DENND4B Double Nickase Plasmid (h) | sc-411384-NIC | 20 µg | $410.00 |
DENND4B encodes a DENN domain–containing guanine nucleotide exchange factor that regulates Rab-family small GTPases, supporting membrane trafficking and endosomal recycling. Through modulation of Rab activation states, DENND4B contributes to vesicle tethering/fusion dynamics that influence receptor turnover, nutrient transporter localization, and signaling output from endomembrane compartments. These trafficking functions intersect with pathways controlling cytoskeletal organization, cell polarity, and stress-adaptive responses, making DENND4B a relevant node in studies of cell migration and signal attenuation. Altered regulation of endosomal transport programs linked to DENND4B has been investigated in disease contexts where membrane trafficking and receptor signaling are dysregulated, including cancer-associated cellular remodeling.
DENND4B Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the DENND4B locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within DENND4B. When directed to adjacent sites on opposite DNA strands, the two nickases generate offset single-strand nicks that together produce a staggered double-strand break, requiring coordinated on-target activity from both guides. The resulting DNA break is resolved by endogenous cellular repair pathways, most commonly through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), leading to insertions or deletions that disrupt DENND4B function. By requiring dual sgRNA engagement at the target locus, the double nicking approach enhances editing specificity and provides a complementary CRISPR strategy for applications where additional control over targeting precision is desired.
To support efficient identification of edited cells, one plasmid encodes GFP for fluorescent visualization of transfected populations, while the companion plasmid carries a puromycin resistance gene for antibiotic selection. Together, these features support efficient enrichment of co-transfected populations and simplify the validation of DENND4B-disrupted clones.
