Research on Cas9 nucleases from different organisms holds great promise for advancing genome engineering and gene therapy tools, as it could provide novel structural insights into CRISPR editing mechanisms, expanding its application area in biology and medicine. The subclass of thermophilic Cas9 nucleases is actively expanding due to the advances in genome sequencing allowing for the meticulous examination of various microorganisms' genomes in search of the novel CRISPR systems. The most prominent thermophilic Cas9 effectors known to date are GeoCas9, ThermoCas9, IgnaviCas9, AceCas9, and others. These nucleases are characterized by a varying temperature range of the activity and stringent PAM preferences; thus, further diversification of the naturally occurring thermophilic Cas9 subclass presents an intriguing task. This study focuses on generating a construct to express a compact Cas9 nuclease (AnoCas9) from the thermophilic microorganism Anoxybacillus flavithermus displaying the nuclease activity in the 37–60 °C range and the PAM preference of 5′-NNNNCDAA-3′ in vitro. Here, we highlight the close relation of AnoCas9 to the GeoCas9 family of compact thermophilic Cas9 effectors. AnoCas9, beyond broadening the repertoire of Cas9 nucleases, suggests application in areas requiring the presence of thermostable CRISPR/Cas systems in vitro, such as sequencing libraries' enrichment, allele-specific isothermal PCR, and others.
