14-3-3 η CRISPR Activation Plasmid (m) | sc-423749-ACT | 20 µg | $397.00 |
Mouse Ywhah encodes the 14-3-3η adaptor protein, a member of the 14-3-3 family that recognizes phosphoserine/phosphothreonine motifs to regulate the localization, stability, and activity of diverse signaling proteins. Through binding to kinases, phosphatases, and transcriptional regulators, 14-3-3η participates in phosphorylation-dependent control of cell cycle progression, stress responses, and apoptosis, and integrates signaling downstream of pathways such as MAPK and PI3K/AKT. In the nervous and immune systems, 14-3-3 proteins help coordinate synaptic function, cytoskeletal dynamics, and inflammatory signaling, making Ywhah a useful node for studying proteostasis and signal transduction in mouse models. Dysregulation of 14-3-3–mediated interactions has been associated with mechanisms relevant to neurodegeneration, oncogenic signaling, and autoimmunity, supporting its use in pathway-focused disease biology research.
14-3-3 η CRISPR Activation Plasmid (m) provides a targeted, non-destructive approach to upregulating endogenous Ywhah expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
14-3-3 η CRISPR Activation Plasmid (m) is a three-plasmid synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system engineered for highly efficient, site-specific transcriptional upregulation of the Ywhah 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 Ywhah transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act in concert to recruit transcriptional machinery and drive upregulation of endogenous 14-3-3 η expression. Unlike nuclease-active Cas9, dCas9 does not introduce double-strand breaks or modify the genomic sequence, preserving the native Ywhah locus and enabling the study of 14-3-3 η-dependent transcriptional responses at the endogenous locus, making it a valuable tool for functional studies, target gene identification, and the modeling of 14-3-3 η pathway restoration in tumor cells with silenced or reduced Ywhah expression.
