CBLB encodes the E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b, a key negative regulator of signaling downstream of antigen receptors and costimulatory receptors in immune cells. By ubiquitinating activated signaling intermediates, Cbl-b constrains pathways such as TCR/BCR signaling, PI3K–AKT, and NF-κB/MAPK cascades to modulate activation thresholds, cytokine production, and peripheral tolerance. Altered CBLB activity has been linked to dysregulated immune homeostasis and is studied in contexts including autoimmunity, chronic inflammation, and tumor immune evasion. As a nodal ubiquitin-pathway regulator, Cbl-b provides a mechanistic entry point for dissecting signal termination, receptor trafficking, and proteostasis in human cells.
Cbl-b Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the CBLB locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within CBLB. 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 CBLB 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 CBLB-disrupted clones.
