Basic Parts
This year the iGEM Edinburgh_OG team focused on developing a modular toolkit using CRISPR systems and phages to re-sensitise antibiotic-resistant bacteria. As a BioBrick we submit the E. coli codon-optimised Staphylococcus aureus Cas9.

How does this part work?
- Our SaCas9 can be programmed to cleave specific target sequence followed by the PAM sequence (5’-NNGRRT-3’).
- To express SaCas9, it requires suitable machinery such as promoter, RBS,and terminator.
- To programme SaCas9, you need to design guide RNA (tracrRNA [2], 21 bp spacer flanked by direct repeats [2] ).
Advantages of SaCas9 compared with the conventional Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9:
- Smaller size (1053 amino acids against 1368) resulting in an easier expression/delivery
- Different PAM sequence recognised (5’-NNGRRT-3’ ) increasing the usability
- Higher efficiency of SaCas9 over SpCas9 [2]
