Data sheet
| Size | 50 µg, 313 pmo, with Reaction Buffer |
| Storage | ‐70°C. Avoid freeze thaw cycles. |
| Background | The functions of CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) genes are essential in adaptive immunity in select bacteria and archaea. CRISPR uses a Cas9 protein to recognize DNA sequences, with target specificity solely determined by a small guide (sg) RNA and a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) Upon binding to target DNA, the Cas9-sgRNA complex generates a DNA double-stranded break. Based on this RNA- guided nuclease activity, CRISPR has been showed to be a powerful tool in editing the genomes of a broad range of organisms. Furthermore, a repurposed, nuclease- deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) protein has been used to regulate endogenous gene expression and labeling of genomic loci in living and fixed cells. |
| Purity | Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Host/Source | E.coli |
| Applications | Recombinant dCas9 (D10A & H840A) protein is suitable for use in imaging of genomic oci in living cells and fixed cells as well as for gene expression regulation. |
| Sequence | Mutated CRISPR-associated endonuclease Cas9 (amino acids 1 to 1368) with D10A & H840A (Uniprot: Q99ZW2 for Cas9). To facilitate nuclear entry, two nuclear localization signal sequence (NLS) are fused to both N- and C-terminal of dCas9 protein. |
| Concentration | 1 µg/ µL, 6.26 µM |
| Storage buffer | 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 300 mM NaCl, and 50% (v/v) Glycerol. |
| Pysical Appearance | Sterile filtered colorless solution. |
| Storage and Stability | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 1-2 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Formulatin | Recombinant dCas9 (D10A & H840A) protein expressed in E. coli supplied in a buffer of 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 300 mM NaCl, and 50% (v/v) Glycerol. |
