Article Title: Deletion of APC7 or APC16 Allows Proliferation of Human Cells without the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint

Figure Lengend Snippet: Loss of APC7 or APC16 Provides Synthetic Viability to MAD2 Deletion (A) Strategy for assessing the synthetic viability of MAD2 deletion with the ΔAPC7 genotype. Equal numbers of wild-type, APC8-mCherry, and APC8-mCherry ΔAPC7 cells were mixed and seeded together, resulting in a mixed cell population with one-third of cells lacking APC7. The genomic MAD2 locus was then targeted by CRISPR/Cas9 using a drug-selectable donor plasmid designed to disrupt the MAD2 gene. After selection, each clonal cell line was analyzed by immunoblotting to assess loss of MAD2 and to determine its parent-of-origin cell line. (B) Analysis of APC7 and MAD2 expression in the six clonal ΔMAD2 cell lines retrieved from the setup outlined in (A). GAPDH levels served as a loading control. Note that all six retrieved clonal cell lines derive from APC8-mCherry ΔAPC7 cells. (C) Scheme of the CRISPR/Cas9-based MAD2-GFP synthetic viability assay. Cells expressing endogenously GFP-tagged MAD2 (MAD2-GFP) were transfected with a drug-selectable deletion cassette for the MAD2 gene along with a drug selection-less plasmid encoding a guide RNA targeting either APC7 or APC16. After drug selection, cell colonies were microscopically inspected for loss of MAD2-GFP fluorescence. Cell colonies lacking green fluorescence were then analyzed by immunoblotting for loss of MAD2 expression. The status of APC7 and APC16 in MAD2-deficient cells was assessed by immunoblotting or sequencing of the genomic locus, respectively. (D) Immunoblot analysis of the four clones retrieved from the MAD2-GFP synthetic viability assay performed in combination with an APC7 targeting guide RNA. Note that all retrieved clonal cell lines lost expression of APC7. (E) Analysis of SAC functionality in ΔAPC7ΔMAD2 and ΔMAD2-GFPΔAPC16 cells. Cellular DNA from wild-type, ΔAPC7ΔMAD2, and ΔMAD2-GFPΔAPC16 cells, with or without 18 hr of 200 nM nocodazole, was stained with propidium iodide and analyzed by flow cytometry. MAD2 depletion by RNAi was performed in wild-type HCT116 cells for comparison. The tables at the top show the percentage of cells with the respective (2N, 2N-4N, 4N, and >4N) DNA content. The bottom panel shows the corresponding flow cytometry profiles from the indicated cell lines. See also Figure S4 .
