ICE2 sgRNA A in pHSN6A01

This plasmid contains a dCas9 region fused to a VP64 transcriptional activation domain. It also contains a sgRNA sequence which directs the CRISPRa system to bind to ICE2’s promoter.

This plasmid is one of five ICE2 CRISPRa plasmids that were assembled. Five target sequences were chosen from the promoter region of ICE2 in order to test for sgRNA binding efficiency. These sequences were termed ICE2 guide A, B, C, D, and E. Each sgRNA was ordered as two complementary single stranded oligos that when combined into one tube, formed a single double stranded oligo with a 4bp overhang on either side. These 4bp overhangs were designed to be complementary to our BsaI-digested vector pHSN6A01, which allowed for Golden Gate cloning to be used to piece the sgRNA and the rest of the vector together. Each plasmid was then transformed into E. coli DH5 alpha and plated on LB media with kanamycin. The presence of the modified pHSN6A01 plasmid in E. coli colonies was confirmed via PCR. Each plasmid was subsequently transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens, plated on LB media with kanamycin and gentamicin, and the presence of the plasmid was once again confirmed via PCR. Next, Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells containing the plasmid were floral dipped into Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Seeds produced by the floral dipped plants were screened for the presence of the plasmid by plating on MS media with hygromycin. Screening revealed no positive transformants from the transformation using Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing ICE2 sgRNA A.
