Western blot - Human EHMT1 knockout HCT116 cell line (AB287388)

Western blot : Anti-EHMT1 antibody [EPR18667] (ab194299) staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab194299 was shown to bind specifically to EHMT1. A band was observed at 165 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in EHMT1 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and EHMT1 knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Product details

Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.

Recommended control: Human wild-type HCT116 cell line (ab288559). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.

We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

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

McCoY5a + 10% FBS

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

EHMT1 also known as GLP (G9a-like protein) is a histone methyltransferase involved in the methylation of histone H3 on lysine 9 a modification leading to transcriptional repression. The EHMT1 protein has a mass of approximately 150 kDa and is expressed in numerous tissues including the brain and heart. It functions as part of a larger complex and acts in the modification of chromatin structure and gene expression regulation.
Biological function summary

EHMT1/GLP plays a critical role in cellular processes such as development and differentiation. It forms a complex with G9a another histone methyltransferase to facilitate these functions. This complex cooperates in controlling gene silencing and the preservation of cellular identity. Such complex mechanisms lead to alterations in gene expression patterns that are essential for normal cellular operation.

Pathways

The methylation activity of EHMT1/GLP participates in the epigenetic regulation pathway and chromatin remodeling pathways. Within these pathways it interacts closely with proteins like HP1 which binds to methylated histones to promote gene silencing. The connections with pathways that influence gene expression affirm its role in maintaining cellular processes like proliferation and embryonic development.

Researchers connect EHMT1/GLP to Kleefstra syndrome—a condition characterized by intellectual disability and developmental delays. It is also associated with some cancer types due to its epigenetic regulation influences. In these contexts abnormal EHMT1/GLP activity often involving other proteins like G9a can contribute to the disruptions in gene regulation that lead to disease manifestations.
