Background: dCas9 (deficient Cas9) protein is an endonuclease-inactive version of Cas9 (CRISPR associated protein 9). Cas9 is an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease associated with adaptive immunity system in Streptococcus pyogenes, among other bacteria. Cas9 can unwind foreign DNA and checking for sites complementary to the 20 basepair spacer region of the guide RNA. If the DNA substrate is complementary to the guide RNA, Cas9 cleaves the invading DNA. In this sense, the CRISPR-Cas9 mechanism has a number of parallels with the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism in eukaryotes. dCas9 lacks endonuclease activity so that it binds but does not cleave cognate DNA, which can be used to localize transcriptional activators or repressors to specific DNA sequences in order to control transcription. While native Cas9 requires a guide RNA composed of two disparate RNAs that associate to make the guide-the CRISPR RNA (crRNA), and the trans-activating RNA (tracrRNA), dCas9 targeting has been simplified through the engineering of a chimeric single guide RNA (chiRNA).

Product Notes
The dCas9 (Catalog #AAA389127) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "dCas9, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
