CRISPR-Cas12a is a leading technology for development of model organisms, therapeutics, and diagnostics. These applications could benefit from chemical modifications that stabilize or tune enzyme properties. Here we chemically modify ribonucleotides of the AsCas12a CRISPR RNA 5′ handle, a pseudoknot structure that mediates binding to Cas12a. Gene editing in human cells required retention of several native RNA residues corresponding to predicted 2′-hydroxyl contacts. Replacing these RNA residues with a variety of ribose-modified nucleotides revealed 2′-hydroxyl sensitivity. Modified 5′ pseudoknots with as little as six out of nineteen RNA residues, with phosphorothioate linkages at remaining RNA positions, yielded heavily modified pseudoknots with robust cell-based editing. High trans activity was usually preserved with cis activity. We show that the 5′ pseudoknot can tolerate near complete modification when design is guided by structural and chemical compatibility. Rules for modification of the 5′ pseudoknot should accelerate therapeutic development and be valuable for CRISPR-Cas12a diagnostics. Development of Cas12a for human therapeutics and diagnostics may significantly benefit from, or even require, chemical modification of its guide RNA. Here the authors show that the noncanonical 5′ pseudoknot structure of the AsCas12a crRNA guide can be heavily modified and still retain very high editing activity in cells and trans cleavage activity in vitro.
