Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) Double Nickase Plasmid (h): sc-400203-NIC
- Target species: human
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) 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
- Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) Double Nickase Plasmid (h) and Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) Double Nickase Plasmid (h2) encode distinct paired gRNA designs targeting HDAC1. One or both designs may be available
- Following transfection, gene knockout efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: Histone Deacetylase 1 Antibody (10E2): sc-81598

Human HDAC1 encodes histone deacetylase 1, a class I lysine deacetylase that compacts chromatin by removing acetyl groups from histone tails to modulate transcriptional programs. HDAC1 functions in corepressor assemblies such as Sin3, NuRD, and CoREST, linking epigenetic regulation to cell-cycle progression, DNA replication and repair, and differentiation. Through crosstalk with pathways including p53-dependent transcription, RB/E2F control, and stress-responsive signaling, HDAC1 helps maintain genome stability and coordinated gene expression. Dysregulated HDAC1 activity and altered chromatin states are frequently associated with oncogenic transcriptional reprogramming and aberrant proliferation, making it a key target for mechanistic studies of epigenetic control in disease-relevant contexts.
Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the HDAC1 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within HDAC1. 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 HDAC1 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 HDAC1-disrupted clones.
