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

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 HCT116 cell line (ab288559). 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

TAK1 also known as MAP3K7 (Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7) is an important protein kinase that weighs approximately 63 kDa. This protein is expressed in various tissues and cells including HEK 293T cells. TAK1 plays a mechanical role as a part of the MAPK signaling cascade. It phosphorylates and activates downstream kinases which is key to transmitting cellular signals that regulate responses to external stimuli like cytokines and stress.

Biological function summary

TAK1 is involved in several cellular processes necessary for maintaining balance and responding to stress. TAK1 forms a complex with proteins like TAB1 TAB2 and TAB3 which are important for its activation and signaling function. This complex facilitates TAK1's involvement in inflammation and immune response indicating its significance in mediating cellular survival and apoptosis.

Pathways

TAK1 operates within the NF-κB and MAPK pathways two critical routes for cellular response to inflammation and stress. In the NF-κB pathway TAK1 activates IKK which triggers the degradation of IκB freeing NF-κB to move into the nucleus and activate transcription. In the MAPK pathway TAK1 directly influences JNK and p38 cascades revealing regulatory connections to proteins like MEK and ERK.

Associated diseases and disorders

TAK1 has been linked to conditions such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. In cancers aberrant TAK1 activity can lead to enhanced cell proliferation and survival. Moreover inflammation-related disorders can arise from malfunctioning TAK1 signaling demonstrating its connection to proteins like TNF receptor-associated factors which are involved in inflammatory responses. Understanding TAK1's role in these disorders may pave the way for developing potential therapeutic interventions.
