Schematic illustration representing nonviral CRISPR interference system delivery to white adipocytes. The dCas9 plasmid and sgRNA against Fabp4 gene formed complexes with ATS-9R peptide via electrostatic interaction. The highly cationic ATS-9R functions as a targeting and condensing peptide to deliver dCas9/sgRNA to white adipose tissues, and dCas9 plasmid contains nuclear localization signals (NLSs) on both the N-terminus and C-terminus for delivery to the nucleus.
