2022年3月8日 · We report the mechanism underlying translocations induced by Cas9, and propose a general strategy for reducing chromosomal abnormalities induced by CRISPR-RNA-guided endonucleases. CRISPR-Cas9...

More technically, Cas9 is a RNA-guided DNA endonuclease enzyme associated with the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats adaptive immune system in Streptococcus pyogenes. [3] [4] [5] S. pyogenes utilizes CRISPR to memorize and Cas9 to later interrogate and cleave foreign DNA, such as invading bacteriophage DNA or plasmid DNA.

Cas9 has been harnessed as a powerful tool for genome editing and gene regulation in many eukaryotic organisms. We report 2.6 and 2.2 angstrom resolution crystal structures of two major Cas9 enzyme subtypes, revealing the structural core shared by all Cas9 family members.

2025年1月15日 · Part of the prokaryotic adaptive immunity mechanism used to cleave invading nucleic acids, the CRISPR-Cas9 is a unique, RNA-guided endonuclease; its dsDNA cleavage activity relies on a Cas9 ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex composed of a Cas9 protein, a tracrRNA, and a crRNA.

2025年3月31日 · In this study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of Sp Cas9 (Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9) endonuclease and it’s in vitro DNA cleaving ability in manipulating plasmid constructs and screening mutations in gene-edited plants.

2014年7月27日 · The CRISPR-associated protein Cas9 is an RNA-guided endonuclease that cleaves double-stranded DNA bearing sequences complementary to a 20-nucleotide segment in the guide RNA 1, 2....

2018年4月18日 · We report the design and in vitro evaluation of S. pyogenes Cas9 proteins harboring asialoglycoprotein receptor ligands (ASGPrL). In particular, we demonstrate that the resulting ribonucleoproteins (Cas9-ASGPrL RNP) can be engineered to be preferentially internalized into cells expressing the corresponding receptor on their surface.

Cas9 is an RNA-guided endonuclease capable of cleaving double-stranded DNA. The substrate specificity of Cas9 is determined by a 20-nucleotide sequence within a bound guide RNA that directs the enzyme to complementary sequences in dsDNA through base-pairing interactions (Gasiunas, Barrangou, Horvath, & Siksnys, 2012; Jinek et al., 2012).

CRISPR-associated endonuclease Cas9 cuts DNA at variable target sites designated by a Cas9-bound RNA molecule. Cas9's ability to be directed by single ‘guide RNA’ molecules to target nearly any sequence has been recently exploited for …

2015年12月5日 · The RNA-guided endonuclease Cas9 is a versatile genome-editing tool with a broad range of applications from therapeutics to functional annotation of genes. Cas9 creates double-strand breaks (DSBs) at targeted genomic loci complementary to a short RNA guide. However, Cas9 can cleave off-target sites …
