Human CRISPR Activation Library (SAM - 3 Plasmid System)
(Pooled Library #1000000057, #1000000074)
- Purpose
The human CRISPR/Cas9 Synergistic Activation Mediator (SAM) pooled libraries use an engineered protein complex for the transcriptional activation of endogenous genes.
This library consists of three components which are all provided:
- A nucleolytically inactive Cas9-VP64 fusion (Addgene plasmid # 61425)
- A gRNA incorporating two MS2 RNA aptamers at the tetraloop and stem-loop 2 (present in the libraries)
- The MS2-P65-HSF1 plasmid which expresses the activation helper protein (Addgene plasmid #89308)
Note: Libraries ordered prior to 4/3/2017 were shipped with Addgene plasmid #61426 rather than #89308
- Vector Backbone
For the zeocin resistant library, the backbone is lenti sgRNA(MS2)_zeo backbone.
For the puromycin resistant library, the backbone is lenti sgRNA(MS2)_puro backbone.

Library Shipping
Each library is delivered in a microcentrifuge tube on blue ice. The tube's contents will not necessarily be frozen. For best results, minimize freeze/thaws.
-
Volume∼20 µL
-
Concentration50 ng/µL
You will also receive bacterial stabs of the MS2-P65-HSF1 plasmid (Addgene #89308) and dCas9-VP64 (Addgene #61425). Please do NOT order these plasmids in addition to this library.

Depositor Comments
The SAM library consists of 3 unique sgRNAs targeting the RefSeq coding isoforms in the proximal promoter (>90% of sgRNAs are targeted to the first 200 bp upstream of the transcription start site of their target).
The Zeocin resistant gRNA pooled library is referred to as #61597 in Konermann et al, 2014.
