Specifications

Our proposal is to provide a bacterial genome editing approach based on BioBrick parts assembly easy to engineer as A, B, C… CRISPR

Scientific community had achieved great results using CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome editing techniques. While these methods are moving forward, some basic methodological aspects related to this approach could be further improved to expand this science revolution.

Cas9 (BBa_K2457001): Standardized Cas9 device, regulated by the AraC_pBAD regulatory module. In the single guide RNA presence, it forms a catalytically active ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex which cleaves specifics target sequences from DNA, leading to double-strand breaks. Through cell repair pathways, it will lays the road to genomic editing in living cells. Optimized sgRNA (BBa_K2457002): → aqui, estrutura secundária fofinha do sgRNA This biobrick is constitutively expressed by J23100 promoter and codify an optimized sgRNA chimera composed of a protospacer crRNA with a GG motif at the 3’ end of its target-specific sequence, a tracrRNA with extended duplex length and a mutation at the thymine 4. It was rationally engineered to improve the editing efficiency of CRISPR-Cas9 machinery. When expressed, it guides the Cas9 nuclease activity through Rosalind-Watson-Crick base pairing complementarity with the target sequence. RecA (Bba_K2457003) RecA is an essential building block part which leads the homologous recombination AND DNA insertion into the genome. After the target sequence cleavage catalyzed by the Cas9-sgRNA complex, the SOS response machinery is activated. As an output of the repair pathway, RecA builds a DNA-protein filament which investigates for a homologous template on undamaged DNA sequences, assisting in the invasion process and setting-up the Holliday Junction.
