It was previously shown that SpdCas9 can be truncated and improved by mutation of DNA backbone proximal amino acids. This part is a further improvement upon Part:BBa_K2316001, where additional mutation and site specific fusion of a cationic peptide demonstrated further improvement upon the truncated dCas9.

∆RuvCIII-2 ∆HNH ∆REC2 4QC_HNHpK Sp-dCas9

dCas9 is a catalytically inactive Cas9, which still retains it's ability to bind to DNA. This truncated Sp-dCas9 has been improved upon to increase DNA binding affinity. It can be fused to an effector protein to achieve targetting to specific locus. This is an improvement from part Part:BBa_K2316001
