Part:BBa_K2841513
Self-Cleaving gRNA Kit
A fusion of BBa_K2841512 and BBa_K2841511. A self-terminating self-cleaving gRNA cis acting factor (a guide RNA without the targeting region.)
Simply put the complementary sequence of the DNA that you would like the gRNA to target just before this biobrick part, and express BBa_K2841510. The dCAS9 will localise to your target. You do not need a terminator - this part will self terminate!
Warwick 2021 Contribution - CRISPRa
The handle in its original form exclusively works as a CRISPRi system. iGEM 2018 used it as a double not-gate to act as CRISPRa, needing intermediate LacI repression. By changing the handle with either from papers [1] or [2] and expressing the respective transcriptional activator (LiuP or SoxS-MCP, respectively), it can be turned into a CRISPRa component. As per the data of the iGEM 2018 team, and per the data of the papers, the induction time can be changed from days (with the not-gate system) to hours.
