Western blot - Human PRKRA (PACT) knockout HEK-293T cell line (AB266806)

Lanes 1-4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab31967 observed at 36 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 observed at 36 kDa.

ab31967 Anti-PACT (PKR activating protein) / PRKRA antibody was shown to specifically react with PACT in wild-type HEK-293T cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266806 (knockout cell lysate ab258141) was used. Wild-type and PACT knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab31967 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated at room temperature for 2. 5 hours at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

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

Supplementary information

PACT also known as PKR activating protein or PRKRA is a regulator of the protein kinase R (PKR). This protein plays a role in PKR activation stimulating its autophosphorylation. Structurally PACT has a molecular mass of approximately 37 kDa. Researchers observed its expression in many tissues with notable presence in the brain and in immune cells. PACT functions interact with PKR and it also goes by the alternative names PKR activator and PKR protein activator.
Biological function summary

PACT involves in the cellular stress response signaling. It serves as an activator for PKR a kinase that becomes active during viral infections and stress. PACT forms complexes with PKR facilitating its activation and subsequent initiation of downstream signaling cascades. It contributes significantly to the regulation of protein synthesis and cell growth by modulating these pathways. In conditions of stress PACT ensures adequate PKR activation for host defense.

Pathways

PACT is key in the interferon signaling pathway and the stress response pathway. It partners with PKR to suppress protein synthesis through phosphorylation of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α) which slows down protein production during cellular stress. This interaction places PACT at a junction of antiviral defense and stress adaptation with PKR serving as an essential protein involved in these pathways.

PACT links to conditions such as Huntington's disease and dystonia. Dysregulation in PACT's function impacts these neurodegenerative disorders as it relates to its role in stress response. Altered interactions between PACT and PKR contribute to neuronal dysfunction highlighting its importance in these pathologies. Understanding how PACT and its partner proteins like PKR and eIF2α operate can lead to potential therapeutic targets for these diseases.
