Western blot - Human EMD (Emerin) knockout HEK-293T cell line (AB266336)

Lanes 1-2 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab156871 observed at 35 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 observed at 37 kDa.

ab156871 Anti-Emerin antibody [EPR11071] was shown to specifically react with Emerin in wild-type HEK-293T cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266336 (knockout cell lysate ab257423) was used. Wild-type and Emerin knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab156871 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

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

Cryopreservation medium

Supplementary information

Emerin also referred to as the emerin protein is a nuclear envelope protein with a mass of approximately 34 kDa. It belongs to a family of LEM domain proteins that localize at the inner nuclear membrane. Emerin predominantly expresses in cardiac and skeletal muscles but also appears in other tissues. Its primary mechanical role involves binding to the nuclear lamina structures and interacting with various nuclear proteins to maintain nuclear integrity and architecture.
Biological function summary

Emerin serves as an important component in mechanical signal transduction pathways. It interacts with barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) forming an important part of the nuclear envelope complex. This protein complex helps in chromatin organization and regulation of gene expression. Emerin influences nuclear assembly and shape and modulates chromatin attachment to the nuclear envelope playing an important role in nuclear processes.

Pathways

Emerin participates actively in the Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy pathway and affects the interplay of other nuclear lamina components like lamin A/C. It stabilizes chromatin structure and cooperates with proteins such as nesprins and SUN proteins to regulate nuclear-cytoskeletal interactions. Emerin's involvement in these pathways highlights its role in maintaining mechanical resilience and functionality of the nuclear envelope impacting gene expression dynamics.

Emerin mutations relate to Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) and other musculoskeletal disorders. Alteration in emerin disrupts its interaction with lamin A/C and BAF leading to nuclear envelope defects. This dysfunction manifests in muscle weakness and cardiac anomalies typical of EDMD. Understanding emerin's role offers insights into pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.
