NCF1 encodes p47phox, a cytosolic organizer subunit of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase (NOX2) complex that regulates stimulus-dependent assembly of membrane and cytosolic components to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). p47phox phosphorylation and membrane translocation help coordinate electron transfer from NADPH to oxygen, supporting oxidative burst responses, redox signaling, and microbial killing in myeloid cells. Altered NCF1 function perturbs ROS homeostasis and is linked to immunodeficiency phenotypes and inflammatory dysregulation, including susceptibility to chronic granulomatous disease–like presentations. In addition, NCF1 variation has been associated with autoimmune and autoinflammatory pathways, making p47phox a useful node for studying innate immune signaling and redox-dependent regulation.
p47phox Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the NCF1 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within NCF1. 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 NCF1 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 NCF1-disrupted clones.
