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

The MBD3 protein also known as Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 3 functions mechanically by binding to methylated DNA which is an essential step in regulating gene expression. It has a molecular mass of approximately 32 kDa. MBD3 is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues demonstrating its role in fundamental cellular processes. The protein does not function alone and often interacts with other proteins as part of gene repression mechanisms.

Biological function summary

The activity of MBD3 impacts chromatin remodeling and gene expression regulation. MBD3 operates as a core component of the nucleosome remodeling deacetylase (NuRD) complex a multi-protein assembly important for transcriptional repression and chromatin structure modification. Its interaction within this complex helps modulate gene expression by altering the accessibility of chromatin and recruiting other modifiers for further regulation.

Pathways

MBD3 plays a significant role in key signaling and epigenetic pathways. It engages in pathways related to chromatin modification and transcription regulation. Its role in the NuRD complex underlines its participation in transcriptional regulation pathways impacting proteins such as HDAC1 and GATA2 which contribute to modifying histone acetylation and influencing gene transcription processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

Changes in MBD3 expression or function have links to cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders. MBD3 dysregulation associates with tumorigenesis due to its role in maintaining proper gene silencing and expression. Additionally impairment in MBD3 function can relate to intellectual disabilities and developmental delays potentially due to its interaction with epigenetic regulators like MeCP2.
