The MSH3 gene encodes a DNA mismatch repair protein important in certain cancer types and in certain neurodegenerative diseases. Exon 2 of the MSH3 gene was targeted by CRISPR/Cas9. The resulting Msh3-/- cell line encodes a 3 amino acid deletion in Msh3 that results in 98% loss of Msh3 protein, as judged by western blots with two different antibodies. While ~98% of Msh3 protein is lost in these cells, the abundance of the related proteins Msh2 and Msh6 appear unaffected. This is relevant to DNA mismatch repair. |
