Figure Lengend Snippet: Multiplexed sgRNA repression of mRFP fluorescence. A Cultures grown with no IPTG; B Cultures grown with 2 mM IPTG induction of repression to an OD 600 of 0.4, with triplicate 200 mL aliquots assayed for fluorescence in a 96-well multimodal plate-reader. Specific fluorescence (relative fluorescence units/OD 600 ; excitation 584 nm, emission 607 nm) of the single and multiplexed sgRNA plasmid carrying strains was normalized to the control strain ES114:JMP1189 (mRFP + , no sgRNA). Columns indicate mean values of three independent experiments (biological replicates). Different letters on the abscissa denotate significant differences between groups according to the Tukey post-hoc comparison
Article Snippet: For the single (no targeting spacer sequence) sgRNA plasmid psgRNA, the empty sgRNA (triple- BsaI ) expression cassette from plasmid pJMP1339 (Addgene #119271) was PCR amplified with tail primers that provided ~ 30 bp homologous end overlap to the pVSV105 backbone PCR amplicon (See Table S2 for sequences).
