Biochem/physiol Actions:
The ZFN (zinc finger nuclease) provided in this kit targets the TARBP1 (TAR (HIV-1) RNA binding protein 1) gene. TARBP1 binds strongly to the small hairpin trans-activation responsive (TAR) RNA of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-1. It might have a role in disengaging RNA polymerase II from HIV-1 TAR RNA. In addition, it is also a part of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). It interacts with Dicer and helps in processing of pre-microRNAs. TARBP1 also participates in other cellular functions, such as protein synthesis, RNA post-translational modifications, cellular proliferation, gene expression and stress-associated cellular processes.
General description: CompoZr Knockout ZFNs create targeted double strand breaks at a gene specific target locus. Through the cellular process of Non-Homologous End Joining, this double strand break can result in modification of the DNA sequence and therefore create a functional knockout of the targeted gene. To provide the best chance of creating a functional gene knockout, CompoZr Knockout ZFNs are targeted to the first 2/3 of the coding region for the gene of interest.

Physical form: CompoZr Knockout ZFNs are provided as 10 aliquots of mRNA encoding for the ZFNs along with plasmid DNA for both ZFN pairs. Also included in the kit are custom-designed primers, that allow for determination of the rate of mutation and for screening of individual clones that have the desired mutational event, and positive control DNA that has been modified using the CompoZr Knockout ZFN.
RIDADR: NONH for all modes of transport
