Cas9 is the nuclease guided by the crRNA and tracrRNA (or trans-activating crRNA) to cleave specific DNA sequences. A guide RNA (gRNA) can be designed to include a hairpin that mimics the tracrRNA-crRNA complex. Binding specificity is based on the gRNA and a three nucleotide NGG sequence called the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence. With its ease in designing guide sequences to target specific genomic loci, the CRISPR/Cas system is a much simpler, faster, and robust alternative to TALEN and Zinc finger nuclease platforms. For site-specific genome editing, the CRISPR/Cas9 system requires the Cas 9 nuclease and the gRNA. This adenovirus expresses a codon-optimized NLS-spCas9 nuclease, along with an eGFP reporter. It can be used along with guided RNA for genome-editing.

Retinoids are metabolites of vitamin A (retinol) that represent an important group of signaling molecules during vertebrate development and tissue differentiation. Retinoic acid receptors (RARs) include RAR-alpha, RAR-beta and RAR-gamma, each of which has a high affinity for all transretinoic acids. Members of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) family, RXR-alpha, RXR-beta1, RXR-beta2 and RXR-gamma, are activated by 9-cis-retinoic acid, a stereo- and photoisomer of all transretinoic acids that is expressed in vivo in both liver and kidney and may represent a widely used hormone. The RAR-related orphan nuclear receptors (ROR) bind DNA as monomers and include ROR-alpha, ROR-beta and ROR-gamma. DAX-1 binds to retinoic acid response elements to mediate transcription. FXR (activated by farnesol and related metabolites) binds RXR to form a heterodimer, which subsequently binds IR-1 elements.

This is an pre-made gene silencing adenovirus that expresses a shRNA to knockdown mouse PKC-alpha gene. The shRNA expression is driven by an U6 promoter. The knockdown of this mouse gene was validated by western blot in C2C12 cells.

Cre recombinase is used as a tool to genetically modify genes, such as to delete a segment of DNA flanked by LoxP sites in cells or experimental animals. By applying the mammalian codon usage to Cre recombinase, expression of Cre is improved in the mammalian cells. This improved Cre (iCre) gene also reduce the high CpG content of the prokaryotic coding sequence, thereby reducing the chances of epigenetic silencing in mammals. The AAV-DJ is a synthetic serotype made from DNA family shuffling of 8 wild type serotypes of AAV, including AAV2, 4, 5, 8, 9, avian, bovine and goat AAV. AAV-DJ outperformed standard AAV serotype 1-8 in cultured cells. This AAV-DJ stock expresses an improved Cre (iCre) and an eGFP driven by one CMV promoter. The iCre and eGFP was separated by a 2A peptides.

The IkB kinases, IKK(alpha) (previously designated CHUK) and IKK(beta), are members of the helix-loop-helix, leucine zipper family of interacting proteins. IKK(alpha) specifically phosphorylates IkB(alpha) on the sites, serines 32 and 36, to trigger its degradation. The IKK complex appears to be critical for NFkB activation in response to proinflammatory cytokines. Phosphorylation of IkB by IKK(alpha) is stimulated by the NFkB inducing kinase (NIK), which itself is a central regulator for NFkB activation. The functional IKK complex contains three subunits, IKK(alpha), IKK(beta) and IKK(gamma) (also designated NEMO, for NFkB essential modulator), and each appear to make essential contributions to IkB phosphorylation. TANK binding kinase (TBK1), also designated T2K, is an IKK-related kinase that complexes with TRAF2 and TANK in the NF?B activation pathway. IKK-i is an IKK-related serine/threonine kinase that is expressed in immune cells and is inducible by LPS, TNF(alpha), IL-1 and IL-6. Overexpression of IKK-i results in IkB(alpha) phosphorylation and NFkB activation.

The estrogen receptor-related receptor gamma (ERR gamma/ERR3/NR3B3) is the newest member of the ERR subfamily that also includes ERR alpha and ERR beta. All three isoforms share a high degree of amino acid identity especially in the DNA binding domain. ERR gamma is a constitutively active transcriptional activator that regulates reporter elements driven by steroidogenic factor 1 response element (SF-1RE) and estrogen response element (ERE).

This AAV serotype 2 virus (both Capsid and ITR from AAV2) expresses Cre Recombinase. This Cre contains a nuclear localization signal (NLS).Cre recombinase is a Type I topoisomerase from P1 bacteriophage that catalyzes site-specific recombination of DNA between loxP sites. loxP is a 34 bp DNA sequence at which confers directionality. Cre recombinase is used as a tool to genetically modify genes, such as to delete a segment of DNA flanked by LoxP sites in cultured cells or experimental animals.

There are at least two distinct receptor subtypes of angiotensin II: angiotensin II receptor, type 1 (AGTR1) and angiotensin II receptor, type 2 (AGTR2). Most of the effects of angiotensin II are mediated by the AGTR1 receptor. This gene is related to the AGTR1 gene by sequence similarity. It was cloned based on a conserved transmembrane domain found in members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) gene family.

The Myb family of transcription factors regulate differentiation and cellular growth through binding to promoters with the consensus sequence 5'-AAC(G/T)G-3' and transactivating gene expression. The proto-oncogene c-Myb is the cellular homolog of the leukemogenic avian retroviral protein v-Myc, and c-Myc is expressed predominantly in immature and rapidly dividing hematopoietic cells. Additional members of the family include B-Myb, a 110 kDa protein that is expressed in a wide variety of proliferating cells at the G1 to S phase transition, and A-Myb, which is expressed in reproductive tissues, some neural cells and a subset of normal and neoplastic B lymphocytes. Transactivation properties of B-Myb are apparently dependent upon the protein's hyperphosphorylation at several C-terminal residues, including Thr 447, Thr 490, Thr 497 and Ser 581. Dmp1 is related to the Myb family and also functions as a transcriptional activator. Dmp1 contains three tandem Myb repeats and is a putative substrate for cyclin D-dependent kinase.

The CAG promoter is a hybrid of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) early enhancer element and chicken beta-actin promoter. The CAG promoter is used to drive high levels of gene expression in mammalian expression vectors. This AAV serotype 5 virus (Capsid from AAV5 and ITR from AAV2) expresses eGFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) under the control of CAG promoter.
