Description
General description
All-in-one, ready-to-use Cas9 and guide RNA (gRNA) expression plasmids with GUS Reporter
CRISPR Plant Cas9 products are intended for Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation. The products are based on the type IIA CRISPR-Cas9 derived from Streptococcus pyogenes. The native Cas9 coding sequence is codon optimized for expression in monocots and dicots, respectively. The monocot Cas9 constructs contain a monocot U6 promoter for sgRNA expression, and the dicot Cas9 constructs contain a dicot U6 promoter.
Arabidopsis seedlings were germinated in 6 well tissue culture plates. The seedlings were infected with Agrobacterium which had the CRISPR plasmids with a GUS reporter. After 3-4 days of transfection the GUS expression was detected. b-glucuronidase (GUS) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes colorless glucuronides to yield colored product
Application
To verify successful integration of T-DNA in plant genome
GUS receptor wheat gGAPDH control for monocots for Agrobacterium mediated transformation
Biochem/physiol Actions
CRISPR/Cas systems are employed by bacteria and archaea as a defense against invading viruses and plasmids. Recently, the type II CRISPR/Cas system from the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes has been engineered to function in eukaryotic systems using two molecular components: a single Cas9 protein and a non-coding guide RNA (gRNA). The Cas9 endonuclease can be programmed with a single gRNA, directing a DNA double-strand break (DSB) at a desired genomic location. Similar to DSBs induced by zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), the cell then activates endogenous DNA repair processes, either non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR), to heal the targeted DSB.
