Datasheets
  • Target species: human
  • 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
  • FIP1L1 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a pair of plasmids each encoding a D10A mutated Cas9 nuclease and a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA (gRNA) designed to knockout gene expression with greater specificity than its CRISPR/Cas9 KO counterpart
  • Paired gRNA sequences are offset by approximately 20 bp to allow for specific Cas9-mediated double nicking of the genomic DNA, which mimics a DSB
  • One plasmid in the pair contains a puromycin-resistance gene for selection; the other plasmid in the pair contains a GFP marker to visually confirm transfection
  • FIP1L1 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) and FIP1L1 Double Nickase Plasmid (h2) encode distinct paired gRNA designs targeting FIP1L1. One or both designs may be available
  • Following transfection, gene knockout efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: FIP1L1 Antibody (C-10): sc-398392

    FIP1L1 encodes a core subunit of the cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF) complex that participates in 3′-end processing of pre-mRNAs, including poly(A) site selection and coupling of cleavage to polyadenylation. Through interactions with poly(A) polymerase and other processing factors, FIP1L1 helps shape transcript isoform diversity and mRNA stability, thereby influencing gene expression programs linked to proliferation and differentiation. Dysregulation of FIP1L1-mediated RNA processing is relevant to oncogenic transcriptional rewiring, and chromosomal rearrangements involving FIP1L1 are well described in myeloid neoplasms as drivers of aberrant kinase signaling. These features make FIP1L1 a useful node for studying RNA 3′-end formation, alternative polyadenylation, and the downstream consequences for cellular state.

    FIP1L1 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the FIP1L1 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within FIP1L1. 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 FIP1L1 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 FIP1L1-disrupted clones.
