dCas9-ω
dCa9s-ω is our main tool to build our project in E. coli. This catalytically dead Cas9 fused to the RNA polymerase ω subunit can act as an activator or as an inhibitor when provided the right guide RNA.
PAM rich URS J23117
This part is promoter that can be used with our dCas9-ω
This promoter is composed of the weak J23117 promoter, BBa_J23117, fused to a PAM rich upstream regulatory region (URS) that is needed for dCas9 to bind as dCas9 cannot bind without a PAM sequence.
