PARP15 encodes PARP-15, a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase in the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase family that regulates protein function through ADP-ribosylation. PARP-15 has been linked to RNA biology and post-transcriptional control, including modulation of RNA-binding proteins and stress-responsive gene expression programs. Through these activities, it can influence cellular processes such as innate immune signaling, proteostasis, and adaptation to genotoxic or inflammatory cues. Altered PARP family signaling, including PARP15-associated pathways, is studied in the context of dysregulated immune responses and cancer-relevant transcriptional and epigenetic states.
PARP-15 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the PARP15 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within PARP15. 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 PARP15 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 PARP15-disrupted clones.
