Plasmid for expressing wild-type Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 protein in mammalian cells. The Cas9 gene has been inserted into the main SnapFast™ multiple cloning site (MCS). Expression is driven by the CBA promoter. The plasmid also contains a site for insertion of a guide RNA sequence.
Origin and Compatibility: pUC high copy derived from pBR322
Bacterial Copy Number: 500-700 per cell
Promoter: Chicken Beta Actin (CBA) promoter
Plasmid Purpose
This plasmid is designed for expressing wild-type Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 protein in mammalian cells. Cas9 is the DNA endonuclease central to the CRISPR genome editing system. Expression of Cas9 is driven by the chicken beta actin (CBA) promoter.
CRISPR genome editing requires a guide RNA sequence to direct Cas9 to a particular DNA sequence. This plasmid also contains a site for insertion of a guide RNA sequence. This plasmid is also compatible with the double gRNA adaptor (OG3519) which allows insertion of 2 gRNAs instead of 1.
