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.

Notes

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 PC-3 cell line (Human wild-type PC-3 cell line ab290718). 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.

Activity summary

KAT7 also known as Hbo1 KAT-7 MYST2 KAT-7 and Katset functions as a histone acetyltransferase specifically modifying histone H4 at lysine 12 5 and 8. With a molecular mass typically around 63 kDa KAT7 is expressed in nucleus and localizes to chromatin. It associates with chromatin during DNA replication and is vital in histone H4 acetylation facilitating chromatin remodeling and gene expression.

Biological function summary

This protein plays a significant role in transcription regulation and DNA replication. KAT7 is a component of the HBO1 complex working together with other proteins like JADE1/2/3 BRPF1/2/3 and ING4/5 making it integral to cell cycle progression and transcriptional activation. This complex is essential for initiating DNA replication as it acetylates histones and regulates chromatin accessibility necessary for DNA synthesis.

Pathways

KAT7/Hbo1/MYST2 is actively engaged in the transcriptional regulatory network and DNA replication pathways. It influences gene expression through its interaction with the transcriptional machinery and by modifying the chromatin structure. Within these pathways it interacts with proteins like BRPF1 and ING5 enhancing transcription and replication. This positions KAT7 as an important component in ensuring cellular growth and division through its histone acetylation activities.

Associated diseases and disorders

Research indicates a link between KAT7 function and cancer. Its dysregulation contributes to tumorigenesis related to its role in cell proliferation and gene expression. KAT7 affects the expression of oncogenes and interacts with proteins like p53. Altered KAT7 activity disrupts normal cellular processes and in cancer results in aberrant cell cycle regulation and uncontrolled cell proliferation highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in oncology.
