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
Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Biological function summary
MAF1 is significant in cellular growth and metabolism regulation. It is not part of a larger protein complex but interacts with several proteins to exert its regulatory functions. MAF1 acts as a brake on RNA polymerase III activity responding to changes in cellular environmental conditions such as nutrient availability and stress. By doing so MAF1 helps coordinate cellular responses to shifts in energy levels and stress modulating the balance between cell growth and maintenance.
Pathways
MAF1 plays a role in the mTOR signaling pathway which is important for cell growth proliferation and survival. Within this pathway MAF1 functions as a downstream effector that inhibits RNA transcription when mTORC1 activity decreases. It relates closely to other proteins such as mTOR and AKT which are also involved in cellular responses to nutrient and energy fluctuations. By influencing RNA polymerase III transcription MAF1 contributes to the regulation of protein synthesis according to metabolic needs.
