Handling procedures

Initial handling guidelines

Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.

1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.
5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x104 cells/cm2. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.

Subculture guidelines
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 2x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium
DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS

Activity summary

ATOX1 also known as Antioxidant 1 Copper Chaperone is a small copper-binding protein with a molecular mass of approximately 7 kDa. It plays an essential mechanical role in the transport of copper ions within the cell. ATOX1 helps deliver copper to key enzymes involved in cellular processes. It is expressed in various tissue types including the liver and the brain facilitating copper homeostasis at a cellular level.

Biological function summary

ATOX1 serves as a chaperone that transports copper ions to ATPase proteins like ATP7A and ATP7B in the secretory pathway. ATOX1 works individually rather than as part of a larger protein complex handling copper metabolism effectively. By facilitating the delivery of copper to essential enzymes ATOX1 assists in maintaining critical cellular functions such as oxidative stress response and energy production.

Pathways

Copper ion transport involving ATOX1 plays an important role in the regulation of metal ion homeostasis pathways. ATOX1 interacts closely with ATP7A and ATP7B transporting copper ions necessary for redox reactions and enzyme activities in these pathways. ATOX1's role in copper regulation also aligns with antioxidant defense processes helping protect cells from damage due to reactive oxygen species.

Associated diseases and disorders

Disruption in ATOX1 function can be linked to disorders such as Wilson's disease and Menkes disease both of which involve copper metabolism impairment. Wilson's disease involves the protein ATP7B where the absence of proper copper transport leads to toxicity. Menkes disease involves ATP7A mutations leading to a shortage of copper delivery to necessary enzymes. ATOX1's activity is important for delivering copper to these associated ATPases highlighting its importance in related pathologies.
