<p>The RNA editing guide RNA was discovered in 1990 by B. Blum, N. Bakalara, and L. Simpson through Northern Blot Hybridization in the mitochondrial maxicircle DNA of the eukaryotic parasite Leishmania tarentolae. Subsequent research throughout the mid-2000s and the following years explored the structure and function of gRNA and the CRISPR-Cas system. A significant breakthrough occurred in 2012 when it was discovered that gRNA could guide the Cas9 <a href="Endonuclease" title="Endonuclease">endonuclease</a> to introduce target-specific cuts in double-stranded DNA. This discovery led to the 2020 <a href="Nobel_Prize_in_Chemistry" title="Nobel Prize in Chemistry">Nobel Prize in Chemistry</a> awarded to <a href="Jennifer_Doudna" title="Jennifer Doudna">Jennifer Doudna</a> and <a href="Emmanuelle_Charpentier" title="Emmanuelle Charpentier">Emmanuelle Charpentier</a> for their contributions to the development of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_function_of_the_gRNA-mRNA_Complex">The function of the gRNA-mRNA Complex</h3></div>
<p>Guide RNAs are mainly transcribed from the intergenic region of DNA maxicircle and have sequences complementary to mRNA. The 3' end of gRNAs contains an oligo 'U' tail (5-24 nucleotides in length) which is in a nonencoded region but interacts and forms a stable complex with A and G rich regions of pre-edited mRNA and gRNA, that are thermodynamically stabilized by a 5' and 3' anchors.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This initial hybrid helps in the recognition of specific mRNA site to be edited.<sup id="cite_ref-Connell_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Connell-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>RNA editing typically progresses from the 3' to the 5' end on the mRNA. The initial editing process begins when a gRNA forms an RNA duplex with a complementary mRNA sequence located just downstream of the editing site. This pairing recruits a number of <a href="Ribonucleoprotein" class="mw-redirect" title="Ribonucleoprotein">ribonucleoprotein</a> complexes that direct the cleavage of the first mismatched base adjacent to the gRNA-mRNA anchor. Following this, <a href="Uridylyltransferase" class="mw-redirect" title="Uridylyltransferase">Uridylyltransferase</a> inserts a 'U' at the 3' end, and RNA ligase then joins the two severed ends. The process repeats at the next upstream editing site in a similar manner. A single gRNA usually encodes the information for several editing sites (an editing "block"), the editing of which produces a complete gRNA/mRNA duplex. This process of sequential editing is known as the enzyme cascade model.<sup id="cite_ref-Connell_14-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Connell-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:3_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The 3' end is used to anchor the gRNA (gCyb-I gRNA in this case) by basepairing (some G/U pairs are used). The 5' end does not exactly match and one of three specific <a href="Endonuclease" title="Endonuclease">endonucleases</a> cleaves the mRNA at the mismatch site.

Prokaryotes as bacteria and archaea, use <a href="CRISPR" title="CRISPR">CRISPR</a> (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) and its associated Cas enzymes, as their adaptive immune system. When prokaryotes are infected by phages, and manage to fend off the attack, specific Cas enzymes cut the phage DNA (or RNA) and integrate the fragments into the CRISPR sequence interspaces. These stored segments are then recognized during future virus attacks, allowing Cas enzymes to use RNA copies of these segments, along with their associated CRISPR sequences, as gRNA to identify and neutralize the foreign sequences.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p>

The sgRNA is an artificially engineered combination of two RNA molecules: CRISPR RNA (<a href="CRISPR_RNA" title="CRISPR RNA">crRNA</a>) and trans-activating crRNA (<a href="Trans-activating_crRNA" title="Trans-activating crRNA">tracrRNA</a>). The crRNA component is responsible for binding to the target-specific DNA region, while the tracrRNA component is responsible for the activation of the Cas9 endonuclease activity. These two components are linked by a short tetraloop structure, resulting in the formation of the sgRNA. The tracrRNA consist of base pairs that form a stem-loop structure, enabling its attachment to the <a href="Endonuclease" title="Endonuclease">endonuclease</a> enzyme. The transcription of the CRISPR locus generates crRNA, which contains spacer regions flanked by repeat sequences, typically 18-20 base pairs (bp) in length. This crRNA guides the Cas9 endonuclease to the complementary target region on the DNA, where it cleaves the DNA, forming what is known as the effector complex. Modifications in the crRNA sequence within the sgRNA can alter the binding location, allowing for precise targeting of different DNA regions, effectively making it a programmable system for genome editing.<sup id="cite_ref-:5_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:5-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The targeting specificity of CRISPR-Cas9 is determined by the 20-nucleotide (nt) sequence at the 5' end of the gRNA. The desired target sequence must precede the Protospacer Adjacent Motif (PAM), which is a short DNA sequence usually 2-6 base pairs in length that follows the DNA region targeted for cleavage by the CRISPR system, such as CRISPR-Cas9. The PAM is required for a Cas nuclease to cut and is usually located 3-4 nucleotides downstream from the cut site. Once the gRNA base pairs with the target, Cas9 induces a double-strand break about 3 nucleotides upstream of the PAM.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The optimal GC content of the guide sequence should be over 50%. A higher GC content enhances the stability of the RNA-DNA duplex and reduces off-target hybridization. The length of guide sequences is typically 20 bp, but they can also range from 17 to 24 bp. A longer sequence minimizes off-target effects.

<p><a href="CRISPR_gene_editing" title="CRISPR gene editing">CRISPR</a> (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas9 is a technique used for gene editing and gene therapy. Cas is an endonuclease enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific location directed by a guide RNA. This is a target-specific technique that can introduce gene knockouts or knock-ins depending on the double strand repair pathway. Evidence shows that both in vitro and in vivo, tracrRNA is required for Cas9 to bind to the target DNA sequence. The CRISPR-Cas9 system consists of three main stages. The first stage involves the extension of bases in the CRISPR locus region by addition of foreign DNA spacers in the genome sequence. Proteins like cas1 and cas2, assist in finding new spacers. The next stage involves transcription of CRISPR: pre-crRNA (precursor CRISPR RNA) are expressed by the transcription of CRISPR repeat-spacer array. Upon further modification, the pre-crRNA is converted to single spacer flanked regions forming short crRNA. RNA maturation process is similar in type I and III but different in type II. The third stage involves binding of cas9 protein and directing it to cleave the DNA segment. The Cas9 protein binds to a combined form of crRNA and tracrRNA forming an effector complex. This serves as guide RNA for the cas9 protein directing its endonuclease activity.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:12_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:12-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:22_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
