SuperKO sgRNA Clones Product List
Application
sgRNA,as a crucial component of the CRISPR/Cas9 system,plays a pivotal role in gene knockout.Comprising a
20-nucleotide target-specific sequence and a structural RNA element derived from Streptococcus pyogenes
tracrRNA,sgRNA enables precise targeting of any sequence in the genome.The process of Cas9/sgRNA complex binding to
the target site and subsequent DNA cleavage is multi-step,often resulting in small insertion and
deletion(indel)mutations at the cleavage site upon repair via the non-homologous end joining(NHEJ)pathway,thereby
silencing gene expression.Specifically,the following tasks can be performed:
- Genome editing:SuperKO sgRNA Clones enable accurate gene knockout in prokaryotic organisms
through CRISPR/Cas9.
- Multiplex editing:Facilitates simultaneous marker-free editing of multiple genes,enhancing
efficiency in genome engineering.
- Functional genomics studies:Offers dependable sgRNAs for extensive investigations,ensuring
precision in pooled screening experiments.
- Antimicrobial development:Insight into sgRNA activity supports the design of potent
antimicrobials using CRISPR technology to target bacterial cells effectively.
Case Study
Case Study 1
Researchers aimed to elucidate the role of MDM2 E3 ligase activity in regulating p53 and cell cycle progression.They
utilized an MDM2 sgRNA Vector to specifically disrupt MDM2 E3 ligase function while maintaining its interaction with
MDM4.This allowed them to investigate the impact of MDM2 E3 ligase activity on p53 regulation in vivo.The study
revealed that Mdm2L466A/L466A mice,lacking MDM2 E3 ligase activity,exhibited embryonic lethality due to
p53-dependent mechanisms,highlighting the essential role of MDM2 E3 ligase in p53 regulation.Additionally,they
observed unexpected cell cycle defects and increased aneuploidy in cells expressing the E3-dead MDM2
mutant,suggesting a p53-independent role of MDM2 E3 ligase in cell cycle regulation and genome integrity
maintenance.These findings shed light on the multifaceted functions of MDM2 in cellular processes beyond its
canonical role in p53 regulation.
Figure 1.Researchers analyzed p53 expression using WB analysis in E9.5
embryos of different genotypes.They utilized sgRNA vector to knock out the target gene and observed normalized p53
levels.Additionally,they performed WB analysis in MEFs with different treatments to study p53,MDM2,and MDM4 protein
expression levels.(Chinnam M,et al.,2022)
Case Study 2
The effectiveness of BET protein inhibitors(BETi's) in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is hindered by the
development of adaptive or innate resistance. Researchers used sgRNA vectors to knock out specific genes and
understand BET protein inhibitor (BETi) resistance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). They found increased activity in
certain chromatin regions associated with β-catenin, TCF7L2, JMJD6, and c-Myc in resistant AML cells. Knocking out
TCF7L2 or JMJD6 reversed resistance, while overexpression conferred resistance. Patient-derived AML cells with
resistance also showed elevated expression of these genes. Targeting them with CRISPR/Cas9 reduced cell viability.
Combining small-molecule inhibitors with BETi's reduced c-Myc levels and improved survival in mouse models.This
suggests targeting multiple components of the resistance mechanism can overcome BETi resistance in AML cells.
Figure 2.The target genes'expression was depleted,cell viability was
reduced,and sensitivity to BET inhibitor treatment was restored in SET-2 and SET-2-OTX P/R cells through the
knockout of TCF7L2 and JMJD6 using sgRNA vectors.Successful knockout and phenotypic changes were confirmed by
immunoblot and confocal microscopy analyses.(Saenz DT,et al.,2020)
