Ndfip2 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) | sc-405125-ACT | 20 µg | $397.00 |
NDFIP2 (Ndfip2) encodes an endosomal membrane adaptor that binds and activates NEDD4 family HECT E3 ubiquitin ligases, helping route ubiquitinated cargo through endocytosis and lysosome-associated turnover. Through these interactions, Ndfip2 contributes to ubiquitin-dependent regulation of membrane protein abundance, vesicular trafficking, and signaling outputs linked to cellular stress responses. NDFIP2 expression has been studied in immune and epithelial contexts where ubiquitin-mediated control of receptor and transporter dynamics can shape inflammation, survival, and differentiation programs. Dysregulation of endolysosomal trafficking and ubiquitin ligase networks is broadly relevant to cancer biology and neuroimmune mechanisms, supporting NDFIP2 as a useful node for pathway-focused studies.
Ndfip2 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) provides a targeted, non-destructive approach to upregulating endogenous NDFIP2 expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
Ndfip2 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) is a three-plasmid synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system engineered for highly efficient, site-specific transcriptional upregulation of the NDFIP2 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 NDFIP2 transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act in concert to recruit transcriptional machinery and drive upregulation of endogenous Ndfip2 expression. Unlike nuclease-active Cas9, dCas9 does not introduce double-strand breaks or modify the genomic sequence, preserving the native NDFIP2 locus and enabling the study of Ndfip2-dependent transcriptional responses at the endogenous locus, making it a valuable tool for functional studies, target gene identification, and the modeling of Ndfip2 pathway restoration in tumor cells with silenced or reduced NDFIP2 expression.
