Description

This Constitutively Expressed dCas9 Operon is an assembly of the constitutive promoter BBa_J23100, a strong RBS BBa_B0034, coding sequence of dCas9 protein and a reliable terminator BBa_B0015.
dCas9 is a mutant of Cas9, with its endonuclease activity wiped out. dCas9 acts as the sole protein in CRISPRi system (Qi et al., 2013).

Notes

The expression level of dCas9 shall be delicately controlled, so as to acquire continuous adjustment (regulation) of target genes.

Source

The dCas9 comes from S. pyogenes.
