Problems solved by technology

However, most of the existing successful programs are unilateral studies on gene editing or transcriptional activation, and the selected regulatory drugs or methods are not suitable for all fields, and the design of split Cas9 makes the results of drug induction irreversible, so , it is necessary to develop a new drug-induced system

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of molecular biology, in particular to a drug inducible CRISPR / Cas9 system for gene transcription activation. The drug inducible CRISPR / Cas9 system comprises 16-22ntsgRNA targeting a specific gene site and any one of vector / vector combination as (1)-(3) below: (1) a vector expressing fusion protein dCas9-(ERT2)n-ADs or dCas9-ADs-(ERT2)n; (2) a vector combinationexpressing fusion protein dCas9-(NLS) m or dCas9-(ERT2)n and MCP-(ERT2)n-ADs; (iii) a vector combination expressing fusion protein dCas9-(NLS)m-(GCN4)p and scFv-(ERT2)n-ADs. Compared with the prior art, the system of the invention can more effectively realize the regulation of drug-induced gene transcription activation, and has more flexible and convenient operation and lower background activity.It is helpful to control the dynamic biological process effectively and precisely, and has great value for the research and development of biomedicine.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of molecular biology, in particular to a drug-inducible CRISPR / Cas9 system for gene transcription activation. Background technique [0002] The CRISPR / Cas9 system is derived from the immune mechanism of bacteria to degrade invading viral DNA or other foreign DNA. Utilizing RNA-mediated DNA-binding activity and endonuclease activity, the system can be regulated in the genome in a sequence-dependent manner. Cas9 protein binds and cleaves double-stranded DNA in a sequence-specific manner, and this sequence-specific binding is achieved by guide RNA (gRNA) complementary to the target sequence and adjacent protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM). The complex formed by Cas9 and gRNA mediates DNA double-strand breaks, and the targeted gene editing is also completed through the two DNA repair mechanisms of NHEJ and HDR. The CRISPR / Cas9 system can also be combined with different effector molecules to expand its functions, enabling i...
