Resource Information

  • Supplemental Documents
  • A portion of this plasmid was derived from a plasmid made by
    A two-step fusion PCR was performed to amplify Cas9 Nickase ORF without stop codon from the pX335 vector (Addgene: 42335), incorporate H840A mutation, EcoRI-AgeI restriction site on the 5′ end as well as an FseI site on the 3′ end (EcoRI-AgeIdCas9- FseI fragment). The 3× minimal VP16 activation domain coding fragment (VP48) was excised from a vector (Addgene: 20342) containing NLSM2rtTA coding sequence by FseI and EcoRI digestion (FseI-TA-EcoRI fragment). The two fragments were ligated into pCR8/GW/TOPO (Invitrogen) vector digested by EcoRI to generate a gateway compatible dCas9VP48 coding plasmid.
