TRABID CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) | sc-402852-ACT | 20 µg | $397.00 |
Human ZRANB1 encodes TRABID, an OTU family deubiquitinase that preferentially cleaves K29- and K33-linked polyubiquitin chains to remodel ubiquitin-dependent signaling. TRABID has been implicated in regulating Wnt/β-catenin transcriptional programs and NF-κB-associated inflammatory signaling through modulation of ubiquitinated pathway components, influencing gene expression and cellular homeostasis. By editing ubiquitin chain topology, TRABID contributes to control of protein stability and signal propagation in contexts such as proliferation, differentiation, and stress responses. Dysregulation of these pathways links TRABID-related mechanisms to cancer biology, immune signaling perturbations, and other disease-relevant cellular phenotypes that can be interrogated in model systems.
TRABID CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) provides a targeted, non-destructive approach to upregulating endogenous ZRANB1 expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
TRABID CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) is a three-plasmid synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system engineered for highly efficient, site-specific transcriptional upregulation of the ZRANB1 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 ZRANB1 transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act in concert to recruit transcriptional machinery and drive upregulation of endogenous TRABID expression. Unlike nuclease-active Cas9, dCas9 does not introduce double-strand breaks or modify the genomic sequence, preserving the native ZRANB1 locus and enabling the study of TRABID-dependent transcriptional responses at the endogenous locus, making it a valuable tool for functional studies, target gene identification, and the modeling of TRABID pathway restoration in tumor cells with silenced or reduced ZRANB1 expression.
