A CRISPR screen targeting PI3K effectors identifies RASA3 as a negative regulator of LFA-1–mediated adhesion in T cells

New collaborative work with Pam Schwartzberg’s lab at the NIH, led by Kristoffer Johansen who shared his time between our labs during his Wellcome Trust-funded PhD and as part of the NIH-OxCam programme.

The work is the result of a CRISPR/Cas9 screen looking for PIP3 effector proteins that regulate T cell adhesion via LFA-1. RASA3 was among the most interesting targets and was investigated further using conditional knockout mouse models.
