Part:BBa_K2457002

Optimized sgRNA targeting LacZ

BBa_K2457002 was engineered to be a building block of the standard BioBrick toolbox for bacterial genome: the ([http://2017.igem.org/Team:Amazonas_Brazil pCRISPeasy]). It’s the first BioBrick available on Registry with an improved sgRNA sequence - both crRNA design and tracrRNA secondary structure - to increase the CRISPR-Cas9 editing efficiency. BBa_K2457002 is composed by: the J23100 constitutive promoter sequence + an optimized sgRNA (crRNA with a GG motif at the 3’ end of it’s target-specific sequence from LacZ [1] and tracrRNA with extended duplex length and a mutation at the thymine 4 [2]) + L3S2P21 terminator [3]. It was rationally designed to be standardized AND interchangeable, aiming to provide a BioBrick to attend multiple genome editing purposes. For that matter, It’s easy to engineer new modules aiming to insert information into the genome through RFC10 Assembly.
