dCas9-SmallBitNanoLuc

This composite part is made up of two basic parts. The first basic part (BBa_K3168000) codes for a catalytically dead CRISPR associated protein 9 (dCas9). This protein binds to a specific target on double stranded DNA. This specific target is determined by the guide RNA, which makes the target sequence of this protein very modular. The second basic part (BBa_K3168003), which is fused to dCas9, consist of a (GGS)₅ linker and the small bit of NanoLuc. When the small bit of NanoLuc forms a complex with the large bit, blue light is emitted. Thus this composite part is part of a Split-NanoLuc detection system, which targets a specific sequence on dsDNA and sends out a bioluminescent signal.

Figure 1. Schematic representation of dCas9-SmallBitNanoLuc.

Usage and Biology

dCas9 in combination with guide RNA forms a dsDNA recognition complex. A stronger bioluminescent signal is created when dCas9-LargBitNanoLuc and dCas9-SmallBitNanoLuc bind in close proximity.
