Generation of NBS1 I171V knock-in HCT-116 cells. (a) Structure of human NBS1 protein. NBS1 contains FHA and BRCT1/2 domains at the N terminus and several DNA repair protein-binding regions at the C terminus. FHA and BRCT1/2 domains are involved in the IR-induced nuclear foci with phosphoproteins such as γ-H2AX. NBS1 I171V is located in the BRCT1 domain. (b) Sanger sequencing confirmed NBS1 I171V heterozygosity in ovarian cancer patient 18. (c) Targeting strategy for NBS1 I171V knock-in using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Blue bases indicate silent mutations. (d–f) Sanger sequencing of NBS1+/+ parental HCT116 cell (d), NBS1+/+-edited HCT116 cell clone 1 (e), NBS1I171V/I171V-edited HCT116 cell clone 1 (f). A single base substitution of the NBS1 I171V variant and a silent Sca I site are indicated by yellow boxes.
