TDP1 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) | sc-405057 | 20 µg | $397.00 |
Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) is a nuclear DNA repair enzyme that hydrolyzes covalent 3′-phosphotyrosyl linkages formed when topoisomerase I becomes trapped on DNA, as well as other blocked 3′ DNA termini. Through coordination with single-strand break repair and base excision repair pathways, including interactions with PARP1, XRCC1, and DNA ligase III, TDP1 helps restore ligatable ends and preserve genome stability during transcription and replication stress. Loss or impairment of TDP1 disrupts resolution of Top1-DNA adducts, increasing accumulation of DNA strand breaks and replication-associated lesions. TDP1 dysfunction is linked to neurodegenerative phenotypes such as spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy and is broadly relevant to studies of DNA damage tolerance and cellular responses to genotoxic stress.
TDP1 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the TDP1 gene in human cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the TDP1 together with the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 nuclease. The plasmids also encode GFP, allowing fluorescent identification and enrichment of successfully transfected cells by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
The multi-guide design increases the likelihood of generating insertions or deletions (indels) that disrupt the TDP1 open reading frame following Cas9-mediated double-strand break formation. DNA breaks introduced by the CRISPR/Cas9 system are repaired through endogenous non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathways, frequently resulting in frameshift mutations that abolish TDP1 protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of TDP1-deficient cell models for investigation of TDP1 signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.
