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 PCBP1 Knockout
model in cell line by CRISPR-U™-mediated genome engineering.

Summary
This intronless gene is thought to have been generated by retrotransposition of a fully processed PCBP-2 mRNA. This gene and PCBP-2 have paralogues (PCBP3 and PCBP4) which are thought to have arisen as a result of duplication events of entire genes. The protein encoded by this gene appears to be multifunctional. It along with PCBP-2 and hnRNPK corresponds to the major cellular poly(rC)-binding protein. It contains three K-homologous (KH) domains which may be involved in RNA binding. This encoded protein together with PCBP-2 also functions as translational coactivators of poliovirus RNA via a sequence-specific interaction with stem-loop IV of the IRES and promote poliovirus RNA replication by binding to its 5'-terminal cloverleaf structure. It has also been implicated in translational control of the 15-lipoxygenase mRNA, human Papillomavirus type 16 L2 mRNA, and hepatitis A virus RNA. The encoded protein is also suggested to play a part in formation of a sequence-specific alpha-globin mRNP complex which is associated with alpha-globin mRNA stability.

Project Comprehensive Difficulty Assessment
According to the Red Cotton database: the PCBP1 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.
In all cell lines, there is
100.0% cells with medium expression level
of PCBP1 gene.
Cell line is not selected, unable to assess the accurate expression level, for reference only.
In all cell lines, there is
54.9% cells with low copy number,
41.0% cells with medium copy number,
4.1% cells with high copy number
of PCBP1 gene.
