Principle
The Knockout-TF Reporter Combo System is a ready-to-use assay platform that integrates CRISPR-mediated gene knockout with our transcription factor (TF)-responsive luciferase reporter cell lines. Designed for pathway discovery, compound screening, and functional genomics, this system allows straightforward and sensitive luciferase readouts to easily monitor the effects of CRISPR knockouts.
Our CRISPR KO vector employs a dual sgRNA system optimized for single-gene knockout. Two independently expressed sgRNAs under U6 and H1 promoters target multiple regions within the same gene, ensuring precise and efficient disruption. This enhanced design increases knockout success and overall editing efficiency.
Researchers can directly combine our TF specific reporter lines with specific gene-targeted CRISPR knockout plasmids for a fast, sensitive way to study gene function and signaling pathways. CRISPR disrupts the target gene, while the reporter provides real-time, quantitative luciferase readouts of downstream TF activity.
Why use this system?
-
Direct functional readout: Confirm knockout effects by measuring TF activity changes.
-
Link genotype to phenotype: Quickly see how gene edits affect pathways.
-
Pathway-specific insights: Use pathway-targeted reporters (e.g., NFκB, STAT3) to uncover gene roles and crosstalk.
-
High-throughput ready: Fast, scalable luciferase assays replace complex methods.
-
Consistent results: Stable reporter lines ensure reproducibility.
-
Plug and Play: Seamlessly combine any KO Vector with our TF Reporter Cell Lines to uncover gene-pathway interactions—no cloning or optimization needed.
Example use cases:
-
NRF2 Reporter Cell Line + NRF2 Knockout: Decrease in luciferase signal under both basal and induced conditions.
-
NRF2 Reporter Cell Line + KEAP1 Knockout: Increased basal and induced luciferase activity due to constitutive activation of NRF2
