Western blot - Human USP18 (UBP43) knockout A549 cell line (AB267177)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-USP18 antibody staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, the antibody was shown to bind specifically to USP18. A band was observed at 34/37 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in USP18 knockout cell line ab267177 (knockout cell lysate ab258751). To generate this image, wild-type and USP18 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

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.
  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.

Supplementary information

UBP43 also known as USP18 is a deubiquitinating enzyme that is 43 kilodaltons in mass. This protein removes ubiquitin from ubiquitinated proteins which regulates their degradation and stability. UBP43 is expressed widely in the body with significant levels in the immune and nervous systems. Its alternate name USP18 reflects its inclusion in the ubiquitin-specific protease family highlighting its specific function in modulating protein ubiquitination.
Biological function summary

UBP43 regulates type I interferon signaling and affects immune response. As a negative feedback regulator it inhibits the interferon signaling pathway preventing unnecessary immune reactions. UBP43 does not form a part of a larger protein complex but acts independently to maintain cellular homeostasis. Its activity impacts the function of other proteins involved in response to viral infections.

Pathways

UBP43 plays an important role in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway interacting with proteins involved in cytokine signaling. It influences the pathway by inhibiting the action of interferon-stimulated genes therefore modulating the immune response. UBP43's interaction with ISG15 a ubiquitin-like modifier is also a critical aspect that affects other cellular processes like protein modification and response to inflammatory stimuli.

UBP43 is closely linked to autoimmune diseases and viral infections. Altered UBP43 activity can lead to improper immune responses contributing to conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus. It also plays a role in the body's defense against viral infections where its dysregulation may affect the efficiency of antiviral responses. The interplay between UBP43 and ISG15 is of particular interest as changes in their interaction could provide insights into the development or progression of these disorders.
