CRISPR/Cas9 bioluminescence-based assay for monitoring CFTR trafficking to the plasma membrane
Life science alliance(2023)
摘要
CFTR is a membrane protein that functions as an ion channel. Mutations that disrupt its biosynthesis, trafficking or function cause cystic fibrosis (CF). Here, we present a novel in vitro model system prepared using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing with en-dogenously expressed WT-CFTR tagged with a HiBiT peptide. To enable the detection of CFTR in the plasma membrane of live cells, we inserted the HiBiT tag in the fourth extracellular loop of WT-CFTR. The 11-amino acid HiBiT tag binds with high affinity to a large inactive subunit (LgBiT), generating a reporter luciferase with bright luminescence. Nine homozygous clones with the HiBiT knock-in were identified from the 182 screened clones; two were genetically and functionally validated. In summary, this work describes the preparation and validation of a novel reporter cell line with the potential to be used as an ultimate building block for developing unique cellular CF models by CRISPR-mediated insertion of CF-causing mutations.
