LCP2 encodes SLP-76, a cytosolic adaptor protein that coordinates signal transduction downstream of immunoreceptors in hematopoietic cells. Following T cell receptor and Fc receptor engagement, SLP-76 assembles multi-protein complexes with LAT, GADS, VAV1, ITK, and PLCγ1 to propagate phosphorylation cascades that drive calcium flux, MAPK activation, cytoskeletal remodeling, and integrin-mediated adhesion. Through these pathways, SLP-76 regulates lymphocyte activation, development, and immune synapse formation, making LCP2 a key node for studying immune signaling network topology. Dysregulated SLP-76-dependent signaling has been implicated in immune dysfunction phenotypes and altered inflammatory responses, supporting its relevance in mechanistic research on immunopathology.
SLP-76 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the LCP2 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within LCP2. 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 LCP2 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 LCP2-disrupted clones.
