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

KAT2B also known as PCAF (p300/CBP-associated factor) is a histone acetyltransferase protein with a mass of approximately 94 kDa. It plays a role in chromatin remodeling by acetylating lysines on histone tails which facilitates transcriptional activation. KAT2B is expressed ubiquitously but higher expressions occur in tissues with active transcription such as the brain and testes. KAT2B/PCAF can also interact with transcription regulators adding another layer to its role in gene expression regulation.
Biological function summary

KAT2B/PCAF participates in modifying chromatin structure and impacting transcription. It forms part of various complexes most notably a complex with other proteins like p300 and CBP which have acetyltransferase activity too. Through modifying histones KAT2B/PCAF influences gene expression patterns critical for cell cycle regulation and differentiation. It also acetylates non-histone proteins playing roles in diverse biological processes beyond transcription.

Pathways

KAT2B/PCAF integrates into the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis pathways. One of the major pathways it involves in is the p53 signaling pathway which is important for cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to DNA damage. KAT2B/PCAF works with proteins like p53 and HDACs (histone deacetylases) to fine-tune the balance between acetylation and deacetylation of histones and other proteins influencing cell cycle progression and cellular response to stress signals.

KAT2B/PCAF has associations with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Its capability to regulate cell cycle and apoptosis connects it to cancer biology where altered expression or activity might contribute to unchecked cell proliferation. Variations in KAT2B/PCAF activity also link to neurodegenerative disorders like Huntington’s disease. The protein interacts with other factors like p53 and SMAD transcription factors in contexts relevant to these diseases suggesting its roles in pathways critical for disease development or progression.
