dCas9: Expression cassette under a xylose inducible promoter
dCas9 or ‘dead’ cas9 is a mutated version of Cas9 that has lost its endonuclease activity - it no longer cuts double stranded DNA, instead dCas9 simply binds to it. This means dCas9 can function as a repressor after complexing with sgRNA (BBa_K1323000, BBa_K1323001) and the sgRNA-target site. dCas9 contains mutations in the RuvC1 and HNH nuclease domains; these changes are what bestow this modified Cas9 with its ability to bind DNA instead of cleaving it (Qi et al., 2013). BBa_K1323002 has a Xylose Inducible Promoter BBa_K1323014 and a sodA RBS BBa_K1323022. The illegal sites have been removed, and the sequence was codon optimized for expression in S.epidermidis using JCat software.
This part was DNA-synthesized by Bio Basic.
