SpCas9 (D10A, H840A)-NLS

Description

Cas9 is a multidomain nuclease from the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes characteristic of type II CRISPR- Cas systems (1). Using single guide RNA (sgRNA), Cas9 is targeted to specific genomic loci where it generates a blunt ended double strand break (2). SpCas9 (D10A, H840A)-NLS is a catalytic mutant of Cas9 containing a nuclear localization sequence for optimal activity (3). Unlike wild type Cas9, SpCas9 (D10A, H840A)-NLS lacks all nuclease activity (3). SpCas9 (D10A, H840A)-NLS can be used for various genome editing applications.

Accession Number

Q99ZW2

Formulation

Recombinant protein stored 50mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.5, 300mM NaCl, 200mM imidazole, 1mM DTT, 10% glycerol.

Storage

Store product at 70℃. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles. Always include RNase inhibitor at manufacturer recommended concentrations in Cas enzyme reactions.
