Mouse Parp14 encodes PARP-14 (ARTD8), a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase that modulates protein function through ADP-ribosylation and serves as a regulatory scaffold in signal-dependent transcription. PARP-14 is implicated in cytokine-driven pathways, including IL-4/STAT6-associated programs, and contributes to control of immune cell differentiation, inflammatory gene expression, and cellular stress responses. Through interactions with transcriptional regulators and chromatin-associated complexes, PARP-14 can influence metabolic and survival signaling outputs that are relevant to models of allergy, autoimmunity, and tumor-associated immunity. These properties make Parp14 a useful target for dissecting ADP-ribosylation-dependent regulation of gene networks in macrophages, B cells, T cells, and other immune-relevant mouse systems.
PARP-14 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (m) provides a targeted, non-destructive approach to upregulating endogenous Parp14 expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
PARP-14 CRISPR Activation Plasmid (m) is a three-plasmid synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system engineered for highly efficient, site-specific transcriptional upregulation of the Parp14 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 Parp14 transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act in concert to recruit transcriptional machinery and drive upregulation of endogenous PARP-14 expression. Unlike nuclease-active Cas9, dCas9 does not introduce double-strand breaks or modify the genomic sequence, preserving the native Parp14 locus and enabling the study of PARP-14-dependent transcriptional responses at the endogenous locus, making it a valuable tool for functional studies, target gene identification, and the modeling of PARP-14 pathway restoration in tumor cells with silenced or reduced Parp14 expression.
