FATE1 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) | sc-413809-NIC | 20 µg | $410.00 |
FATE1 (fetal and adult testis-expressed 1) encodes a mitochondria-associated protein enriched in testis and frequently upregulated in multiple tumor contexts, where it can influence cellular stress tolerance. Reported to localize at mitochondria–endoplasmic reticulum contact sites, FATE1 has been linked to regulation of calcium transfer, mitochondrial membrane dynamics, and apoptotic signaling pathways. By modulating organelle crosstalk and mitochondrial susceptibility to stress, FATE1 can affect proliferation and survival programs that are relevant to cancer biology. These properties make FATE1 a useful target for studying mitochondrial regulation, ER–mitochondria tethering, and stress-response networks in human cells.
FATE1 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the FATE1 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within FATE1. 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 FATE1 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 FATE1-disrupted clones.
