pTMt_NES_TCS(Q’G)_HA-dCas9(N)_P2A-Puro-WPRE
(Plasmid #101101)

• Purpose: Encodes dCas9(N) fused to transmembrane tether
• Depositing Lab: Tudor Fulga
• Depositing Organization: University of Oxford
  Located in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
• Publication: Baeumler et al Cell Rep. 2017 Sep 12;20(11):2639-2653. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2017.08.044.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pX855
• Modifications to backbone: The pX855 vector (gift from Feng Zhang, Addgene plasmid #62887) was modified as follows: the U6 promoter/sgRNA scaffold/U6 terminator cassette was removed; the dCas9(N) N-terminal NES and the C-terminal FRB+NES were also removed; a transmembrane tether (TMt; modified from the pDisplay Vector (Invitrogen)) containing the Igκ signal sequence, (GGGS)2 linker, myc epitope tag, PDGF receptor transmembrane domain and the XTEN linker, was synthesized as a gBlock (IDT). This transmembrane tether was then fused to the N-terminus of HA-dCas9(N) via a NES sequence and a TEV cleavage site (ENLYFQG); the puromycin resistance gene and the WPRE stabilising element from pCW-Cas9 (gift from Eric Lander and David Sabatini, Addgene plasmid #50661) were inserted downstream of dCas9(N).
