Аннотация: CRISPR/Cas12a is a potent biosensing tool known for its high specificity in DNA analysis. Cas12a recognizes the target DNA and acquires nuclease activity toward single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probes. We present a straightforward and versatile approach to transforming common Cas12a-cleavable DNA probes into enhancing tools for fluorescence anisotropy (FA) measurements. Our study involved investigating 13 ssDNA probes with linear and hairpin structures, each featuring fluorescein at one end and a rotation-slowing tool (anchor) at the other. All anchors induced FA changes compared to fluorescein, ranging from 24 to 110 mr. Significant FA increases (up to 180 mr) were obtained by adding divalent metal salts (Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+), which influenced the rigidity and compactness of the DNA probes. The specific Cas12a-based recognition of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) fragments of the bacterial phytopathogen Erwinia amylovora allowed us to determine the optimal set (probe structure, anchor, concentration of divalent ion) for FA-based detection. The best sensitivity was obtained using a hairpin structure with dC10 in the loop and streptavidin located near the fluorescein at the stem in the presence of 100 mM Mg2+. The detection limit of the dsDNA target was equal to 0.8 pM, which was eight times more sensitive compared to the common fluorescence-based method. The enhancing set ensured detection of single cells of E. amylovora per reaction in an analysis based on CRISPR/Cas12a with recombinase polymerase amplification. Our approach is universal and easy to implement. Combining FA with Cas12a offers enhanced sensitivity and signal reliability and could be applied to different DNA and RNA analytes.
