Fig. 2

a Schematic showing the pmTmG reporter assay for comparing different PAMs of Nme1Cas9, Nme2Cas9, and NcCas9 orthologs. Variable PAM sequences were introduced into the constructs. In the presence of a functional PAM, cleavage-mediated tdTomato cassette excision was performed, which led to the expression of EGFP, thereby allowing live visualization under a fluorescence microscope or detection via flow cytometry analysis (FCA). b Comparison of Nme1Cas9, Nme2Cas9, and NcCas9 cleavage efficiency of different PAMs by FCA. The different PAMs were designed based on the optimal GTACGTAT PAM sequence. Red or green represents the tdTomato or EGFP signal, respectively. c Representative fluorescence microscopy images of PAM analysis. Scale bar, 200 μm. Error bars indicate the s.e.m. (n = 3).
