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

F-12K + 10% FBS

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

ERK5 also known as big MAP kinase 1 (BMK1) is an enzyme that functions as a protein-serine/threonine kinase within the MAP kinase family. It has a molecular weight of approximately 120 kDa. ERK5 is expressed in various tissues including the brain heart and lungs with notable expression in endothelial cells. The protein plays a mechanical role in signal transduction processes which it achieves by transmitting signals from extracellular sources to the cellular nucleus facilitating the regulation of gene expression.

Biological function summary

ERK5 influences cellular functions through its role in promoting cell proliferation and differentiation. It serves as part of a signaling complex that includes the MAP kinase kinase 5 (MEK5). This interaction allows ERK5 to phosphorylate and subsequently activate target substrates such as transcription factors promoting cellular responses necessary for development and survival. ERK5 also plays a role in the response to oxidative stress which contributes to its impact on survival pathways and cellular stress responses.

Pathways

ERK5 acts within the MAPK signaling cascade and is linked to the ERK/MAPK pathway and the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. Within these pathways ERK5 interacts with other MAP kinases and regulatory proteins such as Ras and Raf contributing to a wide range of cellular processes including growth migration and survival. Through these interactions ERK5 influences cellular dynamics and mediates responses to growth factors and stress stimuli.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal activity of ERK5 has been implicated in various conditions including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Elevated ERK5 signaling can promote tumor progression and metastasis in certain cancers by enhancing tumor cell proliferation and survival. In cardiovascular disorders ERK5 interacts with proteins like calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) influencing pathological cardiac remodeling and hypertrophy. These associations highlight ERK5's impact on disease mechanisms and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target.
