CRISPR-U™ Gene Knockout Cell Line Strategy

MCM2 Gene Knockout Strategy

CRISPR-U™ technology (CRISPR based), developed by Ubigene, is more efficient than general CRISPR/Cas9 technology in double-strand breaking and homologous recombination. With CRISPR-U™, Ubigene has successfully edited over 3000 genes on more than 200 types of cell lines.
Objective
To create a Human MCM2 Knockout model in cell line by CRISPR-U™-mediated genome engineering.

Chromosome 3
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are involved in the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. The hexameric protein complex formed by MCM proteins is a key component of the pre-replication complex (pre_RC) and may be involved in the formation of replication forks and in the recruitment of other DNA replication related proteins. This protein forms a complex with MCM4, 6, and 7, and has been shown to regulate the helicase activity of the complex. This protein is phosphorylated, and thus regulated by, protein kinases CDC2 and CDC7. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been defined.

Project Comprehensive Difficulty Assessment

According to the Red Cotton database: the MCM2 gene is evaluated as high lethality riskin cell line, and the CRISPR gene-editing strategy design is Unknown.
Knockout project comprehensive difficulty is thus assessed as Unknown. KO experiment is not recommended.
