Massively parallel interrogation of human functional variants modulating cancer immunosurveillance by Ying Liu, Yongshuo Liu, Xuran Niu, Ang Chen, Yizhou Li, Ying Yu, Binrui Mo, Zhiheng Liu, Tao Xu, Jie Cheng, Zeguang Wu, Wensheng Wei

“…Here, we harnessed the ABEmax system to establish a large-scale sgRNA library encompassing approximately 820,000 sgRNAs that target all feasible serine/threonine/tyrosine residues across the human genome, which systematically unveiled thousands of novel mutations that decrease or augment PD-L1 or HLA-I expression. Beyond residues associated with phosphorylation events, our screens also identified functional mutations that affect mRNA or protein stability, DNA binding capacity, protein-protein interactions, and enzymatic catalytic activity, leading to either gene inactivation or activation. …”
