Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1 Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening identifies genes involved in NKp44-mediated specific killing of tumor cells by KHYG-1 cells. (A) Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening design. HCT-116 Cas9+ cells were transduced with the knockout sgRNA Brunello library. Collection of mutant cells was subjected to lysis by WT KHYG-1 or NKp44-deficient KHYG-1 in the presence of α-NKp44 mAb or not (Round 1). Mutant cells that survived lysis by KHYG-1 were subjected to a second round (Round 2) of co-culture with WT KHYG-1 (condition 1), in the presence of α-NKp44 mAb (condition 2) or with NKp44-deficient KHYG-1 (condition 3). The abundance of sgRNA in the collection, in the surviving cells in Round 1 and in the surviving cells in Round 2 were determined by sequencing (see Material and methods). (B) Venn diagram of hits obtained with KHYG-1 co-culture (condition 1, see online supplemental table 1), KHYG-1+αNKp44mAb (condition 2, see online supplemental table 2) and NKp44- deficient KHYG-1 cells (condition 3, see online supplemental table 3). (B) Scatter plot showing the ranking of hits enriched in the NKp44-dependent killing of tumor cells by KHYG-1 cells by MAGeCK score and false discovery rate (see online supplemental table 4). FDR, false discovery rate; mAb, monoclonal antibody; sgRNA, single guide RNA; WT, wild-type.
