dCas9-ω
This part can be considered as an improvement of the biobrick dCas9-ω Activator (BBa_K1218014) . Our protein acts using sgRNAs (single guide RNA, such as BBa_K1723002) as guide RNAs [2], instead of tracrRNA/CRISPR array system. SgRNAs are more modular as they can be produced separately when needed in CRISPRi context. Also, the production of the complex is faster as less processing steps are needed. Finally, the sequences are shorter and facilitate the scalability.
PAM rich URS J23117 promoter
PAM rich URS J23117 is an improvement of the J23117 (BBa_J23117) weak promoter. This promoter is the promoter J23117 flanked with a PAM (PAM = NGG sequence) rich Upstream Regulatory Sequence (URS) to enable the use of protein dCas9-ω (BBa_K1723000) as a gene transcription regulator
PAM rich URS J23117Alt promoter
PAM rich URS J23117Alt is a new fully synthetic promoter obtained by mutation of PAM rich URS J23117 promoter (BBa_K1723001). It acts the exactly same way as the PAM rich URS J23117 promoter but is targeted by others specific sgRNAS
