NOXA1 Double Nickase Plasmid (m) | sc-433826-NIC | 20 µg | $410.00 |
Mouse Noxa1 encodes NOXA1, a cytosolic organizer subunit that promotes assembly and activation of the NOX1 NADPH oxidase complex, enabling regulated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Through NOX1-dependent redox signaling, NOXA1 influences pathways controlling epithelial innate defense, cytoskeletal dynamics, and signal transduction downstream of small GTPases and phosphorylation events. Altered NOXA1–NOX1 activity has been associated with oxidative stress biology and inflammatory tissue responses, with downstream impacts on barrier function and remodeling. As a result, Noxa1 is frequently studied in models of gastrointestinal and vascular physiology where ROS modulates proliferation, migration, and cytokine-linked signaling.
NOXA1 Double Nickase Plasmid (m) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the Noxa1 locus in mouse cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within Noxa1. 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 Noxa1 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 Noxa1-disrupted clones.
