Design Notes

dCas9 is a Cas9 double mutant, with mutations at amino acid positions D10A and H840A. These mutations inactivate Cas9 nuclease and nickase activities. Cas9-ω contains an EcoRI restriction site which was removed via site-directed mutagenesis. Fusion of the omega subunit (rpoZ) to dCas9 was achieved by Gibson assembly.

A plasmid containing dCas9_ω (pdCas9) was given to our iGEM team by David Bikard.
