Abstract
This protocol describes the creation of YIPF3, YIPF4, FIP200, CALCOCO1, and ATG7 knockout cell lines in HEK293 and HeLa cells using CRISPR-Cas9.
Materials
Puromycin (Gold Biotechnology, P-600-100) pX459 (Addgene #62988)
HEK293 (ATCC CRL-1573, RRID: CVCL_0045 )
anti-YIPF4 (Sino Biological 202844-T46)
anti-ATG7 (Cell Signaling Technology, 8558S) anti-CALCOCO1 (Abclonal A7987)
Dulbecco’s MEM (DMEM), high glucose, pyruvate (Gibco / Invitrogen, 11995)
Cell line maintenance
Cell line maintenance
Maintain HEK293 and/or HeLa cells in Dulbecco’ Modifies Eagles Medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum and optional 1% penicillin-streptomycin.
Targeted knock-out specific genes including YIPF3, YIPF4, CALCOCO1, FIP200, or ATG7: targeting vector creation
Targeted knock-out specific genes including YIPF3, YIPF4, CALCOCO1, FIP200, or ATG7: targeting vector creation
For YIPF4 knock-out, the following sgRNA sequences were designed and ordered (5’ ATCTCGCGGCGACTCCCAAC 3' / 5’ CGGCCTATGCCCCCACTAAC 3' ), and cloned into a pX459 vector to create pX459-gRNA-YIPF4-KO.

For CALCOCO1 knock-out, the following sgRNA sequences were designed and ordered (5’ AAGTTGACTCCACCACGGGA 3' / 5’ CTAAGCCGGGCACCATCCCG 3'), and cloned into a pX459 vector to create pX459-gRNA-CALCOCO1-KO.

For ATG7 knock-out, the following sgRNA sequence was designed and ordered (5’ ATCCAAGGCACTACTAAAAG 3'), and cloned into a pX459 vector to create pX459-gRNA-ATG7-KO.

For FIP200 knock-out, the following sgRNA sequence was designed and ordered (5’ ACTACGATTGACACTAAAGA 3'), and cloned into a pX459 vector to create pX459-gRNA-FIP200-KO.

For YIPF3 knock-out, the following sgRNA sequences were designed and ordered (5’ CCATTTCGGGCGCCGCCCGC 3' / 5’ GGCGGCGCCCGAAATGGAGC 3'), and cloned into a pX459 vector to create pX459-gRNA-YIPF3-KO.

Sequence validate by Sanger sequencing.
CRISPR editing and confirmation
CRISPR editing and confirmation
Transfect HEK293 and/or HeLa cells with the pX459-gRNA-YIPF4-KO, pX459-gRNA-CALCOCO1-KO, pX459-gRNA-ATG7-KO, gRNA-FIP200-KO, or gRNA-YIPF3-KO with Lipofectamine 3000, and select with 1.2 µg/mL of puromycin for 24-48 hours. Select monoclonal cells by limiting dilution or by cell sorting (SONY SH800S sorter) in 96 well plates.
Individual clones were subjected to immunoblotting with anti-YIPF4 (Sino Biological 202844-T46), anti-ATG7 (Cell Signaling Technology, 8558S), anti-FIP200 (Cell Signaling Technology, 12436), anti-YIPF3 (Invitrogen PA566621), or anti-CALCOCO1 Rabbit mAb antibody (Abclonal A7987) and clones lacking the relevant protein were selected for further analysis by Sanger sequencing of the edited alleles.
