CRISPR Mediated Target Validation of ERCC3 as the Target of Triptolide

Abstract

Exome sequencing of Triptolide-resistant haploid cells identified mutations in TFIIH complex, with a majority of them in the ERCC3 subunit. These mutations turned out to be recessive, therefore difficult to validate using conventional cDNA overexpression approach. Here we adopted a novel CRISPR-based knock-in strategy which makes it very straightforward to re-introduce the recessive point mutations that confer drug resistance phenotype in cells. Coupled with mutagenesis and next generation sequencing, this novel gene-editing strategy can expedite small molecule target identification and validation in mammalian cells.
