Product details

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.

This product is subject to limited use licenses from The Broad Institute and ERS Genomics Limited, and is developed with patented technology. For full details of the limited use licenses and relevant patents please refer to our limited use license and patent pages.

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.

Supplementary information

The SIRT6 protein also known as Sirtuin 6 plays an important role in cellular regulation. It is a member of the sirtuin family of proteins which are NAD+-dependent deacetylases. SIRT6 weighs approximately 39 kDa and can be found in the nucleus of many cell types. It acts mainly in regulating cellular homeostasis by removing acetyl groups from histone proteins which affects gene expression. Its expression levels vary across different tissues and it is known to be active in metabolically active organs such as the liver and brain.
Biological function summary

SIRT6 influences DNA repair metabolism and inflammation. It participates in maintaining genomic stability by promoting base excision repair a critical DNA repair process. Moreover SIRT6 contributes to glucose homeostasis by influencing gluconeogenesis and glycolysis. This protein is not known to be part of any larger protein complexes but it interacts individually with other proteins to exert its biological effects.

Pathways

SIRT6 plays a significant role in two key biological pathways: DNA damage response and metabolism regulation. In the DNA damage response pathway SIRT6 works with other proteins like PARP1 to facilitate DNA repair under stress conditions. In the regulation of metabolism SIRT6 interacts with transcription factors like HIF1α which influences the expression of genes involved in glycolytic metabolism and glucose homeostasis.

SIRT6 has associations with cancer and aging-related diseases. SIRT6 has a protective effect against oncogenesis by maintaining genomic stability and regulating metabolic pathways that cancer cells exploit. Additionally its role in aging is connected to its ability to prevent age-related genomic instability and metabolic decline. In cancer SIRT6 interacts with proteins such as c-Myc and p53 influencing cell growth and apoptosis pathways. This highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for both cancer and age-related conditions.
