PRDM11 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h): sc-417861-ACT
- Target species: human
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- PRDM11 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) is a synergistic activation mediator (SAM) transcription activation system designed to specifically upregulate gene expression
- PRDM11 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) consists of three plasmids at a 1:1:1 mass ratio: a plasmid encoding the deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) nuclease (D10A and N863A) fused to the transactivation domain VP64, and a blasticidin resistance gene; a plasmid encoding the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein, and a hygromycin resistance gene; a plasmid encoding a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers, and a puromycin resistance gene
- The resulting SAM complex binds to a site-specific region approximately 200-250 nt upstream of the transcriptional start site and provides robust recruitment of transcription factors for highly efficient gene activation
- gRNAs encoded by PRDM11 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) and PRDM11 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h2) target distinct regulatory regions upstream of the PRDM11 transcriptional start site. One or both designs may be available
- Following transfection, gene knockout efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: PRDM11 Antibody (G-12): sc-398876

PRDM11 encodes a PR/SET domain–containing zinc finger protein implicated in chromatin-associated regulation of transcription and lineage-specific gene expression programs. As a member of the PRDM family, PRDM11 is linked to epigenetic control mechanisms that coordinate cell state transitions, including differentiation and maintenance of cellular identity. Dysregulation of PRDM family transcriptional regulators has been associated with altered developmental pathways and aberrant gene expression networks in cancer and other disorders, motivating investigation of PRDM11-dependent transcriptional circuitry. Studying PRDM11 function supports mechanistic work on chromatin remodeling, transcription factor recruitment, and context-dependent control of downstream target genes.
PRDM11 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) provides a targeted, non-destructive approach to upregulating endogenous PRDM11 expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
PRDM11 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) is a three-plasmid synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system engineered for highly efficient, site-specific transcriptional upregulation of the PRDM11 locus in human cell lines. The system is built around a catalytically inactive Cas9 (dCas9) carrying two inactivating mutations (D10A and N863A) that eliminate nuclease activity while preserving DNA binding. This dCas9 is fused to VP64, a potent transcriptional activator, and is co-expressed with a blasticidin resistance gene for selection. The second plasmid encodes the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein, a secondary activator complex that works in concert with dCas9-VP64, alongside a hygromycin resistance gene. The third plasmid encodes a target-specific 20 nt sgRNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers that recruit the MS2-p65-HSF1 complex to the activation site, accompanied by a puromycin resistance gene. The three plasmids are delivered at a 1:1:1 mass ratio for balanced expression of all system components.
Once assembled at the target locus, the SAM complex binds within approximately 200 bp upstream of the PRDM11 transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act in concert to recruit transcriptional machinery and drive upregulation of endogenous PRDM11 expression. Unlike nuclease-active Cas9, dCas9 does not introduce double-strand breaks or modify the genomic sequence, preserving the native PRDM11 locus and enabling the study of PRDM11-dependent transcriptional responses at the endogenous locus, making it a valuable tool for functional studies, target gene identification, and the modeling of PRDM11 pathway restoration in tumor cells with silenced or reduced PRDM11 expression.
