1 How we can achieve disruption of the genes essential for cell viability in DT40 cells? Tackling essential genes; tagging Minoru Takata Laboratory of DNA Damage Signaling, Department of Late Effect Studies, Radiation Biology Center, Kyoto University

2 Make a conditional knockout! 1.Testing an essential gene 2.Essential combination (synthetic lethality) 3.Deleting a gene in a mutant that shows low targeting frequency (e.g. HR mutants)

3 Generation of Conditional Mutant Cells Wild-type Heterozygous Homozygous Dead Homozygous Alive 1st allele 2nd allele Dead Random integration of A conditional gene 2nd allele Heterozygous Off

4 1.Tet off system based on integration of two plasmids cf. promoter hijacking strategy 2.Auxin degron system -Use of bicistronic vector system -In frame knock-in of the degron 3. Inducible Cre-loxP system: - use of an expression vector incorporating loxP sites - knock-in of the loxP sites (with an epitope tag)

5 Tet off system

7 Generation of Conditional Mutant Cells Wild-type Heterozygous Homozygous Dead Homozygous Alive +hRad51 1st allele 2nd allele Dead Random integration of tTA and Tet-hRad51 expression vectors 2nd allele Heterozygous +hRad51 Tet Rad51-/- cells were created following this strategy with sequential transfection. Tet, tetracycline.

8 Regulation of hRad51 protein expression in conditional Rad51 -/- DT40 Wt DT40 RAD51+/- RAD51+/- tet-hRAD51 RAD51-/- tet-hRAD51 Human B cell Ramos 0369121815 hrs Time after addition of tetracyclin Human Chicken Human hRad51 migrates a bit faster than chicken counterpart as shown here. Expression of hRad51 can be rapidly turned off upon addition of tet into culture medium.

9 Chromosome breaks in Rad51 -/- DT40 Isochromatid breaks are observed frequently in the absence of Rad51, suggesting spontaneous occurrence of DSB during replication and its repair by HR pathway. Isochromatid break Chromatid break

10 Auxin degron system

11 You can buy this vector …though a bit expensive…

12 TIR1 is an E3 ligase from plants. Auxin degron (AID) interacts with TIR1 containing SCF complex in the presence of the plant hormone auxin. Nat Methods. 2009 Dec;6(12):917-22. Epub 2009 Nov 15.An auxin-based degron system for the rapid depletion of proteins in nonplant cells.

13 AID system can be used in two ways in DT40 1.Expression of OsTIR1 and degron-fused protein of interest from the bicistronic plasmid vector system (random integration) 2. Knock-in of the degron at the termination codon of the gene of interest

14 Example 1 Expression of degron-fused FANCD2 in fancd2 knockout cells Aim – Testing the system – To make doubleknockouts in fancd2 background

19 Example 2 Knock-in of degron at the termination codon of Ino80 gene Aim – Testing the method – To test the chromatin remodeling factor in DNA damage response and replication – To bypass the possibility of lethality and the secondary effects through transcriptional regulation

22 Inducible Cre-ER/loxP system

23 Example 1 To make double knockout of Xrcc3 and Rad52 Aim – To elucidate the genetic relationship between the two

24 Rad52 and Rad51 paralogs are important regulator of Rad51 function in homologous recombination (HR). Yeast Rad52 is critical for HR while mammalian or chicken Rad52 has a minimal function. There are only two Rad51 paralogs (Rad55 and 57), while chicken or human Rad51 paralog family has five members (Xrcc2/3, Rad51B/C/D).

25 What is the relationship between Rad52 and Rad51 paralogs in vertebrates? It is impossible to disrupt a gene in Rad51 paralog mutant. Xrcc3 targeting in rad52 mutant failed. Synthetic lethality?
