ATP1B1 encodes the beta 1 subunit of the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase, a plasma membrane P-type ATPase complex that maintains sodium and potassium gradients required for membrane potential, osmotic balance, and secondary active transport. By supporting electrochemical homeostasis, ATP1B1 influences epithelial polarity, cell volume regulation, and excitability-linked signaling, and can modulate adhesion-related processes through effects on membrane organization. Altered Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase subunit expression or stoichiometry has been associated with dysregulated ion transport in kidney and cardiovascular physiology and has been explored in the context of tumor cell metabolism and stress responses. As a result, ATP1B1 is frequently studied in pathways connecting ion homeostasis to proliferation, barrier function, and signal transduction.
beta 1 Sodium Potassium ATPase/ATP1B1 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the ATP1B1 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within ATP1B1. 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 ATP1B1 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 ATP1B1-disrupted clones.
