The Double Nickase Plasmid features a U6 promoter for sgRNA expression, a 20 nt targeting sequence, and a gRNA scaffold to guide Cas9n. It includes a CBh promoter for Cas9n (D10A) and puromycin resistance, GFP for transfection verification, and nuclear localization signals (NLS). The 2A peptide allows co-expression of Cas9n and Puro from a single promoter, enabling precise genome editing with reduced off-target effects.

Cas9n Nickase gRNA Plasmid Targeting: Dual gRNA plasmids create single-strand nicks at precise DNA sequences for efficient genome editing using Cas9n Nickase.
This image illustrates the Cas9n Nickase mechanism used for precise genome editing. Two plasmids (Plasmid 1 and Plasmid 2) are shown, each containing a targeted DNA sequence. The system utilizes single-guide RNAs (sgRNA) to direct Cas9n Nickase to specific genomic locations, represented by the blue and pink DNA strands. The sgRNA scaffold aids in guiding Cas9n to the 20 nucleotide (nt) target sequence on the DNA. Cas9n makes single-strand cuts at NCC and NGG sites, enabling precise gene modifications without creating double-strand breaks.

CRK 基因编码 Crk II,这是一种含 SH2/SH3 结构域的衔接蛋白,可将被磷酸化的酪氨酸基序与下游效应分子连接起来,从而调控信号转导。Crk II 通过连接 p130CAS/BCAR1、DOCK 家族鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子(GEF)等蛋白与 Rho GTPase 信号,在整合素与生长因子受体通路中发挥作用,进而调节肌动蛋白重塑、细胞黏附、迁移与存活。由于其参与黏着斑动力学以及与 MAPK/PI3K 相关的网络,CRK 信号改变常在致癌转化、侵袭和转移相关表型的研究中被重点关注。Crk II 介导的复合物失衡也在异常发育信号与应激反应通路的模型中得到研究,这些过程与人类疾病生物学密切相关。
Crk II 双切酶质粒(h)由一对匹配的质粒组成,专为在 human 细胞系中对 CRK 位点进行高特异性编辑而设计。每个质粒分别表达Cas9 D10A切口酶和针对CRK内不同DNA链的独特sgRNA。当这两种切口酶被引导至相邻但位于DNA链相反侧的位点时,会产生错位的单链切口,从而共同形成错位双链断裂,这需要两个引导RNA在靶位点上协同发挥作用。由此产生的DNA断裂通过内源性细胞修复途径(最常见的是非同源末端连接(NHEJ))得到修复,从而导致插入或缺失,进而破坏CRK的功能。通过要求双sgRNA在靶位点结合,双切口方法提高了编辑特异性,并为需要对靶向精度进行额外控制的应用提供了互补的CRISPR策略。
