SUMO-1 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m): sc-423588
- Target species: mouse
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- SUMO-1 CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout (KO) Plasmid (m) is a pool of plasmids, each encoding Cas9 nuclease and a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA (gRNA) designed for maximum knockout efficiency using sequences derived from the GeCKO v2 library
- gRNA sequences direct Cas9 to induce site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the SUMO-1 genomic locus, resulting in gene knockout through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)
- The puromycin resistance and RFP genes are flanked by LoxP sites, enabling removal of selection markers via Cre recombinase (Cre Vector: sc-418923) after establishing stable knockout cell lines
- Following transfection, gene knockout efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: SUMO-1 Antibody (D-11): sc-5308

Overview
Sumo1 encodes SUMO-1, a ubiquitin-like modifier that is covalently conjugated to lysine residues on target proteins to regulate their localization, stability, and interaction networks. SUMOylation influences diverse cellular processes including DNA damage signaling and repair, chromatin organization, transcriptional control, nuclear transport, and cell-cycle progression through coordinated E1–E2–E3 enzymatic cascades and SUMO-specific proteases. SUMO-1 modification often intersects with ubiquitin-dependent turnover and stress-response pathways, shaping proteostasis and signaling dynamics in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Dysregulated SUMOylation has been linked to mechanisms relevant to cancer biology, neurodegeneration, and immune regulation, making Sumo1 a useful node for pathway-level studies in mouse models and cell systems.
SUMO-1 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the Sumo1 gene in mouse cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the Sumo1 together with the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 nuclease. The plasmids also encode GFP, allowing fluorescent identification and enrichment of successfully transfected cells by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
The multi-guide design increases the likelihood of generating insertions or deletions (indels) that disrupt the Sumo1 open reading frame following Cas9-mediated double-strand break formation. DNA breaks introduced by the CRISPR/Cas9 system are repaired through endogenous non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathways, frequently resulting in frameshift mutations that abolish SUMO-1 protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of Sumo1-deficient cell models for investigation of SUMO-1 signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.

Design Variants
CRISPRs +/- HDRs
- gRNAs encoded by SUMO-1 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) and SUMO-1 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m2) target distinct sites within the Sumo1 locus. One or both targeting designs may be available. See Related Products for availability.
- HDR donor constructs encoded by SUMO-1 HDR Plasmid (m) and SUMO-1 HDR Plasmid (m2) contain a puromycin resistance cassette and an RFP reporter flanked by Sumo1 homology arms to support homology-directed repair at defined Sumo1 target sites corresponding to the CRISPR/Cas9 KO designs. HDR donor availability may vary. See Related Products for availability.
