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 A549 cell line (ab288558). 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.
  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.
Culture medium

F-12K + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Supplementary information

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

The KMT2A protein also known as MLL (Mixed-Lineage Leukemia) is a large protein with a molecular weight of approximately 431 kDa. This protein functions as a histone methyltransferase which means it adds methyl groups to histone proteins specifically at the lysine 4 position on histone H3 (H3K4). This modification impacts chromatin structure and gene expression. KMT2A/MLL is chiefly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and various tissue types indicating its broad role in regulation across the body. The protein features a SET domain a characteristic motif for proteins involved in chromatin modification.
Biological function summary

This methyltransferase plays a significant role in regulating gene expression required for normal hematopoietic development and maintenance. KMT2A/MLL forms part of the multi-protein complex called COMPASS-like complex which is essential for its function in methylation activity. Within this complex it associates with other proteins like WDR5 RBBP5 and ASH2L that collaborate to control transcriptional elongation. KMT2A/MLL is also involved in maintaining the expression of various homeobox (HOX) genes which are critical for embryonic development and cell differentiation.

Pathways

KMT2A/MLL plays an integral role in hematopoietic and developmental signaling pathways. One key pathway is the Wnt signaling pathway important for regulating stem cell pluripotency and cell fate decisions. Another pathway is the Notch signaling pathway important for cell differentiation processes. KMT2A interacts with proteins within these pathways such as CXXC1 which links it to the DNA binding properties required for regulating target gene expression.

KMT2A/MLL is closely linked to leukemia notably acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A significant factor contributing to these associations is the gene fusions involving KMT2A often created during chromosomal translocations which result in oncogenic activation. In these leukemias it can form fusion proteins like MLL-AF4 impacting the normal regulatory activities of KMT2A. This aberrant interaction with proteins such as MEN1 can contribute to oncogenic processes by altering transcription and leading to uncontrolled cell growth.
