OTUD2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (m): sc-432624-LAC
- Target species: mouse
- 200 µl of transduction-ready, high-titer CRISPR/dCas9 Lentiviral Activation Particles
- OTUD2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (m) is a synergistic activation mediator (SAM) transcription activation system designed to specifically and efficiently upregulate gene expression via lentiviral transduction of cells
- OTUD2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (m) contain the following SAM Activation elements: a deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) nuclease (D10A and N863A) fused to the transactivation domain VP64, an MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein and a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA. They also contain the blasticidin, hygromycin and puromycin resistance genes
- Upon transduction, the 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 OTUD2 Lentiviral Activation Plasmid (m) and OTUD2 Lentiviral Activation Plasmid (m2) target distinct regulatory regions of the Yod1 promoter. One or both designs may be available

Mouse Yod1 encodes the deubiquitinating enzyme OTUD2, an OTU family protease that hydrolyzes ubiquitin chains to modulate protein stability and signaling amplitude. OTUD2 participates in ubiquitin-dependent control of proteostasis, inflammatory signaling, and stress-response pathways, influencing the turnover of key regulators in NF-κB and related innate immune circuits. Through editing of ubiquitin linkages, OTUD2 can shape DNA damage responses and cell fate decisions that are relevant to studies of immune dysregulation and tumor-associated signaling networks. Altered deubiquitination capacity is frequently interrogated in models of inflammatory disease and cancer biology to understand how ubiquitin signaling rewires transcriptional programs and cellular homeostasis.
OTUD2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (m) address this need by packaging the complete synergistic activation mediator (SAM) transcriptional activation system into transduction-ready, high-titer lentiviral particles, enabling efficient Yod1 upregulation across a broader range of human cell types.
OTUD2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (m) deliver all functional components of the synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system via lentiviral transduction. The system comprises three particle preparations co-transduced into target cells: one encoding catalytically inactive dCas9 (D10A and N863A mutations) fused to the VP64 transactivation domain with a blasticidin resistance gene; one encoding the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein with a hygromycin resistance gene; and one encoding a target-specific 20 nt sgRNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers with a puromycin resistance gene. Following lentiviral transduction and genomic integration of the expression cassettes, the SAM components are stably expressed and assemble at the target locus within the proximal promoter region upstream of the Yod1 transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act cooperatively to recruit endogenous transcriptional machinery and drive sustained upregulation of endogenous OTUD2 expression. The use of nuclease-inactive dCas9 avoids the introduction of double-strand DNA breaks and preserves the native Yod1 genomic locus and regulatory architecture.
The lentiviral format offers several practical advantages: stable genomic integration supports heritable activation across cell divisions; high-titer particle preparations eliminate the need for in-house viral production; and compatibility with primary, non-dividing, and transfection-resistant cell types expands experimental accessibility. Successful transduction can be confirmed and enriched through triple antibiotic selection using puromycin, hygromycin, and blasticidin.
