The Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) PAM nucleotide sequence was derived from a public database (Table 2).
Fifteen different siRNAs were designed on the basis of the C. griseus PAM nucleotide sequence and tested on the CHO Der2 parental cell line.

A structural comparison of the three SpCas9 variants with wild-type SpCas9 revealed that the multiple mutations synergistically induce an unexpected displacement in the phosphodiester backbone of the PAM duplex, thereby allowing the SpCas9 variants to directly recognize the altered PAM nucleotides.
The structures revealed that the RVR and RR variants primarily recognize the PAM-complementary nucleotides via the substituted residues.
For each off-target we also report the fully dereferenced instance of the PAM for PAM strings (e.g. NGG, NAG, NNNNACA) with unspecified nucleotides.
Distance matrixes were generated using the Tamura Nei model for nucleotide and PAM model for amino acid using the MEGA 4.0 program [13].
The PAM sequence located 3 nucleotides upstream of the double strand break site is underlined.
The specificity of Cas9 homing is determined by the nuclease PAM motif and 20 nucleotides of the complementary sequence of sgRNA.
The target site must be adjacent to a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) consisting of a random nucleotide and two guanines (NGG) (Jinek et al., 2012; Mali et al., 2013).
Among the proteins able to interact with PAM are two Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), Kalirin and Trio, identified by yeast two-hybrid screens using the cytosolic domain of PAM as bait (Alam et al. 1996; Xin et al. 2004).
Few studies have demonstrated the absolute dependency of Cas9 cleavage activity on the correct 8 12 nucleotides proximal to PAM; however, a few mismatches distal to PAM can be tolerated (Hsu et al. 2013; Sternberg et al. 2014).
