To estabish LwaCas13a molecular detection platform,LwaCas13a was expressed in E.coli and its collateral RNase activity was determined.The recombinant plasmid pET His6-TwinStrep-SUMOLwaCas13a was transformed into Rosetta(DE3) competent cells to induce expression.The results of SDSPAGE electrophoresis and Western blot analysis showed that the soluble LwaCas13a recombinant protein was successfully expressed. Optimization of inducing temperature and time showed that maximal production of LwaCas13a was obtained at 15 h after induction at 16℃ .The expressed LwaCas13a recombinant protein was purified by nickel column affinity chromatography to obtain a single target band with ideal purification effect.In addition,the collateral RNase assay was also established with in vitro synthesized CRISPR RNA and target RNA.The assay could be performed within 30 min at constant 37℃ ,with the detection limit of 31.2 nmol/L.To sum up,the LwaCas13a was successfully expressed in E.coli Rosetta (DE3).Purified LwaCas13a exhibited ideal collateral RNase activity,and the collateral RNase assay for LwaCas13a was optimized and established.
