system uses a CRISPR-Cas effector-based transcriptional activator to effectively control the expression of target genes without causing DNA damage. However, ex...

Hypercompact adenine base editors based on a Cas12f variant guided by engineered RNA
Cas12f is a hypercompact type V, Cas12 family member. Previously, we reported a set of engineered guide RNAs supporting high indel efficiency for Cas12f1 in human cells. Here we suggest a new technology whereb...

Membrane cholesterol is required for activity of Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin
Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin (VVC) forms a pore in the plasma membrane and induces cytolysis of various cells including erythrocytes, neutrophil and endothelial cells. The cytolytic activity of VVC is inhibited by...
