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.

Supplementary information

PXK also known as Phosphoinositide-binding protein FAM20-kinase or MOYBG Protein Kinase-like is a membrane-associated protein with a molecular mass of approximately 59 kDa. Experts have identified it for its kinase-like properties although it lacks conventional kinase activity. PXK is expressed in various tissues including brain liver and kidney with significant presence in neuronal cells. Its mechanical role involves modulating neuronal signaling and membrane dynamics through interactions with phosphoinositides.
Biological function summary

PXK participates in the regulation of cellular organization and synaptic functions. While not a direct component of signaling complexes it influences processes related to cytoskeletal rearrangement and membrane trafficking. Through its phosphoinositide-binding domains PXK impacts the localization and assembly of proteins involved in synaptic vesicle turnover. As a scaffolding protein it indirectly affects signal transduction pathways by altering the spatial arrangement of interacting proteins.

Pathways

PXK influences the phosphoinositide signaling pathway and the synaptic vesicle cycle. Its interactions with proteins like dynamin and synaptojanin allow researchers to deduce its role in vesicle endocytosis and membrane recycling. PXK indirectly modulates the activity of these proteins impacting the efficiency of synaptic transmission. These pathways underline its role in maintaining synaptic stability and plasticity essential for proper neuronal communication.

Researchers have linked PXK to neurodegenerative diseases and certain immune disorders. Alterations in PXK expression have association with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease where disrupted synaptic function is an important feature. Furthermore its interaction with immune-related proteins like NF-κB suggests a role in autoimmune processes. These links highlight the importance of PXK in maintaining cellular function and its potential as a therapeutic target in related diseases.
