Insert site+gRNA scaffold

The transcript of gRNA scaffold can bind to SpCas9. The Insert site can be inserted into the sgRNA targeting specific target genes through the Golden Gate assembly.

Usage

Template of sgRNA. Use Golden Gate (BsaⅠ) to replace the template sequence with a ~20bp guide sequence. Add 'ACTT' on the 5'-terminal of your guide sequence and 'AAAC' on the reverse 5'-terminal.

Result

Plasmid construction

To validate the mCherry sequence in our vector, we designed mCherry-f and mCherry-R primers to verify our successful assembly.

mCherry and the position of primer targeting

Electrophoregram of amplification products,M is DNA Marker.

Functional Identification

We introduced the mCherry-containing plasmid pTX2038 into Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by electroporation and observed it using Fluorescence microscope.

Fluorescence excitation of positive clones transferred into pTX2038 vector compared with wild type mCherry, together with DIC field and chlorophyll excitation as fluorescence control.
