Part:BBa_K2660006
N-Cas9
Coding sequence for the N-terminal section of split Cas9 nuclease.
This BioBrick was engineered to be a split domain of cas9 (BBa_K2457001) coding sequence from Streptococcus pyogenes. It was designed to be an inactive domain linked with proteins like pMag (BBa_K2660009) to control to control the kinetics of activation by blue light and induce targeted genome sequence modifications (to kill or remove the recombinant DNA). This activity can be switched off simply by extinguishing the light.
The nuclease activity requires the use together with nMag(BBa_K2660008) linked with the c-cas9 domain (BBa_K2660007)
