Supplementary information

Ubiquilin also known as UBQLN1 is a protein that plays a significant role in protein quality control processes. It has a molecular mass of approximately 62 kDa. Ubiquilin is widely expressed in various human tissues notably in the brain heart and skeletal muscle. It facilitates the delivery of misfolded proteins to the proteasome for degradation assisting in maintaining protein homeostasis. This function is essential in preventing the accumulation of dysfunctional proteins which could otherwise be toxic to cells.
Biological function summary

Ubiquilin/UBQLN1 serves as a shuttle factor a component in the intricate network regulating protein degradation. It associates with ubiquitinated proteins and guides them to proteasomes or autophagosomes for disposal. Moreover Ubiquilin forms a complex with heat shock proteins and proteasome components enhancing its role in managing cellular protein quality control. Its activity actively influences proteostasis ensuring the careful balance of protein synthesis and breakdown.

Pathways

Ubiquilin/UBQLN1 is integral to the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy pathways. In these pathways Ubiquilin partners with proteins such as ubiquitin ligases and various adaptor proteins to mediate the clearance of misfolded or excess proteins therefore preventing cellular damage. Its interaction with the chaperone HSP70 is critical for delivering proteins tagged for degradation. Through these pathways Ubiquilin influences cellular stress responses and protein turnover maintaining cellular function and health.

Abnormalities in Ubiquilin/UBQLN1 have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Altered UBQLN1 function or expression contributes to Alzheimer's disease linked to protein aggregation and neuronal damage. Additionally mutations or dysregulation of UBQLN1 are observed in certain cancers where disrupted protein homeostasis promotes tumorigenesis. Here it's involvement with proteins like presenilin-1 and the amyloid precursor protein emphasizes its contributions to disease states making it a focus for therapeutic research.

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. <p>1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.<br>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.<br>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.<br>4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO<sub>2</sub>. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.<br>5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x10<sup>4</sup> cells/cm<sup>2</sup>. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.</p>

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.
