Abstract

This work describes a modification of the pRH2521 vector of the pRH2502/pRH2521 system for CRISPR-dCas9-mediated RNA interference. The modification enabled an increase in the cloning efficiency of guide RNA spacers. The ability of the modified pRH2502/pRH2521 system to suppress the transcription of certain genes was evaluated with the use of genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis adenylate cyclases. The results revealed the limitations of the pRH2502/pRH2521 system for CRISPR interference associated with the probability of the detection of a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) in the gene promoter region.
