Bacteria and archaea apply CRISPR-Cas surveillance complexes to defend against foreign invaders. These invading genetic elements are captured and integrated into the CRISPR array as spacer elements, guiding sequence-specific DNA/RNA targeting and cleavage. Recently, in vivo studies have shown that target RNAs with extended complementarity with repeat sequences flanking the target element (tag:anti-tag pairing) can dramatically reduce RNA cleavage by the type VI-A Cas13a system. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of Leptotrichia shahii LshCas13acrRNA in complex with target RNA harboring tag:anti-tag pairing complementarity, with the observed conformational changes providing a molecular explanation for inactivation of the composite HEPN domain cleavage activity. These structural insights, together with in vitro biochemical and in vivo cell-based assays on key mutants, define the molecular principles underlying Cas13a’s capacity to target and discriminate between self and non-self RNA targets. Our studies illuminate approaches to regulate Cas13a’s cleavage activity, thereby influencing Cas13a-mediated biotechnological applications. Extended complementarity between crRNA and anti-tag target RNA mediates autoimmunity of Cas13a systems. Wang et al. show the structure-function data and reveal the molecular basis for prevention of composite catalytic pocket formation and substrate RNA degradation by anti-tag RNA.
