Cas9 nuclease in the CRISPR-Cas9 system
The CRISPR-associated enzyme Cas9 is an RNA-guided endonuclease that requires a guide RNA for genomic DNA target recognition and generation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB).
Purified Cas9 nuclease NLS protein offers a ready-to-use option, enabling researchers to accelerate genome engineering experiments in a completely DNA-free manner.
Cas9 protein highlights
- Straightforward co-transfection or co-electroporation with synthetic guide RNA
- No external DNA added to system to ensure against the possibility of incorporating plasmid DNA into the host cell's genome
- No issues with incompatibilities between promoter and cell line
- Transient expression of Cas9 nuclease to reduce off targeting
DharmaFECT transfection reagents are highly recommended for use with Edit-R™ gene editing reagents and should be purchased separately. Refer to the DharmaFECT Cell Type Guide to find the appropriate formulation for your cell type.

Gene knockout workflow using Cas9 nuclease protein & Edit-R synthetic guide RNA
Gene editing with Cas9 Nuclease protein NLS and guide RNA is performed by co-transfecting all components with DharmaFECT Duo Transfection Reagent (or other DharmaFECT transfection reagent suitable to your specific cells of interest). One may then observe phenotypes directly. A DNA mismatch detection assay can be used to estimate gene editing efficiency prior to clonal cell line generation and characterization.
Cas9 nuclease protein NLS data
Synthetic guide RNAs and Cas9 nuclease protein electroporated as RNP
Guide RNAs and Cas9 protein were combined to form an RNP complex and nucleofected into CD3/CD28 stimulated CD4+ primary human T-cells. Phenotypic functional knockout was measured by FACS analysis of target gene expression 72-hours after nucleofection.
Synthetic guide RNAs co-delivered with Cas9 nuclease protein
U2OS cells were plated at 10,000 cells/well in 96-well plates and co-transfected using DharmaFECT 1 transfection reagent (0.1µL/well) with synthetic guide RNAs and Cas9 nuclease protein NLS. Gene editing was assessed by T7E1 mismatch repair assay. NTC1 = Non-Targeting Control sgRNA.
