IL-17RD CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h): sc-405362-ACT
- Target species: human
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- IL-17RD CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) is a synergistic activation mediator (SAM) transcription activation system designed to specifically upregulate gene expression
- IL-17RD CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) consists of three plasmids at a 1:1:1 mass ratio: a plasmid encoding the deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) nuclease (D10A and N863A) fused to the transactivation domain VP64, and a blasticidin resistance gene; a plasmid encoding the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein, and a hygromycin resistance gene; a plasmid encoding a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers, and a puromycin resistance gene
- The resulting SAM complex binds to a site-specific region approximately 200-250 nt upstream of the transcriptional start site and provides robust recruitment of transcription factors for highly efficient gene activation
- gRNAs encoded by IL-17RD CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) and IL-17RD CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h2) target distinct regulatory regions upstream of the IL17RD transcriptional start site. One or both designs may be available

IL17RD encodes IL-17RD (also known as SEF), a transmembrane signaling regulator that modulates receptor tyrosine kinase pathways, including FGF-driven MAPK/ERK signaling, and can influence inflammatory signaling networks linked to IL-17 family biology. By shaping signal amplitude and duration at the plasma membrane, IL-17RD contributes to cellular decisions governing proliferation, differentiation, and stress responses. Altered IL17RD expression or pathway context has been associated with dysregulated growth factor signaling and inflammation-related phenotypes, making it relevant for mechanistic studies of oncogenic signaling, epithelial biology, and immune-associated crosstalk in human cells.
IL-17RD CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) provides a targeted, non-destructive approach to upregulating endogenous IL17RD expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
IL-17RD CRISPR Activation Plasmid (h) is a three-plasmid synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system engineered for highly efficient, site-specific transcriptional upregulation of the IL17RD locus in human cell lines. The system is built around a catalytically inactive Cas9 (dCas9) carrying two inactivating mutations (D10A and N863A) that eliminate nuclease activity while preserving DNA binding. This dCas9 is fused to VP64, a potent transcriptional activator, and is co-expressed with a blasticidin resistance gene for selection. The second plasmid encodes the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein, a secondary activator complex that works in concert with dCas9-VP64, alongside a hygromycin resistance gene. The third plasmid encodes a target-specific 20 nt sgRNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers that recruit the MS2-p65-HSF1 complex to the activation site, accompanied by a puromycin resistance gene. The three plasmids are delivered at a 1:1:1 mass ratio for balanced expression of all system components.
Once assembled at the target locus, the SAM complex binds within approximately 200 bp upstream of the IL17RD transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act in concert to recruit transcriptional machinery and drive upregulation of endogenous IL-17RD expression. Unlike nuclease-active Cas9, dCas9 does not introduce double-strand breaks or modify the genomic sequence, preserving the native IL17RD locus and enabling the study of IL-17RD-dependent transcriptional responses at the endogenous locus, making it a valuable tool for functional studies, target gene identification, and the modeling of IL-17RD pathway restoration in tumor cells with silenced or reduced IL17RD expression.
