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

Organism
Homo sapiens
Gene type
protein-coding
Official full symbol
O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase
Also known as
HINCUT-1, HRNT1, MRX106, O-GLCNAC, OGT1
Genomic regions
Chromosome X
Summary
This gene encodes a glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the addition of a single N-acetylglucosamine in O-glycosidic linkage to serine or threonine residues. Since both phosphorylation and glycosylation compete for similar serine or threonine residues, the two processes may compete for sites, or they may alter the substrate specificity of nearby sites by steric or electrostatic effects. The protein contains multiple tetratricopeptide repeats that are required for optimal recognition of substrates. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

Project Comprehensive Difficulty Assessment
According to the Red Cotton database: the OGT 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
0.7% cells with low expression level,
99.3% cells with medium expression level
of OGT gene.
Cell line is not selected, unable to assess the accurate expression level, for reference only.
Ubigene is an international high-technology enterprise focused on gene-editing cells.
